CAN HUNS PAY AN INDEMNITY?
I Professor B,?. i'ranz Oppenheimer discusses in the Frankfurter Gazette an alleged English suggestion that Germany should be compelled to pay the victorious Allies an indemnity of 50,000 to 100,000 million pounds. He points out that it would not be possible without bleeding Germany "absolutely white'' to collect 'even a tithe of so fantastic a sum.. After showing the impossibility of Germany paying a gigantic indemnity in gold and other mobile assets, and raising the wherewithal for additional large annual charges, Oppenheimer says he recommends these "fantasies" to visionaries" both behind and in front of the German trenches." As the Hun indemnity expert, Dr. Hclfferich, reads the Frankfort Gazette regularly, Oppbnlieimcr's homily will reach the right address i:i Germany.
