The player with the white pieces commences the game. A player is said to ‘have the move’, when his opponent’s move has been ‘made’. (See Article 6.7) 1.2 The objective of each player is to place the opponent’s king ‘under attack’ in such a way that the opponent has no legal move. The player who achieves this goal is said to have ‘checkmated’ the opponent’s king and to have won the game. Leaving one’s own king under attack, exposing one’s own king to attack and also ’capturing’ the opponent’s king are not allowed. The opponent whose king has been checkmated has lost the game. 1.3 どちらのプレーヤーもチェックメイトに出来ない局面になったとき、ゲームは引き分けとなる。 Article 2 The initial position of the pieces on the chessboard 2.1 The chessboard is composed of an 8 x 8 grid of 64 equal squares alternately light (the ‘white’ squares) and dark (the ‘black’ squares). The chessboard is placed between the players in such a way that the near corner square to the right of the player is white. 2.2 At the beginning of the game one player has 16 light-coloured pieces (the ‘white’ pieces); the other has 16 dark-coloured pieces (the ‘black’ pieces). These pieces are as follows A white king, usually indicated by the symbol A white queen, usually indicated by the symbol Two white rooks, usually indicated by the symbol Two white bishops, usually indicated by the symbol Two white knights, usually indicated by the symbol Eight white pawns, usually indicated by the symbol A black king, usually indicated by the symbol A black queen, usually indicated by the symbol Two black rooks, usually indicated by the symbol Two black bishops, usually indicated by the symbol Two black knights, usually indicated by the symbol Eight black pawns, usually indicated by the symbol 2.3 各駒は以下のような初期配置でチェス盤に並べられる： 2.4 The eight vertical columns of squares are called ‘files’. The eight horizontal rows of squares are called ‘ranks’. A straight line of squares of the same colour, running from one edge of the board to an adjacent edge, is called a ‘diagonal’. Article 3 The moves of the pieces 3.1 It is not permitted to move a piece to a square occupied by a piece of the same colour. If a piece moves to a square occupied by an opponent’s piece the latter is captured and removed from the chessboard as part of the same move. A piece is said to attack an opponent’s piece if the piece could make a capture on that square according to the Articles 3.2 to 3.8. A piece is considered to attack a square, even if such a piece is constrained from moving to that square because it would then leave or place the king of its own colour under attack. 3.2 The bishop may move to any square along a diagonal on which it stands. 3.3 The rook may move to any square along the file or the rank on which it stands. 3.4 The queen may move to any square along the file, the rank or a diagonal on which it stands. 3.5 When making these moves the bishop, rook or queen may not move over any intervening pieces. 3.6 The knight may move to one of the squares nearest to that on which it stands but not on the same rank, file or diagonal. 3.7 a. The pawn may move forward to the unoccupied square immediately in front of it on the same file, or b. on its first move the pawn may move as in 3.7.a or alternatively it may advance two squares along the same file provided both squares are unoccupied, or c. the pawn may move to a square occupied by an opponent’s piece, which is diagonally in front of it on an adjacent file, capturing that piece. d. A pawn attacking a square crossed by an opponent’s pawn which has advanced two squares in one move from its original square may capture this opponent’s pawn as though the latter had been moved only one square. This capture is only legal on the move following this advance and is called an ‘en passant’ capture. e. When a pawn reaches the rank furthest from its starting position it must be exchanged as part of the same move on the same square for a new queen, rook, bishop or knight of the same colour. The player’s choice is not restricted to pieces that have been captured previously. This exchange of a pawn for another piece is called ‘promotion’ and the effect of the new piece is immediate. 3.8 a. There are two different ways of moving the king by moving to any adjoining square not attacked by one or more of the opponent’s pieces or by ‘castling’. This is a move of the king and either rook of the same colour along the player’s first rank, counting as a single move of the king and executed as follows the king is transferred from its original square two squares towards the rook on its original square, then that rook is transferred to the square the king has just crossed. moves_castling.gif b. (1) The right to castle has been lost a. if the king has already moved, or b. with a rook that has already moved. (2) Castling is prevented temporarily a. if the square on which the king stands, or the square which it must cross, or the square which it is to occupy, is attacked by one or more of the opponent s pieces, or b. if there is any piece between the king and the rook with which castling is to be effected. 3.9 The king is said to be in check if it is attacked by one or more of the opponent s pieces, even if such pieces are constrained from moving to that square because they would then leave or place their own king in check. No piece can be moved that will either expose the king of the same colour to check or leave that king in check. Article 4 The act of moving the pieces 4.1 Each move must be made with one hand only. 4.2 Provided that he first expresses his intention (for example by saying „j’adoube“ or “I adjust”), the player having the move may adjust one or more pieces on their squares. 4.3 Except as providedin Article 4.2, if the player having the move deliberately touches on the chessboard a. one or more of his own pieces, he must move the first piece touched which can be moved b. one or more of his opponent’s pieces, he must capture the first piece touched which can be captured c. one piece of each colour, he must capture the opponent’s piece with his piece or, if this is illegal, move or capture the first piece touched which can be moved or captured. If it is unclear, whether the player’s own piece or his opponent’s was touched first, the player’s own piece shall be considered to have been touched before his opponent’s. 4.4 If a player having the move a. deliberately touches his king and rook he must castle on that side if it is legal to do so b. deliberately touches a rook and then his king he is not allowed to castle on that side on that move and the situation shall be governed by Article 4.3.a c. intending to castle, touches the king or king and rook at the same time, but castling on that side is illegal, the player must make another legal move with his king (which may include castling on the other side). If the king has no legal move, the player is free to make any legal move d. promotes a pawn, the choice of the piece is finalised, when the piece has touched the square of promotion. 4.5 If none of the pieces touched can be moved or captured, the player may make any legal move. 4.6 When, as a legal move or part of a legal move, a piece has been released on a square, it cannot be moved to another square on this move. The move is then considered to have been made a. in the case of a capture, when the captured piece has been removed from the chessboard and the player, having placed his own piece on its new square, has released this capturing piece from his hand b. in the case of castling, when the player s hand has released the rook on the square previously crossed by the king. When the player has released the king from his hand, the move is not yet made, but the player no longer has the right to make any move other than castling on that side, if this is legal c. in the case of the promotion of a pawn, when the pawn has been removed from the chessboard and the player s hand has released the new piece after placing it on the promotion square. If the player has released from his hand the pawn that has reached the promotion square, the move is not yet made, but the player no longer has the right to play the pawn to another square. The move is called legal when all the relevant requirements of Article 3 have been fulfilled. If the move is not legal, another move shall be made instead as per Article 4.5. 4.7 A player forfeits his right to a claim against his opponent’s violation of Article 4 once he deliberately touches a piece. Article 5 The completion of the game 5.1 a. The game is won by the player who has checkmated his opponent’s king. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the checkmate position was a legal move. b. The game is won by the player whose opponent declares he resigns. This immediately ends the game. 5.2 a. The game is drawn when the player to move has no legal move and his king is not in check. The game is said to end in ‘stalemate’. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the stalemate position was legal. b. The game is drawn when a position has arisen in which neither player can checkmate the opponent’s king with any series of legal moves. The game is said to end in a ‘dead position’. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the position was legal. (See Article 9.6) c. The game is drawn upon agreement between the two players during the game. This immediately ends the game. (See Article 9.1) d. The game may be drawn if any identical position is about to appear or has appeared on the chessboard at least three times. (See Article 9.2) e. The game may be drawn if each player has made at least the last 50 consecutive moves without the movement of any pawn and without any capture. (See Article 9.3) COMPETITION RULES Article 6 The chess clock 6.1 ‘Chess clock’ means a clock with two time displays, connected to each other in such a way that only one of them can run at one time. ‘Clock’ in the Laws of Chess, means one of the two time displays. Each time display has a ‘flag’. ‘Flag fall’ means the expiration of the allotted time for a player. 6.2 a. When using a chess clock, each player must make a minimum number of moves or all moves in an allotted period of time and/or may be allocated an additional amount of time with each move. All these must be specified in advance. b. The time saved by a player during one period is added to his time available for the next period, except in the ‘time delay’ mode. In the time delay mode both players receive an allotted ‘main thinking time’. Each player also receives a ‘fixed extra time’ with every move. The countdown of the main time only commences after the fixed time has expired. Provided the player stops his clock before the expiration of the fixed time, the main thinking time does not change, irrespective of the proportion of the fixed time used. 6.3 Immediately after a flag falls, the requirements of article 6.2 a. must be checked. 6.4 Before the start of the game the arbiter decides where the chess clock is placed. 6.5 At the time determined for the start of the game the clock of the player who has the white pieces is started. 6.6 a. Any player who arrives at the chessboard after the start of the session shall lose the game. Thus the default time is 0 minutes. The rules of a competition may specify otherwise. b. If the rules of a competition specify a different default time, the following shall apply. If neither player is present initially, the player who has the white pieces shall lose all the time that elapses until he arrives, unless the rules of the competition specify or the arbiter decides otherwise. 6.7 a. During the game each player, having made his move on the chessboard, shall stop his own clock and start his opponent’s clock. A player must always be allowed to stop hisclock. His move is not considered to have been completed until he has done so, unless the move that was made ends the game. (See the Articles 5.1.a, 5.2.a, 5.2.b, 5.2.c and 9.6) The time between making the move on the chessboard and stopping his own clock and starting his opponent‘s clock is regarded as part of the time allotted to the player. b. A player must stop his clock with the same hand as that with which he made his move. It is forbidden for a player to keep his finger on the button or to ‘hover’ over it. c. The players must handle the chess clock properly. It is forbidden to punch it forcibly, to pick it up or to knock it over. Improper clock handling shall be penalised in accordance with Article 13.4. d. If a player is unable to use the clock, an assistant, who must be acceptable to the arbiter, may be provided by the player to perform this operation. His clock shall be adjusted by the arbiter in an equitable way. 6.8 A flag is considered to have fallen when the arbiter observes the fact or when either player has made a valid claim to that effect. 6.9 Except where one of the Articles 5.1.a, 5.1.b, 5.2.a, 5.2.b, 5.2.c applies, if a player does not complete the prescribed number of moves in the allotted time, the game is lost by the player. However, the game is drawn, if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves. 6.10 a. Every indication given by the clocks is considered to be conclusive in the absence of any evident defect. A chess clock with an evident defect shall be replaced. The arbiter shall replace the clock and use his best judgment when determining the times to be shown on the replacement chess clocks. b. If during a game it is found that the setting of either or both clocks was incorrect, either player or the arbiter shall stop the clocks immediately. The arbiter shall install the correct setting and adjust the times and move counter. He shall use his best judgement when determining the correct settings. 6.11 If both flags have fallen and it is impossible to establish which flag fell first then a. the game shall continue if it happens in any period of the game except the last period b. the game is drawn if it happens in the period of a game, in which all remaining moves must be completed. 