GERMANY CANNOT WIN.

THE ECONOMIC ASPEGT.

THE LONGER THE WAR, MORE SERIOUS THE CONSEQUENCES

(Received April 27, 8.50 a.m.)

LONDON, April 26, \ Sir George Paisji, joint editor, writing in the "Statist," Sealing with economic questions arising out of the Avar, says that he could not think, if the business men of Germany had any voice in the Council of War, the struggle would be continued indefinitely. They realised clearly the disadvantages of a long war, and, judging from the increasing economic indications/ Germany could not hope to win, and business men would bring all the influence possible to bear on the governing classes to make them recognise the situation and minimise the consequences to their country ... It was evident to everyone outside Germany that the country could not stand as long a Avar as.couM the Allies. In proportion to population the Allies would" suffer, little loss in purchasing poAver, whereas the German loss would be very serious.

It must be evident to German business men, as to everyone else, that the longer the Avar lasts the more onerous will be the terms of peace and the more serious and permanent the consequences to the German nation.
