Germans have to hand over to the Allies the whole of the gold reserves in the Reichsbank, and when her gold has gone and her credit is practically ruined, how can Germany ever hope to re-establish her financial position among the nations unless she has something with which to back her credit? Unable to obtain gold, Germany must inevitably turn to silver.. Germany was responsible for the great fall in the value of silver which took place in "1871 through the demonetisation of her thalers, and equally so she may quite possibly be responsible for the price of silver recovering to the level at which it stood previous to the Fran- co Prussian war, if she is forced to go back to a silver standard.
