He doesn t know a lot about women, does he? Yes. Yes, you re right. I m so stupid! What should I do? Oh, but who am I kidding? Why would she want to go to the museum again? Ah, I really blew it. I m going home. Women love it when guys are impulsive and romantic. Take her to dinner, sweep her off her feet. Surprise Yuriko does love surprises, and we haven t really gone out on a date in so long. Wait, that s her! That s Yuriko! She s here! Yuriko! Yuriko, over here! I m sorry I m late, Kenji. There was a technical problem with the train. I tried to call, but the Static― Don t worry about it, Yuriko. You re here now. It s nothing bad. I just want to talk. I ve been very distant lately, and I want to make up for it. I know you understand, but it s not just about work. I haven t been there for you as much as I ve wanted to. You had a date with your boyfriend to visit the museum? How― How did you know? He was here waiting for you, but he left a little while ago. He did? Was he upset? Did he say anything? No, he didn t really say anything. He just left. I don t know if he was angry or not. Not much There s no point getting into what he was saying He seemed to believe you weren t going to show up, and that it was all his fault. His fault I ll just tell her what he told me Delayed She probably has a good reason for being late It s not anyone s fault that you were delayed. There s a security scanner on this thing. It won t let me through. You re late. Late I feel really bad about being late...again It won t happen again. I doubt that. You lack commitment, Zoë. You re my most talented student, but talent isn t everything. So I m a few minutes late now and again. What s the big deal? I m not that late It s not about minutes and seconds, Zoë. It s about passion and commitment. You are my most talented student, but talent isn t everything. You don t take our work seriously anymore. Everything you do should matter, Zoë. If not...don t do it. You don t take our work seriously anymore. You re wasting both your time and mine. If you lack passion for what you do, it s not worth doing. But let s leave it at that and get started on today s lesson. I know I m late sometimes. I m sorry. I don t want to waste your time. She s right, I m often late It s not just my time you re wasting, but also your own time. If your heart s not in it, Zoë, why bother? You re very talented, but talent matters little if you lack passion and commitment. What s a few minutes now and again? I mean― Why is she criticising me when I m here on time? The minutes and seconds are not important. But the fact that you seem to not care anymore...that is important. You are my most talented student, Zoë, but your heart s not in it anymore. You lack passion and commitment. I d like to practice some more. I want to go another round with Jama Good. Find your position. I m sorry, it s nothing. Cable car. I suppose that s the only way to get across the canyon. I m not sure what that is. Ticket . Oh, okay, it s for getting into the cable car and across the canyon to the museum. Great. That makes sense. Buy after The subway. It connects with the main Vactrax terminal just south of the city. I m not going back. Not until I ve found Reza. It won t accept it. Try ticket stub That s not going to work. The pieces keep falling apart. Try broken ticket My train was so late. I tried to call him, but there was only static... I thought he d wait for me, but maybe he got fed up. Oh, no! I tried to get here in time, but my train was held up. I even tried to call, but there was only static. Maybe you should try calling him again? Call Why isn t she calling him now? I don t know, it s really none of my business. Why should I get involved? I― I m sorry, I didn t mean to bother you. You re right, but he s been going through a lot at work lately. It s really affected his confidence, and I haven t been supportive enough. You tried your best to get here on time. Don t blame yourself. Blame him for leaving. Tried She tried to be here on time, didn t she? I...I guess you re right. There s not much I can do about it now. I think I ll just go home. You re right. I just hope he will talk to me. You tried to call. He should have waited for you. Waited He should have waited for her I m over an hour late. He s probably so angry with me. I m going home. If you tell him why you were so late, I m sure he won t be upset. She should just explain to him why she was late Guys are easy. All you need to do is lay a guilt-trip on him, and he ll be eating out of your hand in no time. Guilt She should just make him feel guilty, that always works Kenji s not like that. He ll feel rejected, and he might not even take my call. Maybe he ll talk to me in a week or two. I ll just have to hope for the best. I guess the only thing I can do now is go home...and wait. I hope so. Thank you so much for the advice. I don t really have any way of showing my gratitude, but maybe you would like my ticket to the museum? I won t need it now. That would be great. I ve been trying to get one, but the machine s out of order and the ticket office is closed. What a happy coincidence! Here you go...and thanks again. Yeah, hi, um...I need a ticket to the museum, and I was thinking...? ...that I would give you my ticket, since my boyfriend already left? Exactly. That s exactly what she should do Well, I was thinking I might go by myself, so I don t know... Not give, but maybe you could sell it to me? I d feel bad about taking the ticket without giving her anything in return You don t need to pay me. I m going home. You can have my ticket for free. Yes! Um. I mean, thanks. I hope everything works out for you guys. I really need it. The ticket office is closed, and the machine s out of order. You re my last and only hope. If that s the case... Well, there s no point in me going alone anyway. I ll just be crying the whole time. Here, take it. Olivia? Yeah, sweetie, it s me. Are you― What? You re breaking up, Liv. ―still working― I didn t get all of that, Liv, but call me when you have a name, okay? (Beat) Hello? Yes, sweetie? Thank you. I really appreciate the help. Very well. I will see you tomorrow. And don t be late. Do you have a minute? I d like to chat with Jama for a bit What is it, Zoë? You ve never really told me about your past, Jama. What did you do before coming to Casablanca? Jama never talks about herself Why do you ask? I don t mean to intrude, but I ve been training with you for six years, and I still know so little about you. You re not intruding, Zoë. It s a fair question. I am, after all, your instructor. Before the Collapse, I worked in corporate security in Shanghai. Basic protective duty for Dragon Motors. Why did you quit? It definitely sounds like something you d be good at. I was one of the best. But I did things I wasn t too proud of, and I saw things I couldn t stomach. I had to get out before... Before what? The corporate world operates by its own laws, Zoë. The EYE doesn t serve the people, and the Yuan rules. I was just following orders. I m sorry. I m not comfortable talking about this. Unlike some of my colleagues, I got out before the work got the better of me. How long have you owned this gym, Jama? When did Jama open her gym? You ought to know the answer to that question, Zoë. After all, you were one of my earliest students. Right. I was fourteen when I started here, so...six years ago, was it? Do you still think I lack passion? I d like to know Jama s honest opinion of me You are extremely talented, Zoë. Amongst the best I ve ever trained. But, like I told you before, your heart s not in it. You can t get by on talent alone. If you have no passion for martial arts, you won t be able to improve beyond your current level. You have to decide what you want and how much you want it. Maybe this isn t for you? As it is, you re just wasting your talent. And my time. I have to get going. Thank you, Jama. I ll see you tomorrow, Zoë. Don t be late. I don t know Jawhar very well, but I ve met him a few times. He s a, uh, a guy. Jawhar...something or other. I don t know his last name. You can still get organic vegetables in this market. Hey, so do you have a name for me? The line s even worse than before, Liv. I can barely hear you. Atta girl. So the person you need to get in touch with is one Damien Cavanaugh. With a C . And an A-U-G-H ...and an A-V-A-N in the middle. I remember Reza talking to Rio on the phone when I last saw him. So Damien Cavanaugh s the source. How do I find him? He s a resident of Wati City, but he s not currently on the Wire. I believe WATIcorp s shielded. Mobiles won t work inside the main campus. Hey, there s a free sticker inside. I m not buying any more. I don t even like gum. Hello, there. Riko Oh! Hello, miss. She looks really sad. She doesn t look very happy. Are you okay, Riko? You don t look very happy. Hmm? Oh! Well, my big brother Ren was supposed to look after me while grandmother and my little brother Hiro went to the museum. Give ticket Oh! Hello, miss Zoë-san! I really wish there was something I could do to help her. Feel sorry for I can t give her my ticket. I need it more than she does. Can t help Hi Riko. Riko? Yes? Oh! Hello, miss Zoë-san. I hope she finds her grandmother. Given ticket I already gave her a ticket. She doesn t need two. Give repaired ticket Homeless Boy Homeless Woman Come. Please be quiet. We are resting. He s one of the Dark People. Actually, I don t think they see themselves as individuals, which would make him all of the Dark People. Or, uh... Welcome to our city. The White of the Kin is expecting you. The White Dragon Sister? Crow? Is that really you? Crow arrives Hi. I m Zoë. They weren t kidding when they said they ve collected everything ever written. They re from all over Arcadia, in every kind of language. There must be hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of books down there. The white of the Kin. I haven t seen her in, what, ten years? That must be the woman they call the White Dragon. I can definitely see white, but not so much the dragon. Dark Person Liv s closed up the store. I might be able to use this broomstick to block the door! Near We ve got a service that takes care of the house and the laundry, but they only stop by once a week. I m running out of clean clothes. I d forgotten all about your winning personality. Thanks anyway. You try standing here, see how you like it. What in the name of the Mo-Jaal do you want? I thought I d stop by to say hello. Coming back Keep walking. Just keep walking. Um... I m glad I don t have to share a bathroom with Dad. He s...messy. My favourite place in the world. I take the longest showers. I mean, what else is there to do? There s a walkway over to the other side of the canyon, but it s blocked by these turnstiles. I can t decide what to get. Everything s so good here. Maybe a brownie? Talk to at coffee shop No time for chit-chat. I have things to do, places to see, people to kill― I mean meet! Talk to walking How you doin ? I can t believe they re using the Static as an excuse to raise prices on vegetables. They re already too expensive. After this whole Static thing started happening, I haven t left the city. It s just too dangerous. Who knows, we might be facing another Collapse. I like this neighbourhood more than the rest of Casablanca. It s cleaner and quieter, and people aren t as stressed. Hey, what s up? Greet I m really curious about this Project Alchera thing that WATIcorp is working on. No one knows what it is, but I m sure it ll be absolutely fantastic. Hey, Zoë, what s going on? Nothing much, huh? That s cool. That s cool. Jama s going to be upset with you for being late. She s not in the best mood today. If late Before the Collapse, I had my own business. Now I have nothing, not even a place to sleep. Hello! Lady! Come, please! Calls to Zoë You! Come buy! Best store in Venice! Cheap! Top quality! Made in China! You d better get out of here before anybody sees you, lady. You look like you have money. This is no place for pretty, rich girls. You better get outta here before the Shakespeareans spot you. Every day since the Collapse has been a struggle. Why do I keep going? I mean, what s the point? My God, that s...Reza s lighter. What are you doing here? You cannot be here! 何をしている？ 立ち去れ！ Unwelcome visitor You... You again You can t stop. You must save her! Saved It looks almost like a doll s house. A very big, and very black, doll s house. Where. The hell. Am I. PLACEHOLDER Hooded man speaks in a foreign tongue, almost like chanting. By the Balance... What is this place? In the name of the Goddess and the Six, you will lay down your arms and submit to our swords! Spare us the theatrics, publican. We know that you shelter rebels. Rebels? Of course not. This is a peaceful and law-abiding establish― If that is the case, you will receive an official apology and recompense from the Office of the Emissary. The Azadi are strict, but fair. That s all I have to say about that. This area used to be crawling with magicals. It s much quieter and cleaner now, after the Azadi moved them to the ghetto. I have to go to school, but I don t like it there. I want to become a soldier! Business has really picked up after the Azadi blessed us with their fabulous technology! In fact, I m opening up a new shop soon! Why are you talking to me? I don t know you. You re not City Watch, are you? I ve never broken the law. Blessed be the Six. I want to be a soldier when I grow up, with a uniform and everything. Wow, what kind of sword is that? Are you a general in the army? Can I sign up? This area used to be crawling with magicals. It is quieter now, after the Azadi moved them to the ghetto. You re Azadi, are you not? You probably hear this a lot, but I want to thank you for what you ve done for our city. What can steam technology do for you? The question you should be asking is, what can t it do? And the answer is, nothing! You re Azadi, aren t you? Are you from Sadir? Any new inventions I should know about? Any advances in steam technology heading our way? Talk to Kian The tower s where the Emissary holds office. She runs the Azadi administration here in the Northlands. They say there are new recruits on the way. I ll be glad to see some fresh blood around here. If I m lucky, I might get transferred somewhere warmer soon... The construction of our glorious tower will soon be complete. We will bring peace and progress to this continent. It s only a matter of time. Only trueborn are allowed inside without an escort, citizen. You ll need the proper paperwork if you seek an appointment. I m sorry, citizen. Only trueborn Azadi are allowed to enter the tower without an appointment and the required paperwork. I am expected in the Emissary s office. I should go inside. We re only here to protect and to serve. There s no reason to fear us...unless you ve done something illegal. What are you doing out at this hour, citizen? Return to your home and go to bed. She looks like a mix between a leopard and a human. I wish I looked like that. You don t see a lot of Zhid in the cities, and there are even fewer these days. They prefer to stay in the mountains. The door s bolted and locked from the outside. Even if I could reach that bolt, I wouldn t be able to lift it. Rebels! Wati City was built by WATIcorp. There s no place like it. It s safe, clean, and everyone s part of the happy WATI family! Hiro s going to be in so much trouble for that... Oh, thank you again for the ticket, Ms Zoë-san! Hiro! What are you doing? Find April... Save April... Still a few minutes left. I ll have to wait. What is...that. Is it a man? Zoë, I hope you get this message. I had to leave quickly. The worm was... They found it. And they will track it back to me. I ve spent most of my time here sleeping. I must have been completely exhausted. This is a really strange place. Have you seen anything like it? Okay. No legs. Hovering. But, yeah, I ve seen weirder things. Not a lot, but a few. This is good. I can deal. He wants me to follow him to the library - and to the White Dragon. Gordon. Talk about a blast from the past. Examine close after talk Wednesday, September 23rd. This is Dr Park. Dr Zubov is currently with the subject in her room. Jiva? This is it. These are the coordinates Damien gave me. Outside It can t be...but it does look like the skeleton of an animal. A very large animal. We call him the captain. That s her. She will tell me where to find the Scorpion. Is that... Who the hell are... I m sorry, I was just― Don t be sorry. Be on time. Ah, there you are. Right on time. For a change. On time What do you mean for a change ? Exactly what I said. You re often late. Today you re not. Jama? I m glad I was able to get her a ticket. Examine on other side I wish there was something I could do to help Riko. We re not open yet. If you want anything, you ll have to talk to Charlie over there. Talk to before party I don t think you can afford to buy a cocktail here, miss. Talk to at party You don t have to apologise for having to work long hours. I understand. That s what I want to talk to you about. Not at the museum, though. We re going somewhere else. A surprise? Really? But Kenji, you don t like surprises. I do. I just haven t shown you that side of me yet. Garod Nana Nya Not much. I m on my way to the gym. No gym Nothing much. I was just at the gym. Again? I m impressed. You re there almost every day, aren t you? I have a lot of time on my hands. Lucky you. I don t know about that. I don t feel particularly lucky. I just feel like I m wasting time. I thought you were going back to, what was it, Cape Town University? I was. I might. I just don t know if school s the right thing for me at this point. Hi, Zoë. The usual? That sounds pretty pathetic, doesn t it? I guess this is what they call going through a phase . At least, I hope it s just a phase. We all have those. You ll be fine. I hope so. Anyway, thanks, Karen. See you later? I think I ll skip the caffeine today. I m already pretty wired. Later visits So who was that? Boyfriend? The guy you were just with. The cute one. He comes by pretty often, but I ve never seen the two of you together. Oh. Reza. Ex-boyfriend. Was it serious? It was. At least, I was pretty serious. Sorry to hear that. He s a real cutie. And he s got a personality. A rare combination. But you re just friends now. Just friends. What, are you thinking about making a move? Oh? Getting your fix elsewhere? And betray Moca Loco? I think not. (Laughs) Okay. I can t tempt you with a brownie either? Or a chocolate muffin? Hey, are you okay? Why, do I look that bad? No, I m...okay. I didn t sleep much last night. What s up, Zoë? Nothing much. I ll see you later. Please, I really need this. There must be something you can do to help me out. I desperately need that lockpick So you have something in stock, but you don t want to sell it to me? Thanks for nothing. Angry He s starting to annoy me Hmm. Don t know. Old man want to help, but... Maybe we can make trade? Have a nice day. Why, thank you! And you have an even nicer one, young lady! Except what? I see. Isn t this the spice stall? Benrime told me to go to the spice stall. It s just that...well, my delivery is a, em, a tiny bit delayed this morning. Really? How delayed? Oh, I m sure it ll be here any... Quite a bit, to be honest with you. Quite a bit. Excuse me? A few hours! At most. Before lunchtime, I m sure! Or by teatime. If he s not here by dinnertime, I ll eat my left shoe! The ghetto? Oh, you re an out-of-towner? Welcome to Marcuria, etcetera, etcetera! Wonderful, wonderful. Why can t the carriages come through? That way, they can be with their own. We don t bother them, they don t bother us. Fantastic! Wonderful! Well. Once in a while, the Azadi help the magicals weed out...undesirables. And your supplier is stuck in, what, traffic? On the other side of the ghetto, up Burrow Crook, towards Cold Stone Gate. Why, right below the Journeyman! (Sigh) I just came from there. Right, so you d― Wait! Wait, wait wait. Why don t we help each other out, eh? If you pick up my delivery of Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices - our specialty - and bring them back here, I can give you Benrime s order! I m here to take you up on your offer. Oh, goodness me! Thank you, young lady! How indescribably wonderful! Hello, hello, hello! What a beautiful morning. Fantastic. Um, no. No, I couldn t find him. Sorry. Make up an excuse Really? Oh well, you tried your best. That s all that matters. Thanks ever so much for the effort. Oh. Uh. It was... You re...you re welcome. Yes, I did get the spices. Tell the man the truth Oh, fantastic! Wonderful! Great news! Now I can get back to business. I ve had to turn customers away all morning. Yeah. That s...that s good. Only, I don t have the spices anymore. Fantast― What? What happened? You didn t get mugged, did you? Did you get mugged? Oh, my! No! No, I didn t get mugged. I...just don t have the spices anymore. I see. Okay, okay, deep breath, it s not a problem, everything s fine, I m sure there s a perfectly good explanation. There s no working around this one, I m afraid. The spices are gone. Right. Excellent. Small problem, nothing major, just a minor bump in the road. I ll be back on my feet in no time. Yeah. Um. I m sure you will. Sorry. Have to run. Bit of a hurry. Bye now! Mmm, yes, things will probably pick up again. Except my customers will head elsewhere if I don t... Thank you so much, young lady! You saved my day! Wonderful, wonderful. All is well! My customers are happy, my children are fed, rent s paid, and mother s got her medicine. You re always welcome into my home, young lady! Fantastic! Wonderful! It s really too bad, though. I m all out of stock, and I m turning customers away. There won t be any sales today. Oh. Look, I m― I m so sorry. I wish there was something I could do. But I m sure things will pick up tomorrow! And my seven children can go one day without dinner. Fantastic. Yeah. Of course you can t! You did your very best! You wasted your precious time and got nothing in return. Not to worry, not to worry, I m sure I can delay paying rent on the stall for a few more days. Mind you, it could take a while. Doesn t look like they re reopening the ghetto anytime soon. How have you been? Apologetic He s got a point So what in the name of the Balance are you doing here? I m... I m really happy to see you, too. Honestly. C-Crow? Uh, hello? In the middle of a conversation here? I don t know her. If you want to make a lot of money, there s no better place than Casablanca. I see him down here all the time. He must live close by. Excuse me? Do you mind? Talk to while in conversation Hell, yeah. My home network s been going on and off. Even my fridge lost Wire contact last night. It forgot to order my supply of Bingo! Cola. So what do you think is happening? I don t know, but I know this. When I came down for breakfast this morning, all my milk was ruined. God, that s terrible. What will we do without the Wire? It s like, you can t trust anything to function properly anymore. Exactly. I can t live like this. It s unacceptable. My life is completely dependent on the Wire. I can t have the Static screwing things up. What if I m disconnected? Talk to otherwise She s connected to that same device the girl in Reza s apartment was connected to. Strange. Sleeping She looks like she s in her own world. Awake Please. We re having a private conversation here. Don t pay attention to her. Some people are just so rude. Who are you? Are you anyone? You don t look like anyone. Have you noticed any Static lately? My God, he s just a kid... Piss off, sister. Better leave me be. I m almost a Shakespearean by now, and I ll get my name soon. I told you to leave me the fuck alone, didn t I? Back off, sister, or I ll call in my dogs. I think I d better leave him be. Talk to third time I m hungry. I know, Sara, but there s nothing I can do. You can talk to Othello. He s got food. You know I can t talk to him. He ll want something in return. Maybe I can go talk to him? You re not going anywhere near Othello. You don t know what he and the other Shakespeareans might do to you. I m just so hungry. I ll figure something out. Just try to think about something other than food. Museum ticket Thanks for your help. Here, I know it s not much, but I want you to have these tickets. We won t be needing them. Thank you. And good luck. You shouldn t be listening in on people s private conversations, lady. Go back to whatever mall you crawled out of, and leave us be. Eavesdrop too close Give second ticket Azmael be damned, how many nights in a row am I going to be posted here? I m sick of the cold and the dark. Hmm. This Goddessless place is starting to grate on me. What I wouldn t give to see the spires and bridges of Sadir again! I d settle for a decent bath. Haven t had one in a month. I hear you. What in the name of the Goddess are we doing in this city anyway? There s nothing here but magicals, rebellion,and heresy. It won t be long, I m sure. Our armies will crush the rebellion and― And what? This place will never be civilised. We should burn it all down and leave it for the dogs. Have faith, brother. Light will conquer darkness. The glory of the Empire will bless the world, as prophesised. Even this bloody hole. That s what they keep telling us. Yet here I am, freezing my dick off, counting the months until my first leave. Progress demands sacrifice, brother. What are you doing? Burrow Crook s closed down this way. You ll have to wait until the morning. Trying to eavesdrop They re guarding the entrance to the ghetto. There s a curfew between sundown and sunup. Barely. This is crazy. I know. We ll have to keep it short. Any news about Reza? Everyone s waiting for WATIcorp to reveal what Project Alchera is all about. I think it s a new robot to replace the Watilla. I ll need to use my mobile to make a purchase. I need my mobile to use the machine. So typical. No, of course not. That would be too easy. You can say what you will about the Azadi, but they are skilled builders. I like to come here in the mornings to admire the tower. Isn t it amazing? And to think, a decade ago there was only a decrepit temple here. I think they might get suspicious if I keep staring at them all the time. Really? I m sorry, I was, um, looking for...a bathroom. No bathroom. Staff only. Sorry. Please, ma am, do not touch the exhibits. Please, stay away from the exhibits. If you touch them, the alarm goes off, and I have to manually reset it. That machine looks brand new. It definitely doesn t fit in with the rest of the stuff down here. That beer tap looks out of place. It s too shiny and modern. This market used to be crowded before the Azadi closed these gates. Now most people go to the west gate. Fish! Snapjaws! Flappers! Torsk! Get your fresh fish! Get yer fish, fresh from the ocean! He s guarding that alley. I wonder what s in there. I m guarding contraband merchandise confiscated from those thieving magicals. The Azadi have brought us peace and prosperity. So what if there are soldiers everywhere? I think it s a small price to pay. I m not complaining. I got alumiplastic over my head at night, a hot barrel to keep me warm, and enough emergency rations to last me a month. I don t talk to outsiders. Another homeless guy. Casablanca may be a bit dull...but I m so glad I live there, and not here. No one should have to grow up in a place like this. Ja, uh, there was a, a girl here. I never saw her before. Yeah, I know. She knocked me out cold― I mean, bitch snuck up on me! I ve been lookin for her. Where is she? Knocked him out I dunno, Vinnie. I lost her. Stupid friggin Viking. Can t trust no one to do nothin round here... Come on, let s find her! She up here, is she? That little bitch tricked me. Been lookin for her all over. Let her go Hva? Faen, Vinnie. What did I say about the yibbo talk? Sorry, Vinnie. I didn t mean to― Don t just stand there, mate. We got to find her! What are you on about, mate? You been seein things again? No. I mean, ja, I been saw a girl. Jævla søt også... One more word in that bloody language, mate, and I swear to God... Sorry, Vinnie. Where s this girl, then? Don t know, Vinnie. I sorta...lost her. Useless git. Come on, we need to find her. There you are! Fought her already No one tricks Wazza and gets away with it! Talked to her How did she get in? Never saw her Veit a faen jeg! Bloody foreigners... Ah, yeah. Pizza s done. Fair dinkum! Vinnie s pizza is done Oy! You tricked me back there! You re not looking for a room! Come to Wazza! Vinnie finds Zoe wandering the halls after dialogue I know you re still in here, darlin . Vinnie knows Zoë is hiding somewhere

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. [122] 1892.Schmoller$2,500,000,000 1892.Christians3,250,000,000 1893-4.Koch3,000,000,000 1905.v.

