How Hun Figured
American Indemnity
L . _
By C. M. MORRISON.
OVER in Paris the delegates to
the peace conference have been
talking about the amount of
the German indemnity, the size of the
fine that should be assessed on Hun
land for its recent attempt to chain
the world down in links forged in Es
sen.
And from time to time someone has
recalled that the Hun had fixed the
amount to be ooileoted from America
at $40,000,000,000. That is right, 40
billion dollars.
Unlike the allied peace delegates,
Germany was never in any doubt about
how big a figure should be named.
They had the indemnity figures all
worked out for the allied nations. And
you can gamble that they would have
collected every dollar, every franc
and every pound of the amount, too.
Your Hun was never a gentle little
mild-mannered irresponsible when it
came to taking what he wanted. He
would have collected.
j. nanus to uio uw ncttious ui tut?
! earth, the Hun is in no position to
make any demands. In fact, so badly
was he battered in the process of
whipping him that he is hardly worth
making any demands upon at the pres
ent time.
But consider. We have raised, up
to the Fifth Loan's beginning, about
$18,000,000,000 in Liberty Loan funds.
Not quite half as much as the Hun
would have assessed upon us had he
come to New York and Washington
to have received our submission.
And yet there are jsopie lftven&er*
blooded Americans and a good many
pro-Germans living in America who
are yelping because they are being
asked to subscribe to another loan.
They don’t want to hear the war
mentioned, except in terms of re
proach and apology. There is nothing
that they will believe about the Hun
except that he must have been terribly
lied about. But their main considera
tion is to keep from subscribing a dol
lar to the Victory Liberty Loan and.
their tongues are clacking very busily
at every opportunity to cripple the
Victory issue in every possible way.
,HE word' Victory is not
sweet upon their lips, unless
perchance it might be a Ger
man victory. The safety of their
skins has always been paramount,
and their strongest interest In
life just now is to keep every dollar
in their purses. There is a sneer in
their hearts, if not on their lips, when
they can see an American soldier.
If Germany had won this war—at
this very minute the wheat that is
stored in American elevators would
be gQing into the holds of vessels
hound for Hunland. Every warehouse
in this country would be emptying of
its raw materials.
in every bank German non-commis
sioned oflicers would be making an
Inventory of the vaults, the strong
boxes and the safety deposit bases.
German informers, the cattle who have
been among us for years, would be
marching up to the Hun conquerors
and “turning in” their neighbors, de
scribing Just where valuables might
be found that would go to swell the
Hun loot from America.'
Nudy Arnof will leave to
morrow for Memphis where he
will spend the summer attend
ing the business college* , ^