6.12 a. If the game needs to be interrupted, the arbiter shall stop the clocks. b. A player may stop the clocks only in order to seek the arbiter’s assistance, for example when promotion has taken place and the piece required is not available. c. The arbiter shall decide when the game is to be restarted in either case. d. If a player stops the clocks in order to seek the arbiter’s assistance, the arbiter shall determine if the player had any valid reason for doing so. If it is obvious that the player had no valid reason for stopping the clocks, the player shall be penalised according to Article 13.4. 6.13 If an irregularity occurs and/or the pieces have to be restored to a previous position, the arbiter shall use his best judgement to determine the times to be shown on the clocks. He shall also, if necessary, adjust the clock’s move counter. 6.14 Screens, monitors, or demonstration boards showing the current position on the chessboard, the moves and the number of moves made, and clocks which also show the number of moves, are allowed in the playing hall. However, the player may not make a claim relying solely on information shown in this manner. Article 7 Irregularities 7.1 a. If during a game it is found that the initial position of the pieces was incorrect, the game shall be cancelled and a new game played. b. If during a game it is found that the chessboard has been placed contrary to Article 2.1, the game continues but the position reached must be transferred to a correctly placed chessboard. 7.2 If a game has begun with colours reversed then it shall continue, unless the arbiter rules otherwise. 7.3 If a player displaces one or more pieces, he shall re-establish the correct position on his own time. If necessary, either the player or his opponent shall stop the clocks and ask for the arbiter’s assistance. The arbiter may penalise the player who displaced the pieces. 7.4 a. If during a game it is found that an illegal move, including failing to meet the requirements of the promotion of a pawn or capturing the opponent’s king, has been completed, the position immediately before the irregularity shall be reinstated. If the position immediately before the irregularity cannot be determined the game shall continue from the last identifiable position prior to the irregularity. The clocks shall be adjusted according to Article 6.13. The Articles 4.3 and 4.6 apply to the move replacing the illegal move. The game shall then continue from this re-instated position. b. After the action taken under Article 7.4.a, for the first two illegal moves by a player the arbiter shall give two minutes extra time to his opponent in each instance; for a third illegal move by the same player, the arbiter shall declare the game lost by this player. However, the game is drawn if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves. 7.5 If during a game it is found that pieces have been displaced from their squares, the position before the irregularity shall be re-instated. If the position immediately before the irregularity cannot be determined, the game shall continue from the last identifiable position prior to the irregularity. The clocks shall be adjusted according to Article 6.13. The game shall then continue from this re-instated position. Article 8 The recording of the moves 8.1 In the course of play each player is required to record his own moves and those of his opponent in the correct manner, move after move, as clearly and legibily as possible, in the algebraic notation (See Appendix C), on the scoresheet prescribed for the competition. It is forbidden to write the moves in advance, unless the player is claiming a draw according to Article 9.2, or 9.3 or adjourning a game according to the Guidelines of Adjourned Games point 1.a. A player may reply to his opponent’s move before recording it, if he so wishes. He must record his previous move before making another. Both players must record the offer of a draw on the scoresheet. (See Appendix C.13) If a player is unable to keep score, an assistant, who must be acceptable to the arbiter, may be provided by the player to write the moves. His clock shall be adjusted by the arbiter in an equitable way. 8.2 The scoresheet shall be visible to the arbiter throughout the game. 8.3 The scoresheets are the property of the organisers of the event. 8.4 If a player has less than five minutes left on his clock at some stage in a period and does not have additional time of 30 seconds or more added with each move, then for the remainder of the period he is not obliged to meet the requirements of Article 8.1. Immediately after one flag has fallen the player must update his scoresheet completely before moving a piece on the chessboard. 8.5 a. If neither player is required to keep score under Article 8.4, the arbiter or an assistant should try to be present and keep score. In this case, immediately after one flag has fallen,the arbiter shall stop the clocks. Then both players shall update their scoresheets, using the arbiter’s or the opponent’s scoresheet. b. If only one player is not required to keep score under Article 8.4, he must, as soon as either flag has fallen, update his scoresheet completely before moving a piece on the chessboard. Provided it is the player’s move, he may use his opponent’s scoresheet, but must return it before making a move. c. If no complete scoresheet is available, the players must reconstruct the game on a second chessboard under the control of the arbiter or an assistant. He shall first record the actual game position, clock times and the number of moves made, if this information is available, before reconstruction takes place. 8.6 If the scoresheets cannot be brought up to date showing that a player has overstepped the allotted time, the next move made shall be considered as the first of the following time period, unless there is evidence that more moves have been made. 8.7 At the conclusion of the game both players shall sign both scoresheets, indicating the result of the game. Even if incorrect, this result shall stand, unless the arbiter decides otherwise. Article 9 The drawn game 9.1 a. The rules of a competition may specify that players cannot agree to a draw, whether in less than a specified number of moves or at all, without the consent of the arbiter. b. If the rules of a competition allow a draw agreement the following apply A player wishing to offer a draw shall do so after having made a move on the chessboard and before stopping his clock and starting the opponent’s clock. An offer at any other time during play is still valid but Article 12.6 must be considered. No conditions can be attached to the offer. In both cases the offer cannot be withdrawn and remains valid until the opponent accepts it, rejects it orally, rejects it by touching a piece with the intention of moving or capturing it, or the game is concluded in some other way. The offer of a draw shall be noted by each player on his scoresheet with a symbol. (See Appendix C.13) A claim of a draw under Article 9.2, 9.3 or 10.2 shall be considered to be an offer of a draw. 9.2 The game is drawn upon a correct claim by the player having the move, when the same position, for at least the third time (not necessarily by a repetition of moves) a. is about to appear, if he first writes his move on his scoresheet and declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move, or b. has just appeared, and the player claiming the draw has the move. Positions as in (a) and (b) areconsidered the same, if the same player has the move, pieces of the same kind and colour occupy the same squares, and the possible moves of all the pieces of both players are the same. Positions are not the same if a pawn that could have been captured en passant can no longer be captured in this manner. When a king or a rook is forced to move, it will lose its castling rights, if any, only after it is moved. 9.3 The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having the move, if a. he writes his move on his scoresheet and declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move, which shall result in thelast50 moves having been made by each player without the movement of any pawn and without any capture, or b. the last 50 consecutive moves have been made by each playerwithout the movement of any pawn and without any capture. 9.4 If the player touches a piece as in Article 4.3 without having claimed the draw he loses the right to claim, as in Article 9.2 or 9.3, on that move. 9.5 If a player claims a draw as in Article 9.2 or 9.3 he may stop both clocks. (See Article 6.12.b) He is not allowed to withdraw his claim. a. If the claim is found to be correct, the game is immediately drawn. b. If the claim is found to be incorrect, the arbiter shall add three minutes to the opponent’s remaining thinking time. Then the game shall continue. If the claim was based on an intended move, this move must be made as according to Article 4. 9.6 The game is drawn when a position is reached from which a checkmate cannot occur by any possible series of legal moves. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing this position was legal. Article 10 Quickplay Finish 10.1 A ‘quickplay finish’ is the phase of a game when all the (remaining) moves must be made in a limited time. 10.2 If the player, having the move, has less than two minutes left on his clock, he may claim a draw before his flag falls. He shall summon the arbiter and may stop the clocks. (See Article 6.12.b) a. If the arbiter agrees the opponent is making no effort to win the game by normal means, or that it is not possible to win by normal means, then he shall declare the game drawn. Otherwise he shall postpone his decision or reject the claim. b. If the arbiter postpones his decision, the opponent may be awarded two extra minutes and the game shall continue, if possible in the presence of an arbiter. The arbiter shall declare the final result later in the game or as soon as possible after a flag has fallen. He shall declare the game drawn if he agrees that the final position cannot be won by normal means, or that the opponent was not making sufficient attempts to win by normal means. c. If the arbiter has rejected the claim, the opponent shall be awarded two extra minutes time. d. The decision of the arbiter shall be final relating to (a), (b) and (c). Article 11 Points 11.1 Unless announced otherwise in advance, a player who wins his game, or wins by forfeit, scores one point (1), a player who loses his game, or forfeits scores no points (0) and a player who draws his game scores a half point (½). Article 12 The conduct of the players 12.1 The players shall take no action that will bring the game of chess into disrepute. 12.2 Players are not allowed to leave the ‘playing venue’ without permission from the arbiter. The playing venue is defined as the playing area, rest rooms, refreshment area, area set aside for smoking and other places as designated by the arbiter. The player having the move is not allowed to leave the playing area without permission of the arbiter. 12.3 a. During play the players are forbidden to make use of any notes, sources of information or advice, or analyse on another chessboard b. Without the permission of the arbiter a player is forbidden to have a mobile phone or other electronic means of communication in the playing venue, unless they are completely switched off. If any such device produces a sound, the player shall lose the game. The opponent shall win. However, if the opponent cannot win the game by any series of legal moves, his score shall be a draw. c. Smoking is permitted only in the section of the venue designated by the arbiter 12.4 The scoresheet shall be used only for recording the moves, the times of the clocks, the offers of a draw, and matters relating to a claim and other relevant data. 12.5 Players who have finished their games shall be considered to be spectators. 12.6 It is forbidden to distract or annoy the opponent in any manner whatsoever. This includes unreasonable claims, unreasonable offers of a draw or the introduction of a source of noise into the playing area. 12.7 Infraction of any part of Articles 12.1 to 12.6 shall lead to penalties in accordance with Article 13.4. 12.8 Persistent refusal by a player to comply with the Laws of Chess shall be penalised by loss of the game. The arbiter shall decide the score of the opponent. 12.9 If both players are found guilty according to Article 12.8, the game shall be declared lost by both players. 12.10 In the case of Article 10.2.d or Appendix D a player may not appeal against the decision of the arbiter. Otherwise a player may appeal against any decision of the arbiter, unless the rules of the competition specify otherwise. Article 13 The role of the Arbiter (See Preface) 13.1 The arbiter shall see that the Laws of Chess are strictly observed. 13.2 The arbiter shall act in the best interest of the competition. He should ensure that a good playing environment is maintained and that the players are not disturbed. He shall supervise the progress of the competition. 13.3 The arbiter shall observe the games, especially when the players are short of time, enforce decisions he has made and impose penalties on players where appropriate. 13.4 The arbiter can apply one or more of the following penalties a. warning b. increasing the remaining time of the opponent c. reducing the remaining time of the offending player d. declaring the game to be lost e. reducing the points scored in the game by the offending party f. increasing the points scored in the game by the opponent to the maximum available for that game g. expulsion from the event. 13.5 The arbiter may award either or both players additional time in the event of external disturbance of the game. 13.6 The arbiter must not intervene in a game except in cases described by the Laws of Chess. He shall not indicate the number of moves made, except in applying Article 8.5, when at least one flag has fallen. The arbiter shall refrain from informing a player that his opponent has completed a move or that the player has not pressed his clock. 13.7 a. Spectators and players in other games are not to speak about or otherwise interfere in a game. If necessary, the arbiter may expel offenders from the playing venue. If someone observes an irregularity, he may inform only the arbiter. b. Unless authorised by the arbiter, it is forbidden for anybody to use a mobile phone or any kind of communication device in the playing venue and any contiguous area designated by the arbiter.