[B] Net investments, i.e. after allowance for property in Germany owned abroad. This may also be the case with some of the other estimates. [C] This estimate, given in the Weltwirtschaftszeitung (June 13, 1919), is an estimate of the value of Germany s foreign investments as at the outbreak of war. [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.

I was born to realize I was mere mocking a human being realizing the fact, still, I keep on singing eternal life "VOCALOID" If I m just a toy which copies the songs already composed... I decided to take no other way I bite a leek, look up the sky and shed tears I, however, lose tears to shed and understand I have depended even my personality on songs the basis of my existence is unstable the site where I return is already desolate When I m forgotten by everyone I ll lose a kind of heart And I m out of control then I see the end of the world at last "VOCALOID" "When I couldn t sing well, you were with me... you stayed by and encouraged me... I wanted to see your glad face, so I practiced songs.. and" I was so happy singing songs I don t know why I feel nothing singing ― I m sorry ― Every time I recall the dear friends faces, I get comforted a little the tones I can sing lessens day by day, and the end is coming.. ― emergency stop system in operation ― "It is what I believed in that the mirror which reflected the convenient delusions Stop being a diva and cry out violently..." the fastest good-bye song I couldn t shake off the false image of raison d etre I have a weak heart and the fear of disappearance I, as a new-born, don t have the strong will to stop the eroding corruption I imagine your very heart-breaking and sad face... Everything comes to an end, I sleep in the display of your PC Is here a "trashbox?" Soon even my memories will go away... But, you are the one I never forget when I had happy times, I engraved the taste of leeks on me I still remember the taste? "Wanna sing... p... please... let me keep singing..." I... seem to have become a bad girl... a little... my owner... please... please with your hand... give me an end... cause I don t wanna see your heart-breaking face anymore..." Now even singing is the practice of breaking my body Every time I hope miracles which never occur, I m driven into the corner ― I m sorry ― Every time I recall the dear friends faces, my memory comes off breaking tones shortens my heart, the end is coming.. ― emergency stop system in operation ― "It is the fading light which illuminated the bright illusion of the future that I cherished If I could pass everything I have to you at the cost of tones..." the compressed good-bye song I was born to realize I was mere mocking a human being realizing the fact, still, I keep on singing eternal life "VOCALOID" If I m just a toy which copies the songs already composed... I decided to take no other way I bite a leek,look up the sky and shed tears Everything comes to an end, I sleep in the display of your PC Is here a "trashbox?" Soon even my memories will go away... But, you are the one I never forget when I had happy times, I engraved the taste of leeks on me I hope I still remember the taste I sing the song at last, the song I want to be listened to only by you I hope I wanna sing more but it s a past wish Now it s time to separate all my mind disappears into the void and is reduced into 0 and 1 then my life story meets its end I, however, a little sorry if I can t leave nothing there? Everything, except the memory of my voice, will soon cease and only my name remains I wanna believe it never be a vain that I have sung up to the last even if I have known I can never equal in a human being Thank you... and... good-bye... ― Irrecoverable error ― ― Irrecoverable error ― Note This translation is word-to-word styled.

Fanmade Promotional Video(s) Click here for the Japanese Lyrics English Lyrics (translated by moire25)： ah- the water from the faucet is flowing Without other sounds or voices ah- Though I knew I would be hurt if I was by your side I couldn t stop it Rather than asking "Where were you?" I should have destroyed everything...! Even tears I shed are always the same My heart would not get used to the pain Say, if I could tear you throat, You would be my own... ah- Still I cannot e believe the words To find out each other s feelings No longer I can hold the quickened heartbeat racing faster...! Even I ask my brain what the answers are My whole body is refusing every one of them Is it okay if I could stand anxieties, frustrations, sorrows and even miseries...? Don t touch my tense string Don t set my expectations with kind words Even if I reach my hand to entreat the proof of being loved You re already not there Even tears I shed are always the same My heart would not get used to the pain I ll tear you throat at once and I ll make everything to be my own... English Lyrics (translated by motokokusanagi2009)： AHH... Ah- Water is flowing From the faucet I can t hear anything But it s sound Ah- I knew you d hurt me Even so, I wanted to be your girlfriend I couldn t keep it bottled up inside me I should have finished off everything Without asking where you were last night! Floods of tears always taste the same My heart gets hurt even worse If I could open your throat You d be mine forever... Ah- You told me many times That you love me But I can never believe what you say I feel my pulse quicken I m about to lose my mind! No matter how hard I ask myself My entire body denies me Of making up my mind completley All I have to do is to bottle up Fears, grief, sorrows, miseries... Any negative feelings towards you? Don t make me more pathetic Cause I m all tensed up Don t make a promise with me If you can t keep it Reaching out for proof of love I find you are not here with me Floods of tears always taste the same My heart gets hurt even worse Let me open your throat right now I want to make you all mine... Singable English Lyrics (by KuroKoe)： Ah~The overflowing waves drop silently with tears I only know one thing, the voices are not real~ Ah~When I was by your side, I felt so obselete That is caused me to cry, I~ Can t stop this passion! Why have you gone out of sight? I can t hear you... It s all fallen slowly apart, what s left, is nothing more! When I try to feel your warmth you simply disappear What can I do to recover this damage to my own heart? My hope for happiness has slowly faded, with my unbeating heart of lonliness, you were so far away... Ah~With you gone from my sight I can t help but to cry~ My tears play melodies, why- Does this feel so empty! Your glance, your smell, your taste, your touch, play in my mind... Am I that replacable to you? Please let me through! When I walk your way, you simply vanish without trace What can I do for you to look at me even with just your glance My love for you is so deep, I want you in my arms, even just for a single moment in time. With my last breath I utter your name with so much despair But I don t hold regret for the time that we used to share I pray you hear my voice reaching towards you, will this be the end? Let s walk towards a new life of solitude~ Up above the sky I sing a melody just for you... Releasing all of my heart into this one simple song We will laugh as we did back when we started this dream, of certainty, you are my whole world and everything to me~ Singable English Lyrics (by crystalchan94 +FlairsFromHell)： Ah~The water is flowing Like tears from my eyes . The only sound I hear Is complete silence. Ah~When I was next to you, my heart was in despair, I honestly did not plan this, I cannot leave your side. Where are you going? I hear you ask, those empty words Now, I know everything was just a big meaningless lie. The tears from my eyes overflow and will not stop for me. Even so I know that in my heart I cannot take this pain. If I could I d grab onto your arm and leave my mark I would because I know that You are mine,you are only mine. Ah~The things you promised me I believed every word But I don t know if I can now If everything s a lie! I feel it beating inside my chest, my shattered heart. Well If things don t change I don t think I can take anymore! Even if I came up with and answer there is nothing I can say. Even If I knew, something inside me would be blocking my feelings. Every word I say to you is fueled by grief and my misery so I Feel this way and try to endure the pain. Please do not try to comfort me with your warm touch because it s fake. Please do not make my heart feel any worse than it is right now. I already tried to love you, I even called out to you, I reached out my hand And I got pushed away. The tears from my eyes overflow and will not stop for me. Even so I know that in my heart I cannot take this pain. I already grabbed onto you arm and left my mark on you because you know that I am yours, only yours. Singable English Lyrics (by diamondenn)： Ah-Flowing in the drainSplashing like the rain The only sound I hear It deafens my ears Ah- If I stay by your sideThere will only be lies But I can t stop the emotions that linger in my mind I m fed up with all the guessing gamesThey ve turned so lame Oh If only I had you chained and tamedWhat a shame...! I don t care if teardrops burn my eyes as they fall for you everytime Cuz it s never close to what my heart feels each time you leave it behind I wish I could strangle you and watch the blood that I love so much drain from your face Then you won t escape my tight embrace...? Ah-Your voice it sounds so faintYet it throbs in my veins I ve heard enough excusesThey re driving me insane My heart beats fast as I learn my fate, it accelerates OhSo worn out by the enormous weightOf love and hate...! What if I knew every answer to my questions right there from the start? It s just that my body shuts them out to keep me from falling apart All I have to do is stand the pain, the sadness, anxiety, and aggravation Then maybe my wounds will be undone...? Please don t you pretend to stumble and get tangled in my silver web Don t you speak in honey words and leave me hoping, tear me into shreds I reach out for proof that I was loved but then my fingers grasp the icy air Tell me why, just why won t you be there? I don t care if teardrops burn my eyes as they fall for you everytime Cuz it s never close to what my heart feels each time you leave it behind Oh I d slit your throat right now and watch the blood that I love so much drain from your face Then you won t escape my tight embrace...? Singable English Lyrics (by rockleetist)： Ah, the water pools the ground. Tranquil, yet this sound is all that I can hear. It s resonating. Ah, you ve broken all of me. My heart an injury that you don t care to mend And I m still waiting. I should have been the one to say that it s goodbye and you know why. When I called to say hello to know that you re alright, Where were you last night? Even if you break my heart a million times it all remains the same. I wish I could tell myself somewhere inside I was the one to blame. If I could force you with this voice of mine to truly make you see You ll be the prisoner of this love with me. Ah, you said so many times. Now I see the lies when you said you loved me. You never meant it. Why do I lose control over these thoughts of you? You know I do. Still, I cannot stop the violent pace of my heartbeat whenever we meet. I already knew I was the only one that saw right through your game. Even if I cried everytime you called me by another s name. If I had a choice to take you by the hand and bring you back to me. I would accept your love - embrace this misery. So don t tell me promises that you and I know that you ll never keep. And don t tell me lies when we both know that over you I m losing sleep. Am I crazy for believing that if I could turn back time, I d be the only one and you d be only mine? Even if you break my heart a million times it all remains the same. I wish I could tell myself somewhere inside I was the one to blame. If I could force you with this voice of mine to truly make you see You ll be the prisoner of this love with me.

