B.so'arm.) London, April 2G. Sir George Paish, in the Statist, dealing with the economic questions arising from the war, said he could not think that if the business-men of, Germany had any weight in the coun-j oil of war, the struggle would be continued indefinitely. They realised clearly the disadvantages of a long war, and judging from the increasing! economic indications Germany couldi not hope to win, and business men' would bring all the influence possible, to bear on the governing classes to recognise the situation, so as to minimise the consequents to their country. It was evident to everyone outside Germany that the country could not stand' a long war, as could the Aliies. Tni proportion to their population the Al-j lies suffer little loss of purchasing power, whereas the German loss is very serious. It must be evident to German business-men, as to everyone else that the longer the war the more onerous will be the terms of. peace and the more serious the permanent 'consequences to the German nation.
