There is an increasing opportunity for employing men on the land and for atilising land to the uttermost. There is also

every reason to sunpose that the pre-war preference for town life, at least so far as men are concerned, will have largely disappeared. Not only

Clearly then the Germans nould not complain if the Allies called upon them for a similar increnss of "imperial" taxation to that which they hava Already imposed on themselves.

The grand total of pre-war expend iture which the Allies might icatly intercept would ap to this point be £77,423,000. Add, say, 300 million for indemnity taxes and we get the considerable sum of 377 million pounds a year leviable on the Empiro alone without touching the Federal States

revenues,

Before the war these averaged about 10,000 million marks, or 500 millions sterling. A possible addition to them of, say, 50 per cent would produsa 280 millions, In round Egures,sbout 600 millions sterling a year might be levied on the Germans through increases in their imperial" and federal taxés leaving municipal and rural fäxation for farther attention. Twenty years of ant nual levica at the rate of 600 millions year should mount up to 12,000 millions starling.

The Germans need not go bankrupt unless they want to or, find that it will suit them better than being honest. But they will require no end of watching to keep them straight. Of cours their own war debt is not taken into account in the foregoing calculations. The Allies need not recognize it in any way.