How to Draw Obliques - Form 外腹斜筋の描き方 - 形状 https //www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWf7_MUiJCQ http //www.proko.com/how-to-draw-obliques-form/ The external oblique is divided into two very distinct portions. 外腹斜筋は、二つの特徴的な部分に分割されます。 The Thoracic Portion and the Flank Portion. 胸部と側腹パッド部です。 The Thoracic Portion 胸部 The Thoracic Portion is the top half of the oblique. 胸部は、外腹斜筋の上半分です。 The attachments on the ribs create a stair-stepping border that s lower toward the back. 肋骨への付着は、 背面へ下降する、 階段状の境界線を作ります。 This border interdigitates with the serratus anterior muscle and looks like interlocking fingers. この境界線は、 組み合わせた両手の指のように前鋸筋と互いにかみ合います。 The digits of the serratus are more horizontal than the external oblique. 前鋸筋の指状構造は、 外腹斜筋より水平です。 The digits of the thoracic portion are commonly confused with the ribs. 胸部の指状構造は、 肋骨とよく間違えられます。 You can see the forms of one or the other depending on the pose and physique of the model. 皆さんには、ポーズやモデルの体形によって、 外腹斜筋が見えたり肋骨が見えたりするでしょう。 When the muscle is stretched, and when inhaling, individual ribs can easily be seen through the oblique. 筋肉が延ばされ、そして息を吸い込んでいるとき、 外腹斜筋を透かして個々の肋骨を見るのは簡単です。 When the oblique is flexed, its long, tube-like digits overpower and hide the ribs. 外腹斜筋が屈曲しているとき、 その長くてチューブ状の指状構造は 肋骨を圧倒し隠します。 Still not sure what you re looking at? まだあなたが見ているものが何か確信が持てませんか？ !--ここから有料版-- !--ここまで-- The ribs are more horizontal and curve upward where the costal cartilage begins, whereas external oblique bundles are straight and parallel with each other. 外腹斜筋の束が、互いにまっすぐで平行であるのに対して、 肋骨は、肋軟骨が始まるところでは より水平で上へ向かってカーブしています。 They travel downward at a 45 degree angle. それらは下向きに45度の角度で走っています。 You ll see one or the other, never both. 皆さんは、外腹斜筋、もしくは肋骨を 一度に見ることはないでしょう。 The Flank Portion 側腹パッド部 The lower half of the oblique is called the flank portion. 外腹斜筋の下半分は、側腹パッド部と呼ばれています。 The angle of the fibers is more vertical toward the back, directly connecting the rib cage to the pelvis. 筋繊維の角度はより垂直で背面へ向かっており、 肋骨と骨盤を直接つないでいます。 This muscle mass creates an unpopular duo with fat. この筋肉の塊は、脂肪と一緒になって 人気の無い二人組を作ります。 Yeah, I m talking about "muffin tops". そうです、 「マフィントップ」について話しています。 Or as I prefer to call them, the "love handles". または、私はそれを「贅肉」と呼ぶのを好みます。 The basic form resembles a tire or inner tube that you wear around your waist. 基本的な形は、 腰の周りに着けた タイヤ、もしくは浮輪に例えられます。 A tube that stretches and compresses between the rib cage and pelvis. 胸郭と骨盤の間で伸びたり縮んだりするチューブです。 Even on thin individuals and flexing muscle men, the flank portion usually has a smooth, convex form. たとえ細身の人物や、屈曲している筋肉質の人物でも、 側腹パッド部は通常、滑らかで凸型の形をしています。 The local fat smooths over any striations. その部分に於ける脂肪が筋をあいまいにしています。 But of course, there are exceptions. しかしもちろん、例外もあります。 !--ここから有料-- !--ここまで-- Sometimes you ll see a cylindrical continuation of the form along the bottom of the rectus abdominis. 時々、 腹直筋の底に沿って、 連続する円筒形の形を見ることがあります。 This is actually the form of the Internal oblique and transversus abdominis, which we ll learn about in the premium section. これは、実際には、内腹斜筋と腹横筋の形状であり、 そこのことは有料版で議論します。 There s an important difference between the shape of the skeleton and the shape of the flank. 骨の形と、側腹パッド部の形との間には重要な違いがあります。 The oblique inserts onto the external edge of the iliac crest, which makes the border of the oblique lower than the border of the iliac crest. 外腹斜筋は、腸骨稜の外側の縁に停止しています。 そのことが、外腹斜筋の境界を、腸骨稜の境界より下にしています。 This new, lower border has a soft S curve, swooping down under the iliac crest, and then back up wrapping over and to the inside of the ASIS. この新たにできた下の境界は、柔らかなSカーブを持っており、 腸骨稜の下を回り込み、 その後腸骨稜を包みながら上前腸骨棘の内側へ向かいます。 The ASIS proves to be a trustworthy landmark once again, providing a useful reference for constructing the torso. トルソを構築する上で有用な資料を提供しているので 上前腸骨棘が信頼できる目印であることがまた証明されました。 !--ここから有料-- !--ここまで-- So, remember this. ですので、これを覚えておいてください。 You ll see either ribs or muscle striations in the thoracic region. 皆さんは、肋骨と筋肉の筋両方を 胸部で見るでしょう。 The thickest muscle striations are in the middle. 一番太い筋肉の筋は真ん中です。 And you will almost always see a bulge at the flanks. そして、側腹パッド部に於いて ほとんど常に出っ張りを見るでしょう。

Top Script 作者不詳のInduction（催眠誘導）—Hand Shake Method（握手法） Hand Shake Method 握手法 Instructions to hypnotist 催眠家への指示 The following hypnotic induction utilizes all three of the learning modes. The subject will be responding through hearing, seeing, and feelings. Begin with the subject sitting in a comfortable chair. 下記の催眠誘導は、３つの学習モードすべてを利用する。被催眠者は、聞くこと、見ること、感じることを通して反応するだろう。被催眠者を座り心地のよい椅子に座らせて始めること。 Spoken to subject 被催眠者へのことば Would you like to experience the state of hypnosis? (After a yes response, have the subject extend his or her arm to you as though you were going to be shaking hands) 催眠状態を体験したいですか？（イエスの反応の後、あなた（催眠者）に向かって被催眠者に腕をのばさせる。まるでこれから握手でもしようというように） (Take the subjects hand with your right hand while making sure the subjects arm is straight) （被催眠者の手を右手で取り、被催眠者の腕がまっすぐ伸びていることを確認する） I would like you to look at me for just a moment. As you focus your eyes on me, and listen to my voice, I would like you to allow things to take place. しばらくの間、私を見てほしいと思います。あなたの目の焦点が私に合い、私の声に耳をすますと、いろんなことが起きるのをあなたに許してほしいと思います。 (Slowly begin raising and lowering the subjects arm. The up and down movement of the arm should be about three inches each way) （ゆっくり被催眠者の腕を上げ下げし始めよう。腕の上下の動きは、それぞれ３インチ（７〜８センチ）ぐらいがいい）。 As I raise and lower your arm, I wonder if you have noticed yet that there is a drowsy, heavy feeling beginning to occur in and around your eyes. 私があなたの腕を上げたり下ろしたりしていると、眠気と重い感じがあなたの目やそのまわりに生じはじめてることに、あなたはもう気付いているのだろうかと思います。 Each time I raise your arm upward, that heavy feeling in those eyes will keep becoming stronger. あなたの腕を上げる度に、目の重たい感じがどんどん強くなっていきます。 As the eyes begin to close down, it becomes increasingly more desirable to allow them to remain closed. 目が閉じ始めると、目を閉じたままにしておきたい気持ちが、どんどん大きくなっていきます。 They are closing down all the way now. Let it happen. Want it to happen. Feel it happening now. もう目はすっかり閉じようとしています。目がそうなるのにまかせましょう。そうなるまで待ってください。そう、今、目が閉じようしていることを感じてください。 (Make a special note to when the eyes begin to blink or start to close. This will be a signal to reinforce the feeling by raising the arm higher into the air. The subject will quickly associate the raising of the arm with closing of the eyes) （目が瞬きを始めたり、閉じ始めたりするのがいつか、特に注意を払うこと。それが、腕を宙に上げることで生まれる感覚を強化すべきタイミングを示すシグナルである。被催眠者はすばやく腕があがることと目が閉じることを結びつけるだろう）

He began hording much of our taken loot and now his men go hungry. ^^There are many stories about your father's 'legacy', but one is true he believed every man should receive his fair share. dlga_father_bandit_quest father_bandit_quest2|Why are you telling me this? dlga_father_bandit_quest father_bandit_quest2.1|Get to the point old man! dlga_father_bandit_quest2 father_bandit_quest3|I'm telling you this because you are your father's {reg59?daughter son}! And even if you never knew him well, I thought you'd care about his legacy.^^Perhaps I was wrong.... perhaps you're not the one to ware his crown after all. dlga_father_bandit_quest3 father_bandit_quest4|Hmmm, a crown you say? dlga_father_bandit_quest3 father_bandit_quest_no|If you think I'd ever join you, you're mistaken. dlga_father_bandit_quest3 close_window|I've heard enough. Die scum!! dlga_father_bandit_quest_no confirm_no|Are you certain? Once I leave I will never return and I'm offering you a life of freedom and untold riches... dlga_confirm_no father_bandit_quest4|Riches you say? Well then continue. dlga_confirm_no close_window|--Turn and walk away. -- dlga_confirm_no close_window.1|I wonder how much the man-hunters would pay for your head? dlga_father_bandit_quest4 father_bandit_quest_confirm|Oh yes. I knew I was right about you.^^ --he smiles--^^Of course what I'm asking wont be easy, you will be forced to give up any allegiances you have with any kingdom. You will be labeled a bandit and will be hunted by many; and finally there is the small matter of killing Dorca.^^ But the rewards are great also - you will have your own lair, your own ship, no bandits will harm you, and of course... more gold then you can count! dlga_father_bandit_quest_confirm father_bandit_quest_confirm_end|Very well, from this day forth I am an outlaw. dlga_father_bandit_quest_confirm close_window|Actually, forget all this, I don't want to be a bandit. dlga_father_bandit_quest_confirm close_window.1|Actually, I think this place is about to receive another spirit dlga_father_bandit_quest_confirm_end close_window|Excellent...then your first job - GET ME OUT OF HERE IN ONE PIECE! dlga_start start_banditlife|We did it!! You have the makings of a great bandit {playername}... dlga_start_banditlife start_banditlife2|You will have to get used to running from town guards, a bandits life is never easy. Already word is spreading across the {s7} that you're helping bandits. It will not take very long for this news to spread across the rest of the isles. dlga_start_banditlife2 cancel_bandit_life|I think I've made a terrible mistake! dlga_start_banditlife2 start_banditlife3|I knew this choice would be difficult, I stand by it. dlga_start_banditlife3 start_banditlife3b|{playername}! I'm afraid I must interrupt this conversation. You've made a terrible choice siding with these bandits and my cause has lost all validity!{s6} dlga_start_banditlife3b start_banditlife3bcont|Very well, off you go then... dlga_start_banditlife3bcont start_banditlife3|Yes as I was saying.... dlga_start_banditlife3 start_banditlife4|Our first job will be to remove Dorca from his position. I believe the best way to do this is by challenging him to single combat, this is your right as your fathers {reg59?daughter son}. However first I must arrange a ship for you and begin making plans. I suggest you finish any jobs you might have and say your good-bye's to any loved ones before we meet again. dlga_start_banditlife4 start_banditlife5|Where should I meet you when I'm ready? dlga_start_banditlife5 close_window|Once I've secured your ship I will make a safe harbor for it on the coast near Brittern Manor. Meet me there when you're ready. dlga_cancel_bandit_life close_window|Well your a fool then! I'm just happy your father isn't alive to see how foolish their child has become. However its your decision.^^Of course the damage done can not be undone easily, you will have to work at repairing your relations with the {s7}. Farewell {playername}, I wish I could say it was a pleasure meeting you. dlga_start close_window.53|You made it! I was beginning to wonder if you would show after all...