Top US, China officials appeal for closer ties Top US and Chinese officials have appealed for closer ties. President Barack Obama did so by quoting a Chinese philosopher, while China s top diplomat said "yes, we can," borrowing Obama s signature phrase. The officials were attending a ceremony in Washington on Monday to mark the start of the first meeting of the US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue. In his speech, President Obama quoted the ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius who said that "a trail through the mountains, if used, becomes a path in a short time, but, if unused, becomes blocked by grass in an equally short time." Obama said the United States and China face the task of forging a path to the future that they seek for their children. In response, China s State Councilor, Dai Bingguo, noted that the 2 countries have different social systems, histories, cultures and traditions. He asked whether better relations are possible despite the differences, and then replied, in English, "Yes, we can." He drew a big applause. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also appealed for close ties by referring to the words of the Chinese philosopher Confucius. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner cited a proverb in Chinese. President Obama launched the Strategic and Economic Dialogue by expanding a forum started by the Bush administration that focused on economic talks. The inaugural talks will last for 2 days.

The German Counter-Proposals The German counter-proposals were somewhat obscure, and also rather disingenuous. It will be remembered that those clauses of the Reparation Chapter which dealt with the issue of bonds by Germany produced on the public mind the impression that the Indemnity had been fixed at $25,000,000,000, or at any rate at this figure as a minimum. The German Delegation set out, therefore, to construct their reply on the basis of this figure, assuming apparently that public opinion in Allied countries would not be satisfied with less than the appearance of $25,000,000,000; and, as they were not really prepared to offer so large a figure, they exercised their ingenuity to produce a formula which might be represented to Allied opinion as yielding this amount, whilst really representing a much more modest sum. The formula produced was transparent to any one who read it carefully and knew the facts, and it could hardly have been expected by its authors to deceive the Allied negotiators. The German tactic assumed, therefore, that the latter were secretly as anxious as the Germans themselves to arrive at a settlement which bore some relation to the facts, and that they would therefore be willing, in view of the entanglements which they had got themselves into with their own publics, to practise a little collusion in drafting the Treaty,—a supposition which in slightly different circumstances might have had a good deal of foundation. As matters actually were, this subtlety did not benefit them, and they would have done much better with a straightforward and candid estimate of what they believed to be the amount of their liabilities on the one hand, and their capacity to pay on the other. The German offer of an alleged sum of $25,000,000,000 amounted to the following. In the first place it was conditional on concessions in the Treaty insuring that "Germany shall retain the territorial integrity corresponding to the Armistice Convention,[140] that she shall keep her colonial possessions and merchant ships, including those of large tonnage, that in her own country and in the world at large she shall enjoy the same freedom of action as all other peoples, that all war legislation shall be at once annulled, and that all interferences during the war with her economic rights and with German private property, etc., shall be treated in accordance with the principle of reciprocity";—that is to say, the offer is conditional on the greater part of the rest of the Treaty being abandoned. In the second place, the claims are not to exceed a maximum of $25,000,000,000, of which $5,000,000,000 is to be discharged by May 1, 1926; and no part of this sum is to carry interest pending the payment of it.[141] In the third place, there are to be allowed as credit against it (amongst other things) (a) the value of all deliveries under the Armistice, including military material (e.g. Germany s navy); (b) the value of all railways and State property in ceded territory; (c) the pro rata share of all ceded territory in the German public debt (including the war debt) and in the Reparation payments which this territory would have had to bear if it had remained part of Germany; and (d) the value of the cession of Germany s claims for sums lent by her to her allies in the war.[142] The credits to be deducted under (a), (b), (c), and (d) might be in excess of those allowed in the actual Treaty, according to a rough estimate, by a sum of as much as $10,000,000,000, although the sum to be allowed under (d) can hardly be calculated. If, therefore, we are to estimate the real value of the German offer of $25,000,000,000 on the basis laid down by the Treaty, we must first of all deduct $10,000,000,000 claimed for offsets which the Treaty does not allow, and then halve the remainder in order to obtain the present value of a deferred payment on which interest is not chargeable. This reduces the offer to $7,500,000,000, as compared with the $40,000,000,000 which, according to my rough estimate, the Treaty demands of her. This in itself was a very substantial offer—indeed it evoked widespread criticism in Germany—though, in view of the fact that it was conditional on the abandonment of the greater part of the rest of the Treaty, it could hardly be regarded as a serious one.[143] But the German Delegation would have done better if they had stated in less equivocal language how far they felt able to go. In the final reply of the Allies to this counter-proposal there is one important provision, which I have not attended to hitherto, but which can be conveniently dealt with in this place. Broadly speaking, no concessions were entertained on the Reparation Chapter as it was originally drafted, but the Allies recognized the inconvenience of the indeterminacy of the burden laid upon Germany and proposed a method by which the final total of claim might be established at an earlier date than May 1, 1921. They promised, therefore, that at any time within four months of the signature of the Treaty (that is to say, up to the end of October, 1919), Germany should be at liberty to submit an offer of a lump sum in settlement of her whole liability as defined in the Treaty, and within two months thereafter (that is to say, before the end of 1919) the Allies "will, so far as may be possible, return their answers to any proposals that may be made." This offer is subject to three conditions. "Firstly, the German authorities will be expected, before making such proposals, to confer with the representatives of the Powers directly concerned. Secondly, such offers must be unambiguous and must be precise and clear. Thirdly, they must accept the categories and the Reparation clauses as matters settled beyond discussion." The offer, as made, does not appear to contemplate any opening up of the problem of Germany s capacity to pay. It is only concerned with the establishment of the total bill of claims as defined in the Treaty—whether (e.g.) it is $35,000,000,000, $40,000,000,000, or $50,000,000,000. "The questions," the Allies reply adds, "are bare questions of fact, namely, the amount of the liabilities, and they are susceptible of being treated in this way." If the promised negotiations are really conducted on these lines, they are not likely to be fruitful. It will not be much easier to arrive at an agreed figure before the end of 1919 that it was at the time of the Conference; and it will not help Germany s financial position to know for certain that she is liable for the huge sum which on any computation the Treaty liabilities must amount to. These negotiations do offer, however, an opportunity of reopening the whole question of the Reparation payments, although it is hardly to be hoped that at so very early a date, public opinion in the countries of the Allies has changed its mood sufficiently.[144] I cannot leave this subject as though its just treatment wholly depended either on our own pledges or on economic facts. The policy of reducing Germany to servitude for a generation, of degrading the lives of millions of human beings, and of depriving a whole nation of happiness should be abhorrent and detestable,—abhorrent and detestable, even if it were possible, even if it enriched ourselves, even if it did not sow the decay of the whole civilized life of Europe. Some preach it in the name of Justice. In the great events of man s history, in the unwinding of the complex fates of nations Justice is not so simple. And if it were, nations are not authorized, by religion or by natural morals, to visit on the children of their enemies the misdoings of parents or of rulers. FOOTNOTES [76] "With reservation that any future claims and demands of the Allies and the United States of America remain unaffected, the following financial conditions are required Reparation for damage done. Whilst Armistice lasts, no public securities shall be removed by the enemy which can serve as a pledge to the Allies for recovery or reparation of war losses. Immediate restitution of cash deposit in National Bank of Belgium, and, in general, immediate return of all documents, of specie, stock, shares, paper money, together with plant for issue thereof, touching public or private interests in invaded countries. Restitution of Russian and Roumanian gold yielded to Germany or taken by that Power. This gold to be delivered in trust to the Allies until signature of peace." [77] It is to be noticed, in passing, that they contain nothing which limits the damage to damage inflicted contrary to the recognized rules of warfare. That is to say, it is permissible to include claims arising out of the legitimate capture of a merchantman at sea, as well as the costs of illegal submarine warfare. [78] Mark-paper or mark-credits owned in ex-occupied territory by Allied nationals should be included, if at all, in the settlement of enemy debts, along with other sums owed to Allied nationals, and not in connection with reparation. [79] A special claim on behalf of Belgium was actually included In the Peace Treaty, and was accepted by the German representatives without demur. [80] To the British observer, one scene, however, stood out distinguished from the rest—the field of Ypres. In that desolate and ghostly spot, the natural color and humors of the landscape and the climate seemed designed to express to the traveler the memories of the ground. A visitor to the salient early in November, 1918, when a few German bodies still added a touch of realism and human horror, and the great struggle was not yet certainly ended, could feel there, as nowhere else, the present outrage of war, and at the same time the tragic and sentimental purification which to the future will in some degree transform its harshness. [81] These notes, estimated to amount to no less than six thousand million marks, are now a source of embarrassment and great potential loss to the Belgian Government, inasmuch as on their recovery of the country they took them over from their nationals in exchange for Belgian notes at the rate of Fr. 120 = Mk. 1. This rate of exchange, being substantially in excess of the value of the mark-notes at the rate of exchange current at the time (and enormously in excess of the rate to which the mark notes have since fallen, the Belgian franc being now worth more than three marks), was the occasion of the smuggling of mark-notes into Belgium on an enormous scale, to take advantage of the profit obtainable. The Belgian Government took this very imprudent step, partly because they hoped to persuade the Peace Conference to make the redemption of these bank-notes, at the par of exchange, a first charge on German assets. The Peace Conference held, however, that Reparation proper must take precedence of the adjustment of improvident banking transactions effected at an excessive rate of exchange. The possession by the Belgian Government of this great mass of German currency, in addition to an amount of nearly two thousand million marks held by the French Government which they