To restore her wealth after tha war, all capital must be reserved for horaei uses. No ra>w material of foreign pro/" duction must 'be used. Everyone not. actually needed in professional or Intel- •„ lectual work must bo made to engages in productive labop.' ©mall undertakings will have to be amalgamated into large ones, production and distribution concentavoed; and the tax on luxuries ami inheritances must hear an oxijMoaljj heavy burden.
