The Daily Express says:—“Financial and industrial circles are agitated over the question of whether Britain’s vital foreign trade can survive 'the blunder of insisting on a. cash payment of the German indemnity. The most striking paradox of. the whole war is the fact that the defeated nations emerge industrial victors. The folly of requiring cash instead of material payments, in order to meet which, Germany must export double the aggregate of the British and German pre-war exports, is slowly sinking into the minds of business men. When the public fully realise the consequences of the policy t-o which diplomacy has committed us, them will be an uprising which will change the face of Europe.”