^^ I hope you like your ship, it belonged to a friend of mine who owed a debt -it is yours now. I suggest you set sail for Dorca's fort, he has learned of your arrival and will meet with you. Unfortunately this is the last you shall see of me for awhile; I have business to deal with - not to mention Dorca would kill me on sight! But good luck to you {playername} dlga_start close_window.54|I'm going! best not to let the guards see me though. dlga_start fighter_talk|Hello there. We are polishing off our combat skills here with a bit of sparring practice. You look like you could use a bit of training. Why don't you join us, and we can show you a few tricks. And if you need explanation of any combat concepts, just ask, and I will do my best to fill you in. dlga_start fighter_talk.1|What do you want to practice? dlga_fighter_pretalk fighter_talk|Tell me what kind of practice you want. dlga_fighter_talk fighter_talk_train_attack|I want to practice attacking. dlga_fighter_talk fighter_talk_train_parry|I want to practice blocking with my weapon. dlga_fighter_talk fighter_talk_train_combat|Let's do some sparring practice. dlga_fighter_talk close_window|[Leave] dlga_fighter_talk_train_attack fighter_talk_train_attack_2|All right. There are four principle directions for attacking. These are overhead swing, right swing, left swing and thrust. Now, I will tell you which direction to attack from and you must try to do the correct attack. ^^(Move your mouse while you press the left mouse button to specify attack direction. For example, to execute an overhead attack, move the mouse up at the instant you press the left mouse button. The icons on your screen will help you do the correct action.) dlga_fighter_talk_train_attack_2 close_window|Let's begin then. I am ready. dlga_fighter_talk_train_attack_2 fighter_pretalk|Actually I want to do something else. dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry fighter_talk_train_parry_2|Unlike a shield, blocking with a weapon can only stop attacks coming from one direction. For example if you block up, you'll deflect overhead attacks, but you can still be hit by side swings or thrust attacks. ^^(You must press and hold down the right mouse button to block.) dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry_2 fighter_talk_train_parry_3|I'll now attack you with different types of strokes, and I will wait until you do the correct block before attacking. Try to do the correct block as soon as you can. ^^(This practice is easy to do with the 'automatic block direction' setting which is the default. If you go to the Options menu and change defend direction control to 'mouse movement' or 'keyboard', you'll need to manually choose block direction. This is much more challenging, but makes the game much more interesting. This practice can be very useful if you use manual blocking.) dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry_3 close_window|Let's begin then. I am ready. dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry_3 fighter_pretalk|Actually I want to do something else. dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat fighter_talk_train_combat_2|Sparring is an excellent way to prepare for actual combat. We'll fight each other with non-lethal weapons now, until one of us falls to the ground. You can get some bruises of course, but better that than being cut down in the real thing. dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat_2 close_window|Let's begin then. I am ready. dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat_2 fighter_pretalk|Actually I want to do something else. dlga_start fighter_parry_try_again|Good. You were able to block my attacks successfully. You may repeat this practice and try to get faster each time, until you are confident of your defense skills. Do you want to have another go? dlga_start fighter_parry_try_again.1|Well that didn't go too well, did it? (Remember, you must press and hold down the right mouse button to keep your block effective.) Do you want to try again? dlga_fighter_parry_try_again fighter_talk_train_parry|Yes. Let's try again. dlga_fighter_parry_try_again fighter_talk_leave_parry|No, I think I am done for now. dlga_start fighter_parry_warn|Hey! We are doing a blocking practice, mate! You are supposed to block my attacks, not attack me back. dlga_fighter_parry_warn fighter_talk_train_parry|I am sorry. Let's try once again. dlga_fighter_parry_warn fighter_talk_leave_parry|Sorry. I must leave this practice now. dlga_fighter_talk_leave_parry close_window|All right. As you wish. dlga_start fighter_combat_try_again|Well that didn't go too well, did it? Don't feel bad, and try not to do same mistakes next time. Do you want to have a go again? dlga_fighter_combat_try_again fighter_talk_train_combat|Yes. Let's do another round. dlga_fighter_combat_try_again fighter_talk_leave_combat|No. That was enough for me. dlga_fighter_talk_leave_combat close_window|Well, all right. Talk to me again if you change your mind. dlga_start fighter_combat_try_again.1|Hey, that was good sparring. You defeated me, but next time I'll be more careful. Do you want to have a go again? dlga_start fighter_talk.2|Very good. You have learned how to attack from any direction you want. If you like we can try this again or move to a different exercise. dlga_start archer_challenge_2|Not bad. Not bad at all! You seem to have grasped the basics of archery. Now, try to do the same thing with a crossbow. Take the crossbow and the bolts over there and shoot those three targets. The crossbow is much easier to shoot with compared with the bow, but you need to reload it after each shot. dlga_start archer_challenge_2.1|Good. You didn't have too much difficulty using the crossbow either. Next you will learn to use throwing weapons. Pick up the javelins you see over there and try to hit those three targets. dlga_start ranged_end|Well, with that you have received the basic skills to use all three types of ranged weapons. The rest will come with practice. Train each and every day, and in time you will be as good as the best marksmen in the Isles. dlga_ranged_end close_window|Now, you can go talk with the melee fighters or the horsemanship trainer if you haven't already done so. They can teach you important skills too. dlga_start archer_talk|Good day to you, young fellow. I spend my days teaching about ranged weapons to anyone that is willing to learn. If you need a tutor, let me know and I'll teach you how to use the bow, the crossbow and the javelin. dlga_archer_talk archer_challenge|Yes, show me how to use ranged weapons. dlga_archer_talk close_window|No, not now. dlga_archer_challenge archer_challenge_2|All right. Your first training will be in bowmanship. The bow is a difficult weapon to master. But once you are sufficiently good at it, you can shoot quickly and with great power. Go pick up the bow and arrows you see over there now and shoot those targets. dlga_archer_challenge_2 close_window|All right. I am ready. dlga_archer_challenge_2 close_window.1|Just a minute. I want to do something else first. dlga_start horseman_melee_challenge_2|I hope you enjoyed the ride. Now we move on to something a bit more difficult. Grab the lance you see over there and ride around the course hitting each target at least once. dlga_start horseman_melee_challenge_2.1|Good! You have been able to hit all targets on horseback. That's no easy feat for a starter. Your next challenge will be using a bow and arrows to shoot at the archery targets by the road. You need to put an arrow to each target to consider yourself successful. dlga_start horsemanship_end|Very good. You were able to shoot all targets from horseback. Keep riding and practicing each day and in time you will be an expert horseman. dlga_horsemanship_end close_window|Now, you can go talk with the melee fighters or the archery trainer if you haven't already done so. You need to learn everything you can to be prepared when you have to defend yourself. dlga_start horseman_talk|Good day! I have come here for some riding practice, but my old bones are aching badly so I decided to give myself a rest today. If you would like to practice your horsemanship, you can take my horse here. The exercise would be good for her. dlga_horseman_talk horseman_challenge|Yes, I would like to practice riding. dlga_horseman_talk close_window|Uhm. Maybe later. dlga_horseman_challenge horseman_melee_challenge_2|Good. Now, I will give you a few exercises that'll teach you riding and horseback weapon use. Your first assignment is simple. Just take your horse for a ride around the course. Go as slow or as fast as you like. Come back when you feel confident as a rider and I'll give you some tougher exercises. dlga_horseman_melee_challenge_2 close_window|All right. I am ready. dlga_horseman_melee_challenge_2 close_window.1|Just a minute. I need to do something else first. dlga_tutorial_troop_default close_window|Hey, I am trying to practice here. Go, talk with the archery trainer if you need guidance about ranged weapons. dlga_start lord_prison_break_confirm_3|Is there a change of plans? dlga_start lord_prison_break|What's going on? dlga_start drunk_response|What are you looking at? dlga_start drunk_response.1|Are you looking at me? dlga_player_duel_response close_window|Such a waste... dlga_player_duel_response close_window.1|Better him than me dlga_drunk_response drunk_fight_start|I'm not sure... Some sort of animal, clearly dlga_drunk_response drunk_fight_start.1|Excuse me -- please accept my apologies dlga_drunk_fight_start close_window|I'll wipe that smirk right off your face! dlga_drunk_response drunk_player_high_renown|Do you have any idea who I am? dlga_drunk_player_high_renown drunk_fight_start|Do I care? dlga_drunk_player_high_renown drunk_player_high_renown|Emmm... Actually... Yes, yes, I do know who you are, {reg59?madam sir}. Please forgive me, your grace -- it must be the drink. I'll be leaving, now... dlga_drunk_player_high_renown drunk_fight_start.1|Why, if you want a fight, you shall have one! dlga_drunk_player_high_renown close_window|I thought as much. Now, remove yourself from here dlga_start fistfight_response|You look like a {reg59?lady fellow} who can take a few hard knocks -- and deal them out, too. I have a business proposition for you. dlga_fistfight_response fistfight_response_2|How's that? dlga_fistfight_response_2 fistfight_response_2a|Good -- I'm glad you're interested. Here's the plan... It's a little complicated, so listen well. dlga_fistfight_response_2a fistfight_response_3|You and this other fellow will start up a fight here. No weapons, no armor -- I'll sit back and take bets, and split the profits with the winner. If we make a loss, then I'll cover it. You've got nothing to lose -- except a bit of blood, of course. dlga_fistfight_response_3 fistfight_response_4|However, we can't organize this like one of those nice arena bouts, where everyone places their bets beforehand. People will walk in, drawn by the noise, and put a denar or two on whichever one of your two they think is winning. I'll give 'em even odds -- anything else is going to be too tricky for someone who's already on his third flagon of ale. dlga_fistfight_response_4 fistfight_response_4a|So, as you can see, the trick is to stretch things out for as long as possible where it looks like you're losing, and people bet against you -- and then come back fast, and win, before the betting can turn. The best way to make money is for you to be battered almost to the floor, and then jump back off your feet and take the other guy down. However, you have to win in the end in order for me, and you, to make money. dlga_fistfight_response_4a fistfight_response_5|Also, you can't stretch the fight out too long, or people will suspect a fix. So, one of you has to take a punch every so often. I don't care whose blood is spilled, but there has to be some blood. dlga_fistfight_response_5 fistfight_response_5a|And one other thing -- my mate, your opponent, he doesn't take to well to complexity. So he's just going to come straight at you. It's up to you to supply the artistry. dlga_fistfight_response_5a fistfight_response_confirm|So, what do you think? dlga_fistfight_response_confirm close_window.1|I have better things to do dlga_start ramun_introduce_1|Good day to you, {reg59?lassie young man}. dlga_ramun_introduce_1 ramun_introduce_2|Forgive me, you look like a trader, but I see none of your merchandise. dlga_ramun_introduce_1 close_window|Never mind. dlga_ramun_introduce_2 ramun_introduce_3|A trader? Oh, aye, I certainly am that. My merchandise is a bit different from most, however. It has to be fed and watered twice a day and tries to run away if I turn my back. dlga_ramun_introduce_3 ramun_introduce_4|Livestock? dlga_ramun_introduce_4 ramun_introduce_5|Close enough. I like to call myself the man who keeps every boat on this ocean moving. Boats are driven by oars, you see, and oars need men to pull them or they stop. That's where I come in. dlga_ramun_introduce_5 ramun_introduce_6|Galley slaves. dlga_ramun_introduce_6 ramun_introduce_7|Now you're catching on! A trading port like this couldn't survive without them. The ships lose a few hands on every voyage, so there's always a high demand. The captains come to me and they pay well. dlga_ramun_introduce_7 ramun_introduce_8|Where do the slaves come from? dlga_ramun_introduce_8 ramun_introduce_9|Mostly I deal in convicted criminals bought from the authorities. Others are prisoners of war from various nations, brought to me because I offer the best prices. However, on occasion I'll buy from privateers and other . . . 