similarly exchanged for the benefit of the population of the invaded areas and of Alsace-Lorraine, is a serious aggravation of the exchange position of the mark. It will certainly be desirable for the Belgian and German Governments to come to some arrangement as to its disposal, though this is rendered difficult by the prior lien held by the Reparation Commission over all German assets available for such purposes. [82] It should be added, in fairness, that the very high claims put forward on behalf of Belgium generally include not only devastation proper, but all kinds of other items, as, for example, the profits and earnings which Belgians might reasonably have expected to earn if there had been no war. [83] "The Wealth and Income of the Chief Powers," by J.C. Stamp (Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, July, 1919). [84] Other estimates vary from $12,100,000,000 to $13,400,000,000. See Stamp, loc. cit. [85] This was clearly and courageously pointed out by M. Charles Gide in L Emancipation for February, 1919. [86] For details of these and other figures, see Stamp, loc. cit. [87] Even when the extent of the material damage has been established, it will be exceedingly difficult to put a price on it, which must largely depend on the period over which restoration is spread, and the methods adopted. It would be impossible to make the damage good in a year or two at any price, and an attempt to do so at a rate which was excessive in relation to the amount of labor and materials at hand might force prices up to almost any level. We must, I think, assume a cost of labor and materials about equal to that current in the world generally. In point of fact, however, we may safely assume that literal restoration will never be attempted. Indeed, it would be very wasteful to do so. Many of the townships were old and unhealthy, and many of the hamlets miserable. To re-erect the same type of building in the same places would be foolish. As for the land, the wise course may be in some cases to leave long strips of it to Nature for many years to come. An aggregate money sum should be computed as fairly representing the value of the material damage, and France should be left to expend it in the manner she thinks wisest with a view to her economic enrichment as a whole. The first breeze of this controversy has already blown through France. A long and inconclusive debate occupied the Chamber during the spring of 1919, as to whether inhabitants of the devastated area receiving compensation should be compelled to expend it in restoring the identical property, or whether they should be free to use it as they like. There was evidently a great deal to be said on both sides; in the former case there would be much hardship and uncertainty for owners who could not, many of them, expect to recover the effective use of their property perhaps for years to come, and yet would not be free to set themselves up elsewhere; on the other hand, if such persons were allowed to take their compensation and go elsewhere, the countryside of Northern France would never be put right. Nevertheless I believe that the wise course will be to allow great latitude and let economic motives take their own course. [88] La Richesse de la France devant la Guerre, published in 1916. [89] Revue Bleue, February 3, 1919. This is quoted in a very valuable selection of French estimates and expressions of opinion, forming chapter iv. of La Liquidation financière de la Guerre, by H. Charriaut and R. Hacault. The general magnitude of my estimate is further confirmed by the extent of the repairs already effected, as set forth in a speech delivered by M. Tardieu on October 10, 1919, in which he said "On September 16 last, of 2246 kilomètres of railway track destroyed, 2016 had been repaired; of 1075 kilomètres of canal, 700; of 1160 constructions, such as bridges and tunnels, which had been blown up, 588 had been replaced; of 550,000 houses ruined by bombardment, 60,000 had been rebuilt; and of 1,800,000 hectares of ground rendered useless by battle, 400,000 had been recultivated, 200,000 hectares of which are now ready to be sown. Finally, more than 10,000,000 mètres of barbed wire had been removed." [90] Some of these estimates include allowance for contingent and immaterial damage as well as for direct material injury. [91] A substantial part of this was lost in the service of the Allies; this must not be duplicated by inclusion both in their claims and in ours. [92] The fact that no separate allowance is made in the above for the sinking of 675 fishing vessels of 71,765 tons gross, or for the 1855 vessels of 8,007,967 tons damaged or molested, but not sunk, may be set off against what may be an excessive figure for replacement cost. [93] The losses of the Greek mercantile marine were excessively high, as a result of the dangers of the Mediterranean; but they were largely incurred on the service of the other Allies, who paid for them directly or indirectly. The claims of Greece for maritime losses incurred on the service of her own nationals would not be very considerable. [94] There is a reservation in the Peace Treaty on this question. "The Allied and Associated Powers formally reserve the right of Russia to obtain from Germany restitution and reparation based on the principles of the present Treaty" (Art. 116). [95] Dr. Diouritch in his "Economic and Statistical Survey of the Southern Slav Nations" (Journal of Royal Statistical Society, May, 1919), quotes some extraordinary figures of the loss of life "According to the official returns, the number of those fallen in battle or died in captivity up to the last Serbian offensive, amounted to 320,000, which means that one half of Serbia s male population, from 18 to 60 years of age, perished outright in the European War. In addition, the Serbian Medical Authorities estimate that about 300,000 people have died from typhus among the civil population, and the losses among the population interned in enemy camps are estimated at 50,000. During the two Serbian retreats and during the Albanian retreat the losses among children and young people are estimated at 200,000. Lastly, during over three years of enemy occupation, the losses in lives owing to the lack of proper food and medical attention are estimated at 250,000." Altogether, he puts the losses in life at above 1,000,000, or more than one-third of the population of Old Serbia. [96] Come si calcola e a quanto ammonta la richezza d Italia e delle altre principali nazioni, published in 1919. [97] Very large claims put forward by the Serbian authorities include many hypothetical items of indirect and non-material damage; but these, however real, are not admissible under our present formula. [98] Assuming that in her case $1,250,000,000 are included for the general expenses of the war defrayed out of loans made to Belgium by her allies. [99] It must be said to Mr. Hughes honor that he apprehended from the first the bearing of the pre-Armistice negotiations on our right to demand an indemnity covering the full costs of the war, protested against our ever having entered into such engagements, and maintained loudly that he had been no party to them and could not consider himself bound by them. His indignation may have been partly due to the fact that Australia, not having been ravaged, would have no claims at all under the more limited interpretation of our rights. [100] The whole cost of the war has been estimated at from $120,000,000,000 upwards. This would mean an annual payment for interest (apart from sinking fund) of $6,000,000,000. Could any expert Committee have reported that Germany can pay this sum? [101] But unhappily they did not go down with their flags flying very gloriously. For one reason or another their leaders maintained substantial silence. What a different position in the country s estimation they might hold now if they had suffered defeat amidst firm protests against the fraud, chicane, and dishonor of the whole proceedings. [102] Only after the most painful consideration have I written these words. The almost complete absence of protest from the leading Statesmen of England makes one feel that one must have made some mistake. But I believe that I know all the facts, and I can discover no such mistake. In any case I have set forth all the relevant engagements in Chapter IV. and at the beginning of this chapter, so that the reader can form his own judgment. [103] In conversation with Frenchmen who were private persons and quite unaffected by political considerations, this aspect became very clear. You might persuade them that some current estimates as to the amount to be got out of Germany were quite fantastic. Yet at the end they would always come back to where they had started "But Germany must pay; for, otherwise, what is to happen to France?" [104] A further paragraph claims the war costs of Belgium "in accordance with Germany s pledges, already given, as to complete restoration for Belgium." [105] The challenge of the other Allies, as well as the enemy, had to be met; for in view of the limited resources of the latter, the other Allies had perhaps a greater interest than the enemy in seeing that no one of their number established an excessive claim. [106] M. Klotz has estimated the French claims on this head at $15,000,000,000 (75 milliard francs, made up of 13 milliard for allowances, 60 for pensions, and 2 for widows). If this figure is correct, the others should probably be scaled up also. [107] That is to say, I claim for the aggregate figure an accuracy within 25 per cent. [108] In his speech of September 5, 1919, addressed to the French Chamber, M. Klotz estimated the total Allied claims against Germany under the Treaty at $75,000,000,000, which would accumulate at interest until 1921, and be paid off thereafter by 34 annual installments of about $5,000,000,000 each, of which France would receive about $2,750,000,000 annually. "The general effect of the statement (that France would receive from Germany this annual payment) proved," it is reported, "appreciably encouraging to the country as a whole, and was immediately reflected in the improved tone on the Bourse and throughout the business world in France." So long as such statements can be accepted in Paris without protest, there can be no financial or economic future for France, and a catastrophe of disillusion is not far distant. [109] As a matter of subjective judgment, I estimate for this figure an accuracy of 10 per cent in deficiency and 20 per cent in excess, i.e. that the result will lie between $32,000,000,000 and $44,000,000,000. [110] Germany is also liable under the Treaty, as an addition to her liabilities for Reparation, to pay all the costs of the Armies of Occupation after Peace is signed for the fifteen subsequent years of occupation. So far as the text of the Treaty goes, there is nothing to limit the size of these armies, and France could, therefore, by quartering the whole of her normal standing army in the occupied area, shift the charge from her own taxpayers to those of Germany,—though in reality any such policy would be at the expense not of Germany, who by hypothesis is already paying for Reparation up to the full limit of her capacity, but of France s Allies, who would receive so much less in respect of Reparation. A White Paper (Cmd. 240) has, however, been issued, in which is published a declaration by the Governments of the United States, Great Britain, and France engaging themselves to limit the sum payable annually by Germany to cover the cost of occupation to $60,000,000 "as soon as the Allied and Associated Powers concerned are convinced that the conditions of disarmament by Germany are being satisfactorily fulfilled." The word which I have italicized is a little significant. The three Powers reserve to themselves the liberty to modify this arrangement at any time if they agree that it is necessary. [111] Art. 235. The force of this Article is somewhat strengthened by Article 251, by virtue of which dispensations may also be granted for "other payments" as well as for food and raw material. [112] This is the effect of Para. 12 (c) of Annex II. of the Reparation Chapter, leaving minor complications on one side. The Treaty fixes the payments in terms of gold marks, which are converted in the above rate of 20 to $5. [113] If, per impossibile, Germany discharged $2,500,000,000 in cash or kind by 1921, her annual payments would be at the rate of $312,500,000 from 1921 to 1925 