The people of Germany have developed quickly since the summer and aitamn of 1918, and their development has been upon to democratic lines. It is a mistake Imagine that the masses desire any form of monarchical restoration. The reaction ary, movements which are given such pro- minence in the British Press bave not the nation at their back. They are unlikely to succeed in the ejrcumstances,
SOCIAL CONDITIONE
According to the plans of the Govern ment, there is to be enforced the heavy tax upon property which will compel land- owners to abandon their estates. It will operate progressively according to the vaule of the property. Land which has been held by the family for centuries will be sold, and three-fourths of the proceets of the anle will go to the State. A man who has always been rich will, Ander this schemic, become poor, since what remains to him will suffer the further loss imposed by the beavy decline in the sale of money. It must be clearly understood that the mark is not merely at a low level abroad, but at home in Germany its value bas descended greatly. For example, an un skilled country labourer is now feceiving twenty marks a day, ao anheard of wigs before the war for this class of worker. For an overcoat, again, one pays, at a good tailor's 1,800 marks, nominally It is still £50 out of £80.
one's German income, although it is very little if the 1,600 marks have been exchanged for British currency. Englishmen with Eng lish money can thrive in Germany on the exchange. But for German with incomes derived from local sources prices are ruin- out. It is still more difficult for & Gar man to travel and live in foreign countries at the existing rate of exchange.
