Abstract

Editorial Paragraphs

The article presents information related to political issues. The South African strike is over; the bloodshed and the organized savagery have stopped, and the men are back at work. The most active strikers are dead or in prison. The issues of the struggle are presumably to be submitted to the board of inquiry agreed to by both sides in the early days of the strike. The problems such a board would face are rooted in economic conditions beyond its control. According to another information, here is both ingenuity and intelligence in the plan for dealing with German reparations proposed on behalf of the British Government by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Robert Horne. He would separate the total indemnity of 135,000,000,000 gold marks into two parts, the first to equal the debt of the Allies to America, about 45,000,000,000 gold marks, and the second to comprise the remainder.
