THE LEVY ON DEBTS TO GERMANS.
Difficulty in Carrying It Out.
The few days which have olapsed since the break-up of the Reparations Conference have certainly not served to imbue the City with much confidence that the particular sanction to which Mr. Lloyd Georgs "attached the greatest importance "-namely. the interception of 50 per cent, of the debts due in Allied countries to German nationals-is likely to turn out a workable proposi tion, writes the financial editor of a home journal. At first sight it seems very simple for a man who buys £1,000 worth of German goods, to use Mr. Lloyd George's into illustration, to pay £500 the British Exchequer nud 10 remit an Exchequer re- ceipt for this £500 and the other £500 in cash to the German exporter. But, as a matter of practice, neither the carrying out o is procedure nor its enfor cement is likely to be at all easy,

"That's right
-they do satisfy!"
There's more to a cigarette than "pleas- ing the taste.". Other cigarettes, besides Chesterfields, can do that,
But Chesterfields do more they begin where the rest of them stop! Because Chesterfields let you know you are smoking -they SATISFY!
There you have it-SATISFY. It's all in the blend-a blend of fine selected TURKISH and AMERICAN tobaccos. And the blend can't be copied.
That's why you must have Chesterfields if you want this new cigarette enjoyment.