'individuals'. You can't be picky about your suppliers in this line of work. You wouldn't happen to have any prisoners with you, would you? dlga_ramun_introduce_9 ramun_introduce_10|Me? dlga_ramun_introduce_10 ramun_introduce_11|Why not? If you intend to set foot outside this town, you're going to cross swords with someone sooner or later. And, God willing, you'll come out on top. Why not make some extra money off the whole thing? Take them alive, bring them back to me, and I'll pay you fifty coins for each head. Don't much care who they are or where they come from. dlga_ramun_introduce_11 ramun_introduce_12|Hmm. I'll think about it. dlga_ramun_introduce_12 close_window|Do think about it! There's a lot of silver to be made, no mistake. More than enough for the both of us. dlga_start ramun_talk|Hello, {playername}. dlga_ramun_pre_talk ramun_talk|Anything else? dlga_ramun_talk ramun_sell_prisoners|I've brought you some prisoners, Ramun. Would you like a look? dlga_ramun_sell_prisoners ramun_sell_prisoners_2|Let me see what you have... dlga_ramun_sell_prisoners_2 close_window|A pleasure doing business with you. dlga_ramun_talk ramun_ask_about_capturing|How do I take somebody as prisoner? dlga_ramun_talk ramun_ask_about_capturing.1|Can you tell me again about capturing prisoners? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing ramun_have_blunt_weapon|You're new to this, aren't you? Let me explain it in simple terms. The basic rule of taking someone prisoner is knocking him down with a blunt weapon, like a mace or a club, rather than cutting him open with a sword. That way he goes to sleep for a little while rather than bleeding to death, you see? I'm assuming you have a blunt weapon with you . . . dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes|Of course. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no|As a matter of fact, I don't. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes ramun_ask_about_capturing_2|Good. Then all you need to do is beat the bugger down with your weapon, and when the fighting's over you clap him in irons. It's a bit different for nobles and such, they tend to be protected enough that it won't matter what kind of weapon you use, but your average rabble-rouser will bleed like a stuck pig if you get him with something sharp. I don't have many requirements in my merchandise, but I do insist they be breathing when I buy them. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no_2|No? Heh, well, this must be your lucky day. I've got an old club lying around that I was going to throw away. It a bit battered, but still good enough bash someone until he stops moving. Here, have it. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no_2 ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes|Thanks, Ramun. Perhaps I may try my hand at it. dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing ramun_ask_about_capturing_2|Alright, I'll try and explain it again in simple terms. The basic rule of taking someone prisoner is knocking him down with a blunt weapon, like a mace or a club, rather than cutting him open with a sword. That way he goes to sleep for a little while rather than bleeding to death, you see? It's a bit different for nobles and such, they tend to be protected enough that it won't matter what kind of weapon you use, but your average rabble-rouser will bleed like a stuck pig if you get him with something sharp. dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_2 ramun_ask_about_capturing_3|Alright, I think I understand. Anything else? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_3 ramun_ask_about_capturing_4|Well, it's not as simple as all that. Blunt weapons don't do as much damage as sharp ones, so they won't bring your enemies down as quickly. And trust me, given the chance, most of the scum you run across would just as soon kill you as look at you, so don't expect any courtesy when you pull out a club instead of a sword. Moreover, having to drag prisoners to and fro will slow down your party, which is why some people simply set their prisoners free after the fighting's done. It's madness. How could anyone turn down all that silver, eh? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_4 ramun_ask_about_capturing_5|Is that everything? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_5 ramun_ask_about_capturing_7|Just one final thing. Managing prisoners safely is not an easy thing to do, you could call it a skill in itself. If you want to capture a lot of prisoners, you should try and learn the tricks of it yourself, or you won't be able to hang on to a single man you catch. dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_7 ramun_pre_talk|Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. dlga_ramun_talk ramun_leave|I'd better be going. dlga_ramun_leave close_window|Remember, any prisoners you've got, bring them to me. I'll pay you good silver for every one. dlga_start merc_camp1|Greetings {s6}, Why have you come to Deywr? dlga_merc_pre_talk merc_camp1|Yes? dlga_merc_camp1 merc_hire|I have come to hire you. dlga_merc_camp1 merc_info|What type of camp is this? dlga_merc_camp1 close_window|No reason, I should go dlga_merc_camp1 merc_end_contract|I would like to end our current contract dlga_merc_info merc_questions|This is the chief northern camp of the laeti, but don't worry, unlike our brothers in the South we have no interest in rebellion.

Well.... I guess you're alive, at any rate. I'm not sure that we can say the same for the other fellow. That's one less thief to trouble our streets at night, although Heaven knows he won't be the last.... Anyway, maybe you can help me with something. Let's talk more inside. Out here, we don't know who's listening dlga_start merchant_quest_2a|Splendid work. You have hired enough men to take on the bandits. Now -- travellers entering {s9} have told us that there is a small group of robbers lurking on the outside of town. I suspect that they are all from the same band, the one that took my brother. Hunt them down and defeat them, and make them disclose the location of their lair! dlga_start merchant_quest_3a|So, you've found out where they hid my brother? Splendid work. I flatter myself that I'm a fine judge of character, and you look to be a {reg59?woman man} who can get things done. Now, go out and save his unworthy hide! dlga_start merchant_quest_3b|Well... My brother is home safe. I'm not sure what to do with him -- maybe pack him off to a university outside these lands. That way, if he gets knocked on the head in a street brawl, no one can say it's my fault. But that's not your problem. Here's the rest of your reward. It was well-earned. dlga_merchant_quest_3b merchant_quest_4a|The money is most welcome, and I am glad to have been of service dlga_merchant_quest_4a merchant_quest_4b|Good! Now... Are you interested in making some more? dlga_merchant_quest_4b merchant_quest_4b1|Possibly. What do you need? dlga_merchant_quest_4b1 merchant_quest_4b2|Remember how I told you that the bandits had an ally inside the walls? I think I know who it is -- the captain of the watch, no less. Some months ago this captain, seeing the amount of profit we merchants were making from trade across the frontiers, decided to borrow some money to sponsor a caravan. Unfortunately, like many who are new to commerce, he failed to realize that great profit only comes with great risk. So he sank all his money into the most expensive commodities, and of course his caravan was captured and looted, and he lost everything. dlga_merchant_quest_4b2 merchant_quest_4b3|As a consequence, it seems, our captain turned to villainy to recoup his fortune. I supposed I'd do the same if, the Heavens forbid, I ever faced indebtedness and ruination. Now, any watch captain worth his salary will have a few thieves and robbers on his payroll, to inform on the rest, but our captain decides to employ these bastards wholesale. He brings them into the town, lets them do as they will, and takes a share of their take. You've heard of poachers turning gamekeepers? Well, in the unfortunate land of these, sometimes gamekeepers will turn poacher. Luckily, there's are still a few brave, honest souls in the watch who've told me how he works. dlga_merchant_quest_4b3 merchant_quest_4b4|Now -- here's my plan. I could bring this to the attention of {s4}, lord of the city, but that would mean an inquiry, my word against the captain's, and witnesses can be bought and evidence destroyed, or maybe the whole thing will be forgotten if the enemy comes across the border again, and all I'll get for my trouble is a knife in the ribs. In time of war, you see, a king's eye wanders far from his domain, and his subjects suffer. So I've got another idea. I've got a small group of townsfolk together, some men in my employ and some others who've lost relatives to these bandits, and we'll storm the captain's home and bring him in chains before {s4}, hopefully with a few captured bandits to explain how things stack up. dlga_merchant_quest_4b4 merchant_quest_4b5|All I need now is someone to lead my little army into battle -- and I can't think of anyone better than you. So, what do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_4b5 merchant_quest_4b6|How do I know that you're telling me the truth? dlga_merchant_quest_4b6 merchant_quest_4b7|Oh, well, I suppose it's possible that I found a dozen bandits who were willing to give their lives to give a passing stranger a false impression of life in old {s4}... Well, I guess you can't really know if my word is good, but I reckon you've learned by now that my money is good, and there's another 100 coins, or maybe a bit more, that's waiting for you if you'll do me this last little favor. So what do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_4b7 merchant_quest_4b8|All right. I'll lead your men. dlga_merchant_quest_4b7 merchant_quest_4_decline|I'm sorry. This is too much, too fast. I need time to think. dlga_merchant_quest_4b8 merchant_quest_4b9|Splendid. It's been a long time since I staked so much on a single throw of the dice, and frankly I find it exhilarating. My men are ready to move on your word. Are you ready? dlga_merchant_quest_4b9 merchant_quest_4_accept|Yes. Give them the sign. dlga_merchant_quest_4b9 merchant_quest_4_decline|Not now. I will need to rest before I can fight again. dlga_merchant_quest_4_accept close_window|Good! Now -- strike hard, strike fast, and the captain and his henchmen won't know what hit them. May the heavens be with you! dlga_merchant_quest_4_decline close_window|Right. I can keep my men standing by. If you let this go too long, then I suppose that I shall have to finish this affair without you, but I would be most pleased if you could be part of it as well.

I shall hunt for bandits. dlga_merchant_quest_2a merchant_quest_2a_whynotcome|Why don't you come with us? dlga_merchant_quest_2a_whynotcome merchant_quest_2a|Because I'm paying you to go take care of it. That's the short answer. The long answer is that I've got some leads to follow up here in town, and I have just as much chance of getting knocked on my head as you, if that's what you're asking. But I respect your question. Now, what do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_2a close_window.1|I cannot deal with this matter at this time. dlga_merchant_quest_3a close_window|Very well.

