By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Rec. May 27, 8.30 p.m.)
London, May 27
The “Daily Express” says that financial ami industrial circles are agitated over ihe question whether Britain’s vital foreign trade can survive the blunder of insisting on a cash payment of the German indemnity.
The most striking paradox of the whole war,” says the paper, “is the fact that, the defeated notion emerge industrial victors. The folly of requiring cash instead of material payments, in order to meet which Germany must export double the aggregate British and German pre-war exports, is slowly sinking into' the minds, of business men. It hen the public fully realise the consequences of the policy to which diplomacy has committed us, there will be an uprising which will change the face of Europe.”—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
