Can Germany Pay?

Villard, Oswald Garrison | January 28, 1931 issue

This article focuses on the reparations demanded of Germany and her debt to the U.S. If the Allies and the U.S. insist, Germany can be made to pay in the course of generations, even if its government takes advantage of the moratorium provided under the Young Plan as it probably will. But the question which the nations involved should put to themselves today is not can Germany pay? but should Germany pay? Yes, Germany can pay; and one will find foreign observers in Berlin, official and unofficial, who will undertake to prove it in marks and pfennigs.