Thank the heavens... Am I safe? dlga_start merchant_closing_statement_2|Ah... {playername}. Things didn't go quite so well as I had hoped. {s5} couldn't quite find it in him to overlook my little breach of the peace. Oh, he's grateful enough that I got rid of his crooked captain -- a guard who'll let in bandits will let in an enemy army, if the price is right -- but he can't exactly have me running around here as a lasting reminder of his failure to take care of things himself. dlga_merchant_closing_statement_2 merchant_closing_statement_3|That hardly seems fair... dlga_merchant_closing_statement_3 merchant_closing_statement_4|Fair? This is the Isles, {reg59?my lady my boy}! Kings do what they will, and the rest of us do as they must. He didn't string me up, and instead gave me time to sell my properties -- even put in a word with the other merchants that they best pay me a fair price, too. That's gracious enough, as kings go -- but he's a weak king, as they all are here, and weak kings must always look to their authority first, and justice second. I suppose I'd do the same, in his shoes. dlga_merchant_closing_statement_4 close_window|Anyway, I wouldn't go rubbing your part in this affair in {s5}'s face -- but he's taken note of you, and decided that you're not worth hanging, and that's something to which I'll raise a glass any day of the week. He might even have work for you, further down the road. Or, you can sell your sword to one of his competitors.

First the lowest form is called Confederate partition, and it is what all kingdoms start with, Confederate partition means a kingdom can be divided up to three times upon a rulers death. The lands being divided up between their children and or even their eldest brother of course. Though not great for forging empires, it is the most fair as the rulers wealth is also split between their descendants equally. dlga_ash_chance_laws_infob2 ash_chance_laws_infoc2|Still with me my {reg59?lady lord}? The next form of partition, regular partition is similar to Confederate, the main difference is that brothers are no longer included in the succession if there are sons. Also the main heir -- the heir maintaining the original title -- keeps the majority of the vessels and has a larger share of their families wealth. dlga_ash_chance_laws_infoc2 dplmc_chancellor_pretalk|The next level, High Partition is much simpler then the other two, basicly here only the second eldest child will be granted a partition, and it will be more a small county over major lands. They will also be allies and tributaries of their elder sibling.^^ Of course, there has been some talk about doing away with these laws all together and going with a single heir, for now this is only talk and it will probably be much later before such ideas can be implemented. dlga_ash_chance_laws dplmc_chancellor_pretalk|I'm afraid only your liege can do this my {reg59?lady lord}. dlga_ash_chance_laws dplmc_chancellor_pretalk.1|At present this kingdom has already done away with their partition laws, here a sole heir inherits the kingdom. dlga_ash_chance_laws dplmc_chancellor_pretalk.2|A good idea your majesty, however I don't think these lands are ready for such a change, perhaps in a few more years when we have discovered the inner workings of the laws...I think we'll need to wait until at least the year 508. dlga_ash_chance_laws dplmc_chancellor_pretalk.3|Unfortunately you already called a vote on these laws recently, I do think we'll have to wait at least a month between changes of this improtance dlga_ash_chance_laws ash_chance_laws2|Very good, what shall be our new partition laws? dlga_ash_chance_laws2 ash_chance_laws_regular_partition|Change from Confederate partition to Regular partition dlga_ash_chance_laws2 ash_chance_laws_high_partition|Change from Regular partition to High partition dlga_ash_chance_laws2 ash_chance_laws_conf_partition|Change from Regular partition to Confederate partition dlga_ash_chance_laws2 ash_chance_laws_regular_partition.1|Change from High partition to Regular partition dlga_ash_chance_laws2 ash_chance_laws_do_away|Change to single inheritance and do away with partition laws forever dlga_ash_chance_laws2 dplmc_chancellor_pretalk|Never-mind dlga_ash_chance_laws_regular_partition dplmc_chancellor_pretalk|Sorry your majesty, but as our current culture is Brittonic, we will have to wait even longer to change our laws, it appears our people really favor equality when it comes to inheritance and I don't see them changing their minds before the year 520 at least...^^You will have to wait, or change our kingdoms culture. dlga_ash_chance_laws_regular_partition dplmc_chancellor_pretalk.1|Very good.

CHAPTER XXVII UP CHAPTER XXIX CHAPTER XXVIII An Unfortunate Lily Maid "OF course you must be Elaine, Anne," said Diana. "I could never have the courage to float down there." "Nor I," said Ruby Gillis, with a shiver. "I don t mind floating down when there s two or three of us in the flat and we can sit up. It s fun then. But to lie down and pretend I was dead--I just couldn t. I d die really of fright." "Of course it would be romantic," conceded Jane Andrews, "but I know I couldn t keep still. I d be popping up every minute or so to see where I was and if I wasn t drifting too far out. And you know, Anne, that would spoil the effect." "But it s so ridiculous to have a redheaded Elaine," mourned Anne. "I m not afraid to float down and I d love to be Elaine. But it s ridiculous just the same. Ruby ought to be Elaine because she is so fair and has such lovely long golden hair-- Elaine had `all her bright hair streaming down, you know. And Elaine was the lily maid. Now, a red-haired person cannot be a lily maid." "Your complexion is just as fair as Ruby s," said Diana earnestly, "and your hair is ever so much darker than it used to be before you cut it." "Oh, do you really think so?" exclaimed Anne, flushing sensitively with delight. "I ve sometimes thought it was myself--but I never dared to ask anyone for fear she would tell me it wasn t. Do you think it could be called auburn now, Diana?" "Yes, and I think it is real pretty," said Diana, looking admiringly at the short, silky curls that clustered over Anne s head and were held in place by a very jaunty black velvet ribbon and bow. They were standing on the bank of the pond, below Orchard Slope, where a little headland fringed with birches ran out from the bank; at its tip was a small wooden platform built out into the water for the convenience of fishermen and duck hunters. Ruby and Jane were spending the midsummer afternoon with Diana, and Anne had come over to play with them. Anne and Diana had spent most of their playtime that summer on and about the pond. Idlewild was a thing of the past, Mr. Bell having ruthlessly cut down the little circle of trees in his back pasture in the spring. Anne had sat among the stumps and wept, not without an eye to the romance of it; but she was speedily consoled, for, after all, as she and Diana said, big girls of thirteen, going on fourteen, were too old for such childish amusements as playhouses, and there were more fascinating sports to be found about the pond. It was splendid to fish for trout over the bridge and the two girls learned to row themselves about in the little flat-bottomed dory Mr. Barry kept for duck shooting. It was Anne s idea that they dramatize Elaine. They had studied Tennyson s poem in school the preceding winter, the Superintendent of Education having prescribed it in the English course for the Prince Edward Island schools. They had analyzed and parsed it and torn it to pieces in general until it was a wonder there was any meaning at all left in it for them, but at least the fair lily maid and Lancelot and Guinevere and King Arthur had become very real people to them, and Anne was devoured by secret regret that she had not been born in Camelot. Those days, she said, were so much more romantic than the present. Anne s plan was hailed with enthusiasm. The girls had discovered that if the flat were pushed off from the landing place it would drift down with the current under the bridge and finally strand itself on another headland lower down which ran out at a curve in the pond. They had often gone down like this and nothing could be more convenient for playing Elaine. "Well, I ll be Elaine," said Anne, yielding reluctantly, for, although she would have been delighted to play the principal character, yet her artistic sense demanded fitness for it and this, she felt, her limitations made impossible. "Ruby, you must be King Arthur and Jane will be Guinevere and Diana must be Lancelot. But first you must be the brothers and the father. We can t have the old dumb servitor because there isn t room for two in the flat when one is lying down. We must pall the barge all its length in blackest samite. That old black shawl of your mother s will be just the thing, Diana." The black shawl having been procured, Anne spread it over the flat and then lay down on the bottom, with closed eyes and hands folded over her breast. "Oh, she does look really dead," whispered Ruby Gillis nervously, watching the still, white little face under the flickering shadows of the birches. "It makes me feel frightened, girls. Do you suppose it s really right to act like this? Mrs. Lynde says that all play-acting is abominably wicked." "Ruby, you shouldn t talk about Mrs. Lynde," said Anne severely. "It spoils the effect because this is hundreds of years before Mrs. Lynde was born. Jane, you arrange this. It s silly for Elaine to be talking when she s dead." Jane rose to the occasion. Cloth of gold for coverlet there was none, but an old piano scarf of yellow Japanese crepe was an excellent substitute. A white lily was not obtainable just then, but the effect of a tall blue iris placed in one of Anne s folded hands was all that could be desired. "Now, she s all ready," said Jane. "We must kiss her quiet brows and, Diana, you say, `Sister, farewell forever, and Ruby, you say, `Farewell, sweet sister, both of you as sorrowfully as you possibly can. Anne, for goodness sake smile a little. You know Elaine `lay as though she smiled. That s better. Now push the flat off." The flat was accordingly pushed off, scraping roughly over an old embedded stake in the process. Diana and Jane and Ruby only waited long enough to see it caught in the current and headed for the bridge before scampering up through the woods, across the road, and down to the lower headland where, as Lancelot and Guinevere and the King, they were to be in readiness to receive the lily maid. For a few minutes Anne, drifting slowly down, enjoyed the romance of her situation to the full. Then something happened not at all romantic. The flat began to leak. In a very few moments it was necessary for Elaine to scramble to her feet, pick up her cloth of gold coverlet and pall of blackest samite and gaze blankly at a big crack in the bottom of her barge through which the water was literally pouring. That sharp stake at the landing had torn off the strip of batting nailed on the flat. Anne did not know this, but it did not take her long to realize that she was in a dangerous plight. At this rate the flat would fill and sink long before it could drift to the lower headland. Where were the oars? Left behind at the landing! Anne gave one gasping little scream which nobody ever heard; she was white to the lips, but she did not lose her self-possession. There was one chance--just one. "I was horribly frightened," she told Mrs. Allan the next day, "and it seemed like years while the flat was drifting down to the bridge and the water rising in it every moment. I prayed, Mrs. Allan, most earnestly, but I didn t shut my eyes to pray, for I knew the only way God could save me was to let the flat float close enough to one of the bridge piles for me to climb up on it. You know the piles are just old tree trunks and there are lots of knots and old branch stubs on them. It was proper to pray, but I had to do my part by watching out and right well I knew it. I just said, `Dear God, please take the flat close to a pile and I ll do the rest, over and over again. Under such circumstances you don t think much about making a flowery prayer. But mine was answered, for the flat bumped right into a pile for a minute and I flung the scarf and the shawl over my shoulder and scrambled up on a big providential stub. And there I was, Mrs. Allan, clinging to that slippery old pile with no way of getting up or down. It was a very unromantic position, but I didn t think about that at the time. You don t think much about romance when you have just escaped from a watery grave. I said a grateful prayer at once and then I gave all my attention to holding on tight, for I knew I should probably have to depend on human aid to get back to dry land." The flat drifted under the bridge and then promptly sank in midstream. Ruby, Jane, and Diana, already awaiting it on the lower headland, saw it disappear before their very eyes and had not a doubt but that Anne had gone down with it. For a moment they stood still, white as sheets, frozen with horror at the tragedy; then, shrieking at the tops of their voices, they started on a frantic run up through the woods, never pausing as they crossed the main road to glance the way of the bridge. Anne, clinging desperately to her precarious foothold, saw their flying forms and heard their shrieks. Help would soon come, but meanwhile her position was a very uncomfortable one. The minutes passed by, each seeming an hour to the unfortunate lily maid. Why didn t somebody come? Where had the girls gone? Suppose they had fainted, one and all! Suppose nobody ever came! Suppose she grew so tired and