Freneh and Knt'lisli economists agreed that Germany could not jay a
larire sum in fold, but must pay the major portion in goods.
If Germany had then met the problem fairly, abandoned her old
policy ,,f chicanery and ill faith.a solution miirht have laren found,
but with iueomi.rehen.sible stupidity, she proceeded to wail and
whimper and offer payments, which convicted her of deception on
their face.
This procedure threw the entire matter back into the post-war sea
of bitterness and suspicion au-ain. What Secretary Hughes is tryiii"
to do, is. if possible, to change the German habit of mind. persuade
her to abandon poker tactics, and in a spirit of good faith, play fair,
offer to pay the limit she can pay.
In '.he reply to the Hughes note Germany intimates she will d,. this.
If this promise is backed up by proper guarantees, thc reparation
problem may still be treated without direct military action, but even
so for the reasons mentioned above it will remain one of the most
complicated and perplexing tangles, Kuropean statesmanship lias
had to face in the present century.
