The crisis in Germany to-day is infinitely more serious than in any modern industrial history. The masses in Germany aTe displaying amazing fortitude in the face of a heart-rending situation. The workless number at least 2} millions, and another 2J millions are partially without work, and 150,000 unemployed miners in the Buhr alone, while the best workers only, earn 8d to Is lOd an hour. Youths earn as low as 2d an hour. -The highest net wage in the Bhineland,* 40 marks weekly, insufficient- for decent living, equals 30s in England.
