The devastation which we had to doj with must primarily be looked upon as a disturbanes of the working of the compli rated machinery of modern society, and a consequent reduction of the income earn- ing capacity of the world. The real cala- mity was the devastation of the social organism which kept the machinery going. The worst thing was that this devasin sion was still continually going on, mak ing all efforts at reparation fain aud futile.
REPARATIONS PROBLEM-
Referring to reparations, the lecturer said that the first point on overy pro griuume for reparation must obviously be ho cessation of further devastation. (Cheers) The most important hindrance to a rational work for reconstruction had Ised that the question of payment for re- construction had been put in the fore ground instead of reconstruction itself. Disproportionate interest had been devot ed to the question as to who should pay. and unreasonable costs had been incurred in order to enforce payment from those)" who were regarded as guilty The French devastation of Germany, which was still going on, under the pretext that Germany cold be forced to pay, had now brought Germany into a worse coll lition than France (Cheers.)

LE CLERG'S PIELE FOR ME
As people had begun gradually to realise the shoer impossibility of the in- demnity figures first put forward, the question of Germany's real ability to pay had come to play a prominent role in the whole discussion of European reconstruc. tion. It was in itself a good idea that A scientific investigation should be made into the matter. Germany's paying capa city was continually altering, and de pended in the future primarily on how Germany was going to be treated. Ger- many had at presesit to restrict her fo ports of food, and of raw material für below the minimuru which would be re quired for à sound feeding of the German- people. In spite of this, Germany had hardly been able in any year since the Armistice to obtain any rend squilibrium in her international payments. If an equilibrium had been obtained it had

A real with both the Midland and the Great and lasting solution was only possible if Northern Railways. the whole problem of Germany's paying capacity was scientifically investigated.
STARVING-OUT GERMANY
The Chairman, in proposing a vote of thanks to the lecturer, said he greed with every word of Professor Cassel's in- spiring address. In his mind thero was no devastation more serious, more

It would almost ap pear that we would rather lose Germany. as a customer so ong as did not have her as a competitor. (Hear, hear.)"
There were some who were willing to sec Franco crush Gormany, even if Germany had to be reduced to starvation. There were some economists who held that Ger- many's population should be reduced by twenty inillians, whether by starvation or otherwise. He was talking to a German the other day about the problem, and asked if there was any way out of this terrible plight. The answer was: None, unless the attitude of Europe towards Germany was fundamentally altered.".