and of $750,000,000 thereafter. [114] Para. 16 of Annex II. of The Reparation Chapter. There is also an obscure provision by which interest may be charged "on sums arising out of material damage as from November 11, 1918, up to May 1, 1921." This seems to differentiate damage to property from damage to the person in favor of the former. It does not affect Pensions and Allowances, the cost of which is capitalized as at the date of the coming into force of the Treaty. [115] On the assumption which no one supports and even the most optimistic fear to be unplausible, that Germany can pay the full charge for interest and sinking fund from the outset, the annual payment would amount to $2,400,000,000. [116] Under Para. 13 of Annex II. unanimity is required (i.) for any postponement beyond 1930 of installments due between 1921 and 1926, and (ii.) for any postponement for more than three years of instalments due after 1926. Further, under Art. 234, the Commission may not cancel any part of the indebtedness without the specific authority of all the Governments represented on the Commission. [117] On July 23, 1914, the amount was $339,000,000. [118] Owing to the very high premium which exists on German silver coin, as the combined result of the depreciation of the mark and the appreciation of silver, it is highly improbable that it will be possible to extract such coin out of the pockets of the people. But it may gradually leak over the frontier by the agency of private speculators, and thus indirectly benefit the German exchange position as a whole. [119] The Allies made the supply of foodstuffs to Germany during the Armistice, mentioned above, conditional on the provisional transfer to them of the greater part of the Mercantile Marine, to be operated by them for the purpose of shipping foodstuffs to Europe generally, and to Germany in particular. The reluctance of the Germans to agree to this was productive of long and dangerous delays in the supply of food, but the abortive Conferences of Trèves and Spa (January 16, February 14-16, and March 4-5, 1919) were at last followed by the Agreement of Brussels (March 14, 1919). The unwillingness of the Germans to conclude was mainly due to the lack of any absolute guarantee on the part of the Allies that, if they surrendered the ships, they would get the food. But assuming reasonable good faith on the part of the latter (their behavior in respect of certain other clauses of the Armistice, however, had not been impeccable and gave the enemy some just grounds for suspicion), their demand was not an improper one; for without the German ships the business of transporting the food would have been difficult, if not impossible, and the German ships surrendered or their equivalent were in fact almost wholly employed in transporting food to Germany itself. Up to June 30, 1919, 176 German ships of 1,025,388 gross tonnage had been surrendered, to the Allies in accordance with the Brussels Agreement. [120] The amount of tonnage transferred may be rather greater and the value per ton rather less. The aggregate value involved is not likely, however, to be less than $500,000,000 or greater than $750,000,000. [121] This census was carried out by virtue of a Decree of August 23, 1918. On March 22, 1917, the German Government acquired complete control over the utilization of foreign securities in German possession; and in May, 1917, it began to exercise these powers for the mobilization of certain Swedish, Danish, and Swiss securities.

[123] I have made no deduction for securities in the ownership of Alsace-Lorrainers and others who have now ceased to be German nationals. [124] In all these estimates, I am conscious of being driven by a fear of overstating the case against the Treaty, of giving figures in excess of my own real judgment. There is a great difference between putting down on paper fancy estimates of Germany s resources and actually extracting contributions in the form of cash. I do not myself believe that the Reparation Commission will secure real resources from the above items by May, 1921, even as great as the lower of the two figures given above. [125] The Treaty (see Art. 114) leaves it very dubious how far the Danish Government is under an obligation to make payments to the Reparation Commission in respect of its acquisition of Schleswig. They might, for instance, arrange for various offsets such as the value of the mark notes held by the inhabitants of ceded areas. In any case the amount of money involved is quite small. The Danish Government is raising a loan for $33,000,000 (kr. 120,000,000) for the joint purposes of "taking over Schleswig s share of the German debt, for buying German public property, for helping the Schleswig population, and for settling the currency question." [126] Here again my own judgment would carry me much further and I should doubt the possibility of Germany s exports equaling her imports during this period. But the statement in the text goes far enough for the purpose of my argument. [127] It has been estimated that the cession of territory to France, apart from the loss of Upper Silesia, may reduce Germany s annual pre-war production of steel ingots from 20,000,000 tons to 14,000,000 tons, and increase France s capacity from 5,000,000 tons to 11,000,000 tons. [128] Germany s exports of sugar in 1913 amounted to 1,110,073 tons of the value of $65,471,500, of which 838,583 tons were exported to the United Kingdom at a value of $45,254,000. These figures were in excess of the normal, the average total exports for the five years ending 1913 being about $50,000,000. [129] The necessary price adjustment, which is required, on both sides of this account, will be made en bloc later. [130] If the amount of the sinking fund be reduced, and the annual payment is continued over a greater number of years, the present value—so powerful is the operation of compound interest—cannot be materially increased. A payment of $500,000,000 annually in perpetuity, assuming interest, as before, at 5 per cent, would only raise the present value to $10,000,000,000. [131] As an example of public misapprehension on economic affairs, the following letter from Sir Sidney Low to The Times of the 3rd December, 1918, deserves quotation "I have seen authoritative estimates which place the gross value of Germany s mineral and chemical resources as high as $1,250,000,000,000 or even more; and the Ruhr basin mines alone are said to be worth over $225,000,000,000. It is certain, at any rate, that the capital value of these natural supplies is much greater than the total war debts of all the Allied States. Why should not some portion of this wealth be diverted for a sufficient period from its present owners and assigned to the peoples whom Germany has assailed, deported, and injured? The Allied Governments might justly require Germany to surrender to them the use of such of her mines, and mineral deposits as would yield, say, from $500,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 annually for the next 30, 40, or 50 years. By this means we could obtain sufficient compensation from Germany without unduly stimulating her manufactures and export trade to our detriment." It is not clear why, if Germany has wealth exceeding $1,250,000,000,000. Sir Sidney Low is content with the trifling sum of $500,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 annually. But his letter is an admirable reductio ad absurdum of a certain line of thought. While a mode of calculation, which estimates the value of coal miles deep in the bowels of the earth as high as in a coal scuttle, of an annual lease of $5000 for 999 years at $4,995,000 and of a field (presumably) at the value of all the crops it will grow to the end of recorded time, opens up great possibilities, it is also double-edged. If Germany s total resources are worth $1,250,000,000,000, those she will part with in the cession of Alsace-Lorraine and Upper Silesia should be more than sufficient to pay the entire costs of the war and reparation together. In point of fact, the present market value of all the mines in Germany of every kind has been estimated at $1,500,000,000, or a little more than one-thousandth part of Sir Sidney Low s expectations. [132] The conversion at par of 5,000 million marks overstates, by reason of the existing depreciation of the mark, the present money burden of the actual pensions payments, but not, in all probability, the real loss of national productivity as a result of the casualties suffered in the war. [133] It cannot be overlooked, in passing, that in its results on a country s surplus productivity a lowering of the standard of life acts both ways. Moreover, we are without experience of the psychology of a white race under conditions little short of servitude. It is, however, generally supposed that if the whole of a man s surplus production is taken from him, his efficiency and his industry are diminished, The entrepreneur and the inventor will not contrive, the trader and the shopkeeper will not save, the laborer will not toil, if the fruits of their industry are set aside, not for the benefit of their children, their old age, their pride, or their position, but for the enjoyment of a foreign conqueror. [134] In the course of the compromises and delays of the Conference, there were many questions on which, in order to reach any conclusion at all, it was necessary to leave a margin of vagueness and uncertainty. The whole method of the Conference tended towards this,—the Council of Four wanted, not so much a settlement, as a treaty. On political and territorial questions the tendency was to leave the final arbitrament to the League of Nations. But on financial and economic questions, the final decision has generally be a left with the Reparation Commission,—in spite of its being an executive body composed of interested parties. [135] The sum to be paid by Austria for Reparation is left to the absolute discretion of the Reparation Commission, no determinate figure of any kind being mentioned in the text of the Treaty Austrian questions are to be handled by a special section of the Reparation Commission, but the section will have no powers except such as the main Commission may delegate. [136] Bulgaria is to pay an indemnity of $450,000,000 by half-yearly instalments, beginning July 1, 1920. These sums will be collected, on behalf of the Reparation Commission, by an Inter-Ally Commission of Control, with its seat at Sofia. In some respects the Bulgarian Inter-Ally Commission appears to have powers and authority independent of the Reparation Commission, but it is to act, nevertheless, as the agent of the latter, and is authorized to tender advice to the Reparation Commission as to, for example, the reduction of the half-yearly instalments. [137] Under the Treaty this is the function of any body appointed for the purpose by the principal Allied and Associated Governments, and not necessarily of the Reparation Commission. But it may be presumed that no second body will be established for this special purpose. [138] At the date of writing no treaties with these countries have been drafted. It is possible that Turkey might be dealt with by a separate Commission. [139] This appears to me to be in effect the position (if this paragraph means anything at all), in spite of the following disclaimer of such intentions in the Allies reply —"Nor does Paragraph 12(b) of Annex II. give the Commission powers to prescribe or enforce taxes or to dictate the character of the German budget." [140] Whatever that may mean. [141] Assuming that the capital sum is discharged evenly over a period as short as thirty-three years, this has the effect of halving the burden as compared with the payments required on the basis of 5 per cent interest on the outstanding capital. [142] I forbear to outline the further details of the German offer as the above are the essential points. [143] For this reason it is not strictly comparable with my estimate of Germany s capacity in an earlier section of this chapter, which estimate is on the basis of Germany s condition as it will be when the rest of the Treaty has come into effect. [144] Owing to delays on the part of the Allies in ratifying the Treaty, the Reparation Commission had not yet been formally constituted by the end of October, 1919. So far as I am aware, therefore, nothing has been done to make the above offer effective. But, perhaps in view of the circumstances, there has been an extension of the date.

Territory Resources All maps in Company of Heroes have Territory Sectors that supply resources and Capture Points that allow players to capture the various Sectors. The starting_position that you place will generate it s own territory, you won t need to worry about that. What you ll need to do now is place munition, fuel, and strategic points on the map. The locations are up to your creativity, but it is advised to spread them out and think of strategic locations that will create points of interest on the map. Company of Heroes の全ての地図は、プレーヤーがいろいろなSectorsを捕えるのを許す資源とCapture Pointsを供給するTerritory Sectorsを持ちます。あなたが場所でそれを生み出すstarting_positionは自身の領域ですと、あなたがそれについて心配する必要はありません。あなたが現在する必要があることは、軍用品、燃料と重要な点を地図に置くことです。場所はあなたの創造力をしています、しかし、それは彼らを分散させて、地図の上で興味のある地点をつくる要衝について考えるように助言されます。 To have a steady resource pace, follow the detailed guidelines as to how many munition and fuel points should be placed on the map. 安定した資源ペースを持つために、どれくらいの軍需および燃料点が地図に置かれなければならないかについて、詳細なガイドラインに従ってください。 Total fuel should be between 35-45 Total munition should be between 70-80 For more information and adjustment to the official maps look here. 全燃料が、35-45の間になければなりません。 全体の軍用品が、70-80の間になければなりません。 詳細な情報と公式地図の調整のために、ここで見てください。 Explanation on Territory IMPORTANT!! 重要!! To Edit/View territory in the WorldBuilder, for the time being, you ll need to add "-dev" to the command line (of WorldBuilder) To do so, follow these four steps WorldBuilderのEdit/View領域に、しばらくの間、あなたは「-dev」をコマンドライン（WorldBuilderの）に加える必要があります。そうするために、これらの4つのステップに従ってください： 1 Make a shortcut of Worldbuilder.exe and add "-dev" at the end of the path (do this by going into "properties"). Makeは、経路（「特性」に入ることによってこうします）の終わりの「Worldbuilder.exe」と追加「DEV」の近道です。 Worldbuilder.exeへのショートカットを作成しプロパティのリンク先に"-dev"を付け加えます。 2 Start worldbuilder with the new shortcut and click on "overlay" - "show territory". worldbuilderを新しいショートカットで始めて"overlay" - "show territory"をクリック。 3 If this doesn’t immediately show the sectors, click on "overlay" - "Draw Overlay Map" - "Draw Sector Map". これがセクターをすぐに示さないならば、"overlay" - "Draw Overlay Map" - "Draw Sector Map"をクリック。 4 You should see dozens of random colors. Now, simply click on the "TER" button and then on the map. あなたは、何十ものランダムな色を見なければなりません。すぐに、単に「TER」ボタンの上で、それから、地図の上でクリックしてください。 You should see the sectors as colored zones "painted" on the map. Good Luck! あなたは、色のついた地帯としての扇形が地図に「描かれる」のを見なければなりません。幸運を祈ります！ To view the territories, make sure that you ve enabled the overlay using Overlay Toggle Overlay or CTRL+F5. When the overlay is enabled, switch to the territory sectors by clicking Overlay Territory Sectors. 領域を見るために、あなたがOverlay Toggle OverlayまたはCTRL+F5を使っているオーバレイを可能にしたことを確認してください。オーバレイが可能にされるとき、Overlay Territory Sectorsをクリックすることによって、領域セクターに変わってください。 Once strategic points have been placed, territory must be generated. To do so, click on the "TER" button along the top of the command bar to switch to Territory Edit mode. Clicking on "Calculate Voronoi" will generate default territory under each strategic point (denoted by various colours under each point). 一旦重要な点が置かれるならば、領域は発生しなければなりません。そうするために、Territory Editモードに変わるために、命令バーの最上部に沿って、「TER」ボタンをクリックしてください。クリックすることは「Voronoiを計算します」。そして、意志は各々の重要な点（各々の点の下でいろいろな色によって意味される）の下でデフォルト領域を生み出します。 Once the territory has been generated, you can begin editing the territory sectors by painting more or less territory. To sample a specific sector in order to edit it, hold down CTRL and Left-Click on the desired sector or Strategic Point controlling the sector. 一旦領域が発生するならば、あなたはだいたい領域を『塗る』ことによって領域セクターを編集し始めることができます。それを編集するために、特定のセクターを試してみるために、セクターを制御している望ましいセクターまたはStrategic Pointの上でCTRLと左翼-Clickを続けてください。 A line will appear connecting the cursor to the strategic point, at which point territory can be painted just like textures. Null Territory (paintable via the Null Territory Button under the TERR section) is used for areas of the map in which you do not want to allow players any control over. This is generally used for large bodies of impassable water, cliffs, or forests to create territory chokepoints, however it can also be utilized for dead zones or no-man s land . Territory must be connected by at least 1m (one square) in order to hook up in supply. 線はカーソルを重要な点に接続して現れます。その位置では、領域はまるでテクスチャーのように塗られることができます。無効なTerritory（TERR部の下のNull Territory Buttonを通してpaintableな）が、あなたがもう一度いかなる支配もプレーヤーに与えたくない地図の領域のために使われます。これが通常、通れない水、崖または森の大きな体が領域難所をつくるために使われます、しかし、それは『デッドゾーン』または『中間地帯』のために利用されることもできます。領域は、供給において組むために、少なくとも1m（1つの正方形）つながれなければなりません。 Additional territory sectors can be added easily without re-calculating the entire map by clicking on Add Territory under new points . This will generate a new, small sector of territory under any recently-added points. Alternatively, if you delete a strategic point; clicking "Convert empty territory to null" will remove any territory which is not connected to a strategic point. セクターがありえるさらなる領域は、簡単に、再計算することなく、クリックすることによる全ての地図が『新しい点の下にTerritoryを加えます』と付け加えました。これは、どんな最近それ以上の点の下ででも領域の新しい、小さな地域を生み出します。代わりとして、あなたならば、重要な点を削除してください;クリックすることは「空の領域をヌルに変えます」。そして、意志は重要な点に接続していないどんな領域でも取り除きます。 Territory Placement Where and what each strategic point s territory controls is completely up to you, but in order to prevent confusion amongst players, territory should try to be logical where possible while still being interesting. A good example is a road running down between two farms; while you can place a Strategic Point in each farm and have them join up anywhere, this may not make sense logically to the player. Instead, try having the two sectors meet up at the road, this visually shows the player that he has taken a farm, not a farm, a road, and about 20 meters of the other farm. どこで、そして、各々の重要な点の領域がコントロールするものは、完全に次第です、しかし、プレーヤーの間に混乱を防ぐために、領域は論理的にしようとしなければなりません‖どこで‖まだ面白い間あり得る。良い例は、2つの農場の間で下降している道です;あなたが各々の農場にStrategic Pointを置くことができて、彼らにどこにも入隊させることができる間、これは論理的にプレーヤーに意味をなさないかもしれません。その代わりに、2つのセクターに道で会わせてみてください — これが視覚的に、彼が農場に持っていったプレーヤーに明らかにする — 他の農場でない、道とおよそ20メートルは耕作します。 Another good practice of territory painting is to include cut-off sectors. These generally connect large chunks of resource-producing sectors to other resource-producing sectors through use of a no_resource_point (Or a null point ). The no_resource_point can be found under ebps\gameplay, and while it generates no resources, it does present opportunities to add additional levels of strategy to your map. Taking the above example, think about putting the null point along the road and having its territory seperate the two farms. With careful placement and useage of these points, you can offer players a way to cut off their enemies from crucial resources without having to launch a full-out assault on his fortified munitions or fuel points. 領域絵のもう一つの良い実行は、『区分の』セクターを含むことになっています。これらは、通常、no_resource_point（または『無効な点』）の使用を通して、資源生成セクターの大きなかなりの量を他の資源生成セクターに接続します。no_resource_pointはebpsgameplayの下で見つかります、そして、それが資源を生み出さない間、それは戦略のさらなるレベルをあなたの地図に加える機会を提示します。上記の例をして、道に沿って無効な点を置いて、その領域に2つの農場をseperateさせることについて考えてください。これらの点の慎重な試用期間とuseageで、あなたはプレーヤーに彼の強化された軍用品または燃料点に対する全面的な攻撃を開始しなければならないことなく彼らの敵を重要な資源から切り離す方法を提供することができます。 From Relic Community Wiki

Even when given a re-run in Japanese theaters five years ago, Eirin still make adjustments to 15 parts of the movie. このよく知られている露出している映画は芸術だと大島は主張したが、映倫はこれを性的なものであると主張し、検閲官はこの映画を切り裂いた。 五年前に日本の映画館で再上映が行われた時でさえ、まだ映倫はこの映画の15箇所を修正した。 5 The closest genitalia have come to being screened publicly in Japan was the briefest of glimpses of a male member that pops up when two football players clash in Oliver Stone s "Any Given Sunday" in 1999. これまで、日本においておおやけにスクリーンに映し出されたもっとも近接撮影された生殖器は、1999年のオリバー・ストーンの「エニイ・ギブン・サンデー」における、フットボール選手二人が衝突したときに飛び出した男性の体の一部のポロリであった。 6 But, with the Japanese premiere in late August of "Kinsey," local moviegoers will get their first unadulterated glimpse of both male and female reproductive organs. しかし、「キンゼイ」が８月末に日本でプレミア試写会されることで、日本の映画ファンは初めて、男性と女性両方の繁殖器官をはっきりと一瞥することになるだろう。 7 "We discussed it quite a bit internally before deciding the scene where the organs appear is really important for the overall movie and that we wanted it to be screened uncut and without a mosaic," a spokesman for Shochiku, the distributor of "Kinsey," tells Shukan Post. 「性器が表示される場面は映画全体にとって本当に重要であり、この映画をカットせずモザイクなしで上映させたい、と決めるまで、私たちはこれ(「キンゼイ」)について内部でかなり議論しました。と「キンゼイ」の配給会社・松竹のスポークスマンは週刊ポストに語る。 8 Eirin, which has a strict policy of prohibiting the display or genitalia or pubic hair, has bent when it comes to "Kinsey," a biopic of U.S. sex academic Alfred Kinsey. 性器やあそこの毛の表示を禁じる厳しい方針を採用している映倫は、合衆国の性研究者アルフレッド・キンゼイの伝記映画については、方針を曲げた。 9 "It s not on screen for long and, overall, we decided that the scene did not touch on Eirin s regulations," a spokesman for the movie ethics committee tells Shukan Post. 「なんといっても、性器が長い間スクリーンに映っているわけではないし、私たちはその場面は映倫の規制規則に抵触しないと判断しました」と、映倫のスポークスマンは週刊ポストに語る。 10 "Kinsey" tells the story of the academic s study of the sexual practice of some 18,000 white Americans in the 1940s and 50s. The academic later wrote up his findings in "The Kinsey Report," which made him famous throughout the world. 「キンゼイ」では、1940年代と1950年代に行われた、およそ18000人のアメリカ白人の性行為の学術的な研究の物語が描かれている。 この研究者は後に研究成果を「キンゼイ・レポート」の中に書き上あげ、それにより彼は世界中で有名になった。 11 The scene in "Kinsey" where the genitalia are displayed features Liam Neeson as the title character explaining the reproductive act to a group of university students. The scene is depicted as an earth-shattering moment in Kinsey s life because it prompts him to realize that existing sex education is insufficient and he begins his study to find data to back up his demand for improvements. 生殖器が表示されている「キンゼイ」の場面は、リアム・ニーソンが演じている。タイトルとなっている主人公役で、大学生の集団に性行為について説明しているところだ。 この場面はキンゼイの生涯においてあっと驚く瞬間として描かれている。なぜならそれは、既存の性教育は不十分であることを彼が理解することを促し、そして改善のための彼の要望を支持するためのデータを見つけ出すための彼の研究を、彼は始めたのだから。 12 Japanese sex educationalists are hoping "Kinsey" will reveal more than mere members. 日本の性教育者たちは、「キンゼイ」が試写会会員以外の人たちにも見てもらえることを望んでいる。 13 "There s nothing dirty about the scene where the genitalia are displayed. In fact, I thought it showed how serious an academic Kinsey was. This movie does not just show Kinsey s life, it also has the added value of sparking discussion about modern sexuality. There aren t too many academics like Kinsey nowadays. And, no matter how open we ve become about sexuality, there are still many areas that remain taboo," Japan s foremost sexologist Kim Myung Gan tells Shukan Post. "There s a chance that showing this movie without a mosaic may deepen discussion about sex education. Hopefully, this movie could establish a precedent for how sexuality is depicted." (By Ryann Connell) August 5, 2005 「生殖器が表示される場面に関して、何もいやらしいことはありません。実際、これはキンゼイがいかに真剣な研究者であったかを示している、と私は思います。この映画はただ単にキンゼイの人生を描いているだけではなく、現代のセクシャリティーには未だにタブーとされている事柄がたくさんあるという、議論の火付け役という付加価値を持っています。と、日本の最高位の性科学者・Kim Myung Gan(原文のママ)は週刊ポストに語る。 「モザイクなしでこの映画を見せることにより、性教育についての議論を深めるかもしれないという可能性があります。願わくば、この映画がセクシャリティーの描き方の先例を打ち立てますように」(ライアン・コネル記) 2005年8月5日 参考資料 映画倫理委員会 http //ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%98%A0%E7%94%BB%E5%80%AB%E7%90%86%E5%A7%94%E5%93%A1%E4%BC%9A 大島渚 http //ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A4%A7%E5%B3%B6%E6%B8%9A 愛のコリーダ http //ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%84%9B%E3%81%AE%E3%82%B3%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%80 オリバー・ストーン http //ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3 エニイ・ギブン・サンデー http //ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A8%E3%83%8B%E3%82%A4%E3%83%BB%E3%82%AE%E3%83%96%E3%83%B3%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B5%E3%83%B3%E3%83%87%E3%83%BC キンゼイ(愛についてのキンゼイ・レポート) http //ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%84%9B%E3%81%AB%E3%81%A4%E3%81%84%E3%81%A6%E3%81%AE%E3%82%AD%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BC%E3%82%A4%E3%83%BB%E3%83%AC%E3%83%9D%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88 松竹 http //ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9D%BE%E7%AB%B9 キンゼイ・レポート http //ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AD%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BC%E3%82%A4%E5%A0%B1%E5%91%8A Kim Myung Gan(キム・ミョンガン) http //www.kimmyonggan.com/ http //spysee.jp/%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A0%E3%83%BB%E3%83%9F%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AC%E3%83%B3/1603757/ 1950年、神戸生まれ。 75年から‘89年まで、京都精華大学にて文化人類学と韓国語の講師を務める傍ら、性について独自の研究を重ね、「性人類学」という独自の分野を開拓する。 槇村さとる(漫画家)とは事実婚関係。 拡散状況 Orient Expat http //www.orientexpat.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3252 英語版のWikipedia http //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakura_Sakurada 中国語サイト http //blog.yam.com/jostar2/article/367687 英語サイト http //briandavidphillips.typepad.com/brian/2005/08/kinsey_uncut_.html http //www.theforum.com/showthread.php?t=51707 http //www.jxbb.com/animeclub.old/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=630 関連ページ Orient Expat WaiWaiの記事を転載した英語サイト：B WaiWaiの記事を転載した英語サイト：T WaiWaiの記事を転載した英語サイト：U 毎日新聞英語版から配信された記事2005年 英語版Wikipediaに記事が及ぼした影響 記事が及ぼした影響

It is the cover America has given other countries to avoid acknowledging the problems of the agreement America is abandoning. give cover 擁護する But this long-touted approach to cutting emissions still operates on only a very small scale, dealing with just a few tens of millions of tonnes of CO2 a year. long-touted 長い間もてはやされている [taut] Britain’s one-off £8.6m ($11.3m) is footling.

The decentralised digital cryptocurrency, powered by a vast computer network, is notorious for the wild fluctuations in its value, the zeal of its supporters and its degenerate uses, such as extortion, buying drugs and hiring hitmen in the online bazaars of the “dark net”. zeal = zest 情熱 extortion 強奪、恐喝 hitman 殺し屋 This is unfair. The value of a bitcoin has been pretty stable, at around $250, for most of this year. Among regulators and financial institutions, scepticism has given way to enthusiasm (the European Union recently recognised it as a currency). But most unfair of all is that bitcoin’s shady image causes people to overlook the extraordinary potential of the “blockchain”, the technology that underpins it. This innovation carries a significance stretching far beyond cryptocurrency. The blockchain lets people who have no particular confidence in each other collaborate without having to go through a neutral central authority. Simply put, it is a machine for creating trust. carry significance 重要性をもつ simply put 簡単に言うと The blockchain food chain To understand the power of blockchain systems, and the things they can do, it is important to distinguish between three things that are commonly muddled up, namely the bitcoin currency, the specific blockchain that underpins it and the idea of blockchains in general. A helpful analogy is with Napster, the pioneering but illegal “peer-to-peer” file-sharing service that went on line in 1999, providing free access to millions of music tracks. Napster itself was swiftly shut down, but it inspired a host of other peer-to-peer services. Many of these were also used for pirating music and films. Yet despite its dubious origins, peer-to-peer technology found legitimate uses, powering internet startups such as Skype (for telephony) and Spotify (for music streaming)—and also, as it happens, bitcoin. muddle up ごっちゃにする as it happens 偶然にも、都合よくも The blockchain is an even more potent technology. In essence it is a shared, trusted, public ledger that everyone can inspect, but which no single user controls. The participants in a blockchain system collectively keep the ledger up to date it can be amended only according to strict rules and by general agreement. Bitcoin’s blockchain ledger prevents double-spending and keeps track of transactions continuously. It is what makes possible a currency without a central bank. ledger 台帳、帳簿 Blockchains are also the latest example of the unexpected fruits of cryptography. Mathematical scrambling is used to boil down an original piece of information into a code, known as a hash. Any attempt to tamper with any part of the blockchain is apparent immediately—because the new hash will not match the old ones. In this way a science that keeps information secret (vital for encrypting messages and online shopping and banking) is, paradoxically, also a tool for open dealing. boil down 煮詰める；要約する tamper 改ざんする Bitcoin itself may never be more than a curiosity. However blockchains have a host of other uses because they meet the need for a trustworthy record, something vital for transactions of every sort. Dozens of startups now hope to capitalise on the blockchain technology, either by doing clever things with the bitcoin blockchain or by creating new blockchains of their own (see article). One idea, for example, is to make cheap, tamper-proof public databases—land registries, say, (Honduras and Greece are interested); or registers of the ownership of luxury goods or works of art. Documents can be notarised by embedding information about them into a public blockchain—and you will no longer need a notary to vouch for them. Financial-services firms are contemplating using blockchains as a record of who owns what instead of having a series of internal ledgers. A trusted private ledger removes the need for reconciling each transaction with a counterparty, it is fast and it minimises errors. Santander reckons that it could save banks up to $20 billion a year by 2022. Twenty-five banks have just joined a blockchain startup, called R3 CEV, to develop common standards, and NASDAQ is about to start using the technology to record trading in securities of private companies. notarize （公証人が）文書を認証する notary 公証人 vouch for （個人的に）保証する comtemplate 熟考する reconcile 一致させる、照合する These new blockchains need not work in exactly the way that bitcoin’s does. Many of them could tweak its model by, for example, finding alternatives to its energy-intensive “mining” process, which pays participants newly minted bitcoins in return for providing the computing power needed to maintain the ledger. A group of vetted participants within an industry might instead agree to join a private blockchain, say, that needs less security. Blockchains can also implement business rules, such as transactions that take place only if two or more parties endorse them, or if another transaction has been completed first. As with Napster and peer-to-peer technology, a clever idea is being modified and improved. In the process, it is fast throwing off its reputation for shadiness. mint 貨幣を鋳造する vet 入念に検査する、吟味する New chains on the block The spread of blockchains is bad for anyone in the “trust business”—the centralised institutions and bureaucracies, such as banks, clearing houses and government authorities that are deemed sufficiently trustworthy to handle transactions. Even as some banks and governments explore the use of this new technology, others will surely fight it. But given the decline in trust in governments and banks in recent years, a way to create more scrutiny and transparency could be no bad thing. clearinghouse 手形交換所；情報センター Drawing up regulations for blockchains at this early stage would be a mistake the history of peer-to-peer technology suggests that it is likely to be several years before the technology’s full potential becomes clear. In the meantime regulators should stay their hands, or find ways to accommodate new approaches within existing frameworks, rather than risk stifling a fast-evolving idea with overly prescriptive rules. prescriptive 規範的な、指図する stifle 息を詰まらせる The notion of shared public ledgers may not sound revolutionary or sexy. Neither did double-entry book-keeping or joint-stock companies. Yet, like them, the blockchain is an apparently mundane process that has the potential to transform how people and businesses co-operate. Bitcoin fanatics are enthralled by the libertarian ideal of a pure, digital currency beyond the reach of any central bank. The real innovation is not the digital coins themselves, but the trust machine that mints them—and which promises much more besides. mundane 世俗の、この世の enthrall 夢中にさせる 2015.01.05 The euro slumped to the weakest in almost nine years after the European Central Bank signaled it will consider embarking on large-scale government-bond purchases. "The reasons to be selling the euro were pretty clear over the weekend Draghi being a step closer to QE and deepening concerns about the Greek political situation,” Sean Callow, a currency strategist at Westpac Banking Corp. in Sydney, said by phone today. “The euro was so close to such a keenly watched round number as $1.20 that we didn’t need any fresh news to tip us over the cliff today." Producing an entirely new particle -- in this case a charged pion -- requires much more energy than it would take to blast the nucleus apart -- which is why the physicists are always surprised that the reaction happens as often as it does. McFarland adds that even painstakingly detailed theoretical calculations for this reaction "have been all over the map." 2014.12.11 I have two sons, 4- and 1-year-old. Last July the elderly son started to learn violin. The violin teacher told me that if I also wanted to learn together with my son, he would give me lessons without additional expense. So I decided to take lessons with my son. Recently I graduated from playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars". Of course he is still 4 years old, so there are a lot of things more interesting than the violin. So it s not easy to make him practice every day at home. The teacher said that it s difficult keep concentration for a long time, so the time for everyday practice should be less than five minutes or so.

One of the vials had smashed, but after scooping the other out of a pool of icy water, blood and broken glass, they discovered that they were handling a deadly and unknown virus. To spare Yambuku from infamy, they named the infection after a local river, the Ebola. The next 36 years saw about 20 Ebola epidemics. Each was in a village or small town in central Africa and subsided after claiming fewer than 300 lives. Today’s crisis is of a different order. It has struck down three countries—Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone—with a combined population of over 20m. Almost 4,500 deaths have been recorded the actual total is much larger. The epidemic is still rampant, destroying communities as it goes. It has spread sporadically to other African countries and to Spain and America. The World Health Organisation (WHO) fears up to 10,000 new victims a week by December, perhaps 70% of whom will die. Its chief calls the epidemic “the most severe acute public-health emergency in modern times”. Now that the world has woken up to the danger, the task is to stop the toll reaching hundreds of thousands, if not millions. That is feasible only with sustained international collaboration. And so far, collaboration is something the response has tragically lacked. This time it’s different Like any epidemic, Ebola is best stopped early. It kills health workers by exposing them to patients who, by the end, exude up to ten litres of virus-laden fluids a day. The number of infections seems to be doubling every two to four weeks. As health-care workers fall ill and the infection grows exponentially, a society’s defences against Ebola are rapidly overwhelmed. This time the response has been fatally slow. One reason is that an Ebola epidemic had never been seen in that part of Africa. The disease may also have been helped by urbanisation and development, which strengthen the transport links that shuttle virus from villages to the town and back into uninfected country. Perhaps it was only a matter of time before Ebola would find its way into a slum too chaotic and vast to cope. Recrimination is for later. The effort now must go into defending against Ebola’s spread. The disease poses only a slight risk in rich countries, because tracing, diagnosing and isolating scattered cases is within the scope of their health systems. Officials are minimising the threat by screening travellers, though apparently healthy people can be incubating Ebola. But to quarantine an entire chunk of west Africa would be both wrong and futile. Borders would be permeable. People would flee and pay bribes. As the virus conquered west Africa unchecked, more untraceable emigrants would carry it inside their bodies. When the epidemic spread, would you then slam the door on Ivory Coast and Nigeria? Dhaka? Mumbai? The way to make the world safe is vigilance outside west Africa and to drain the reservoir of infection within it. Because the disease kills fast and spreads only via direct contact with body fluids, patients infect an average of just 1.5-2.2 others. If you reduce that ratio, the epidemic will slow; if you can get it below one, it will subside (see article). Science can help. If instant-diagnosis kits work, health-care workers can isolate patients early on, when the disease is hard to tell from malaria or cholera. Eventually, new vaccines could offer protection for the general population—though they will not be ready for many months. Instead the first doses should be used to try to ensure that medical staff are safe, helping to eliminate today’s grave shortage of people willing to put themselves forward as carers. Other ideas include new antiviral medicine. Serum from survivors is promising, too more could be done to get it to patients. But different treatments need to be tested against each other in a systematic way to see which ones work and which will not. A bad feeling In the meantime, the world must strive to turn back Ebola the old-fashioned way. The WHO has set the goal 70% of burials must be safe and 70% of cases isolated locally or in clinics, both within 60 days. It is a daunting task. The plan will fail if people mistrust health advice. But fear and suspicion spread even faster than the virus. Some who try to teach people about the disease have been attacked. Conspiracy theories are rife. Some try to avoid the stigma of Ebola, by pretending they have caught something else. There is a black market in death certificates, so that families can bury their members in local graves. The good news is that safer behaviour is spreading—in the way people greet each other, and in rapid burials that shun rituals of touching and kissing. The plan will also fail without more treatment centres. Liberia has 620 beds but needs five times that number—and the demand is growing exponentially. By one reckoning, a 70-bed clinic costs $1m a month to run and needs two to three staff for each patient. America, Britain and the World Bank have between them promised almost $2 billion. Pledges are coming in fast. If more cash is needed, it will be found. Much harder is to get the treatment centres rapidly built, supplied and staffed. In desperation, planners are resorting to makeshift clinics and training local people to mind them—one idea is to recruit survivors, who have immunity. For the moment, more patients will use these than proper centres. Untested, and clearly second-best, their success will depend on how well the authorities can explain how to treat the sick. Nobody can say how easy that will be. It has never been tried. Ebola infects everything. People keep away from fields and markets—so the price of cassava has more than doubled and there is a risk of hunger. Children are orphaned, businesses close, political and tribal resentments flare up. All that will only make Ebola harder to beat. It is a test for the people of west Africa. But it is also a test for a globalising world. The slums of Freetown are closer to the streets of London than they have ever been. Some, like Cuba and Médecins Sans Frontières, have risen to the occasion. Too many still have not.

Mark Zuckerberg posted pictures of his fellow Harvard students online to let viewers comment on who was hot and who was not. Eight years later, Facebook is one of the hottest companies in the world. On February 1st the social network announced plans for an initial public offering (IPO) that could value it at between $75 billion and $100 billion (see article). This is extraordinary. Investors believe that a start-up run by a cocky 27-year-old is more valuable than Boeing, the world’s largest aircraftmaker. Are they nuts? as a lark 面白半分に、ふざけて hot = sexy nuts = crazy; Are you nuts? 気は確かか？頭がおかしいんじゃないか？ cocky 自信過剰な、うぬぼれた But there are reasons to bet Facebook will justify the hype, for it has found a new way to harness a prehistoric instinct. hype 誇大広告、いんちき prehistoric 先史時代の；時代遅れの Many firms feel they have no choice but to deal with it, and some already resent its clout. clout 強い影響力；殴打 Facebook is likely to become a gargantuan company.

Step one is to force private bondholders to take more losses. They have been treated with kid gloves so far because European governments insist the debt deal must be voluntary, thanks in part to a misplaced fear of triggering credit-default swaps. That must change. Discard the veneer of voluntarism and Greece can be tougher on its creditors. treat -- with kid gloves 腫れ物のように扱う、（変に）丁寧に扱う veneer ベニヤ板、うわべの Greece’s rescuers bear some blame they focused too much on raising taxes and too little on reforming the state and freeing up the economy.