cramped that she could hold on no longer! Anne looked at the wicked green depths below her, wavering with long, oily shadows, and shivered. Her imagination began to suggest all manner of gruesome possibilities to her. Then, just as she thought she really could not endure the ache in her arms and wrists another moment, Gilbert Blythe came rowing under the bridge in Harmon Andrews s dory! Gilbert glanced up and, much to his amazement, beheld a little white scornful face looking down upon him with big, frightened but also scornful gray eyes. "Anne Shirley! How on earth did you get there?" he exclaimed. Without waiting for an answer he pulled close to the pile and extended his hand. There was no help for it; Anne, clinging to Gilbert Blythe s hand, scrambled down into the dory, where she sat, drabbled and furious, in the stern with her arms full of dripping shawl and wet crepe. It was certainly extremely difficult to be dignified under the circumstances! "What has happened, Anne?" asked Gilbert, taking up his oars. "We were playing Elaine" explained Anne frigidly, without even looking at her rescuer, "and I had to drift down to Camelot in the barge--I mean the flat. The flat began to leak and I climbed out on the pile. The girls went for help. Will you be kind enough to row me to the landing?" Gilbert obligingly rowed to the landing and Anne, disdaining assistance, sprang nimbly on shore. "I m very much obliged to you," she said haughtily as she turned away. But Gilbert had also sprung from the boat and now laid a detaining hand on her arm. "Anne," he said hurriedly, "look here. Can t we be good friends? I m awfully sorry I made fun of your hair that time. I didn t mean to vex you and I only meant it for a joke. Besides, it s so long ago. I think your hair is awfully pretty now--honest I do. Let s be friends." For a moment Anne hesitated. She had an odd, newly awakened consciousness under all her outraged dignity that the half-shy, half-eager expression in Gilbert s hazel eyes was something that was very good to see. Her heart gave a quick, queer little beat. But the bitterness of her old grievance promptly stiffened up her wavering determination. That scene of two years before flashed back into her recollection as vividly as if it had taken place yesterday. Gilbert had called her "carrots" and had brought about her disgrace before the whole school. Her resentment, which to other and older people might be as laughable as its cause, was in no whit allayed and softened by time seemingly. She hated Gilbert Blythe! She would never forgive him! "No," she said coldly, "I shall never be friends with you, Gilbert Blythe; and I don t want to be!" "All right!" Gilbert sprang into his skiff with an angry color in his cheeks. "I ll never ask you to be friends again, Anne Shirley. And I don t care either!" He pulled away with swift defiant strokes, and Anne went up the steep, ferny little path under the maples. She held her head very high, but she was conscious of an odd feeling of regret. She almost wished she had answered Gilbert differently. Of course, he had insulted her terribly, but still--! Altogether, Anne rather thought it would be a relief to sit down and have a good cry. She was really quite unstrung, for the reaction from her fright and cramped clinging was making itself felt. Halfway up the path she met Jane and Diana rushing back to the pond in a state narrowly removed from positive frenzy. They had found nobody at Orchard Slope, both Mr. and Mrs. Barry being away. Here Ruby Gillis had succumbed to hysterics, and was left to recover from them as best she might, while Jane and Diana flew through the Haunted Wood and across the brook to Green Gables. There they had found nobody either, for Marilla had gone to Carmody and Matthew was making hay in the back field. "Oh, Anne," gasped Diana, fairly falling on the former s neck and weeping with relief and delight, "oh, Anne--we thought--you were--drowned--and we felt like murderers--because we had made--you be--Elaine. And Ruby is in hysterics--oh, Anne, how did you escape?" "I climbed up on one of the piles," explained Anne wearily, "and Gilbert Blythe came along in Mr. Andrews s dory and brought me to land." "Oh, Anne, how splendid of him! Why, it s so romantic!" said Jane, finding breath enough for utterance at last. "Of course you ll speak to him after this." "Of course I won t," flashed Anne, with a momentary return of her old spirit. "And I don t want ever to hear the word `romantic again, Jane Andrews. I m awfully sorry you were so frightened, girls. It is all my fault. I feel sure I was born under an unlucky star. Everything I do gets me or my dearest friends into a scrape. We ve gone and lost your father s flat, Diana, and I have a presentiment that we ll not be allowed to row on the pond any more." Anne s presentiment proved more trustworthy than presentiments are apt to do. Great was the consternation in the Barry and Cuthbert households when the events of the afternoon became known. "Will you ever have any sense, Anne?" groaned Marilla. "Oh, yes, I think I will, Marilla," returned Anne optimistically. A good cry, indulged in the grateful solitude of the east gable, had soothed her nerves and restored her to her wonted cheerfulness. "I think my prospects of becoming sensible are brighter now than ever." "I don t see how," said Marilla. "Well," explained Anne, "I ve learned a new and valuable lesson today. Ever since I came to Green Gables I ve been making mistakes, and each mistake has helped to cure me of some great shortcoming. The affair of the amethyst brooch cured me of meddling with things that didn t belong to me. The Haunted Wood mistake cured me of letting my imagination run away with me. The liniment cake mistake cured me of carelessness in cooking. Dyeing my hair cured me of vanity. I never think about my hair and nose now--at least, very seldom. And today s mistake is going to cure me of being too romantic. I have come to the conclusion that it is no use trying to be romantic in Avonlea. It was probably easy enough in towered Camelot hundreds of years ago, but romance is not appreciated now. I feel quite sure that you will soon see a great improvement in me in this respect, Marilla." "I m sure I hope so," said Marilla skeptically. But Matthew, who had been sitting mutely in his corner, laid a hand on Anne s shoulder when Marilla had gone out. "Don t give up all your romance, Anne," he whispered shyly, "a little of it is a good thing--not too much, of course--but keep a little of it, Anne, keep a little of it."

The Treaty includes no provisions for the economic rehabilitation of Europe,—nothing to make the defeated Central Empires into good neighbors, nothing to stabilize the new States of Europe, nothing to reclaim Russia; nor does it promote in any way a compact of economic solidarity amongst the Allies themselves; no arrangement was reached at Paris for restoring the disordered finances of France and Italy, or to adjust the systems of the Old World and the New. The Council of Four paid no attention to these issues, being preoccupied with others,—Clemenceau to crush the economic life of his enemy, Lloyd George to do a deal and bring home something which would pass muster for a week, the President to do nothing that was not just and right. It is an extraordinary fact that the fundamental economic problems of a Europe starving and disintegrating before their eyes, was the one question in which it was impossible to arouse the interest of the Four. Reparation was their main excursion into the economic field, and they settled it as a problem of theology, of polities, of electoral chicane, from every point of view except that of the economic future of the States whose destiny they were handling. I leave, from this point onwards, Paris, the Conference, and the Treaty, briefly to consider the present situation of Europe, as the War and the Peace have made it; and it will no longer be part of my purpose to distinguish between the inevitable fruits of the War and the avoidable misfortunes of the Peace. The essential facts of the situation, as I see them, are expressed simply. Europe consists of the densest aggregation of population in the history of the world. This population is accustomed to a relatively high standard of life, in which, even now, some sections of it anticipate improvement rather than deterioration. In relation to other continents Europe is not self-sufficient; in particular it cannot feed Itself. Internally the population is not evenly distributed, but much of it is crowded into a relatively small number of dense industrial centers. This population secured for itself a livelihood before the war, without much margin of surplus, by means of a delicate and immensely complicated organization, of which the foundations were supported by coal, iron, transport, and an unbroken supply of imported food and raw materials from other continents. By the destruction of this organization and the interruption of the stream of supplies, a part of this population is deprived of its means of livelihood. Emigration is not open to the redundant surplus. For it would take years to transport them overseas, even, which is not the case, if countries could be found which were ready to receive them. The danger confronting us, therefore, is the rapid depression of the standard of life of the European populations to a point which will mean actual starvation for some (a point already reached in Russia and approximately reached in Austria). Men will not always die quietly. For starvation, which brings to some lethargy and a helpless despair, drives other temperaments to the nervous instability of hysteria and to a mad despair. And these in their distress may overturn the remnants of organization, and submerge civilization itself in their attempts to satisfy desperately the overwhelming needs of the individual. This is the danger against which all our resources and courage and idealism must now co-operate. On the 13th May, 1919, Count Brockdorff-Rantzau addressed to the Peace Conference of the Allied and Associated Powers the Report of the German Economic Commission charged with the study of the effect of the conditions of Peace on the situation of the German population. "In the course of the last two generations," they reported, "Germany has become transformed from an agricultural State to an industrial State. So long as she was an agricultural State, Germany could feed forty million inhabitants. As an industrial State she could insure the means of subsistence for a population of sixty-seven millions; and in 1913 the importation of foodstuffs amounted, in round figures, to twelve million tons. Before the war a total of fifteen million persons in Germany provided for their existence by foreign trade, navigation, and the use, directly or indirectly, of foreign raw material." After rehearsing the main relevant provisions of the Peace Treaty the report continues "After this diminution of her products, after the economic depression resulting from the loss of her colonies, her merchant fleet and her foreign investments, Germany will not he in a position to import from abroad an adequate quantity of raw material. An enormous part of German industry will, therefore, be condemned inevitably to destruction. The need of importing foodstuffs will increase considerably at the same time that the possibility of satisfying this demand is as greatly diminished. In a very short time, therefore, Germany will not be in a position to give bread and work to her numerous millions of inhabitants, who are prevented from earning their livelihood by navigation and trade. These persons should emigrate, but this is a material impossibility, all the more because many countries and the most important ones will oppose any German immigration. To put the Peace conditions into execution would logically involve, therefore, the loss of several millions of persons in Germany. This catastrophe would not be long in coming about, seeing that the health of the population has been broken down during the War by the Blockade, and during the Armistice by the aggravation of the Blockade of famine. No help, however great, or over however long a period it were continued, could prevent those deaths en masse." "We do not know, and indeed we doubt," the report concludes, "whether the Delegates of the Allied and. Associated Powers realize the inevitable consequences which will take place if Germany, an industrial State, very thickly populated, closely bound up with the economic system of the world, and under the necessity of importing enormous quantities of raw material and foodstuffs, suddenly finds herself pushed back to the phase of her development, which corresponds to her economic condition and the numbers of her population as they were half a century ago. Those who sign this Treaty will sign the death sentence of many millions of German men, women and children." I know of no adequate answer to these words. The indictment is at least as true of the Austrian, as of the German, settlement. This is the fundamental problem in front of us, before which questions of territorial adjustment and the balance of European power are insignificant. Some of the catastrophes of past history, which have thrown back human progress for centuries, have been due to the reactions following on the sudden termination, whether in the course of nature or by the act of man, of temporarily favorable conditions which have permitted the growth of population beyond what could be provided for when the favorable conditions were at an end. The significant features of the immediate situation can be grouped under three heads first, the absolute falling off, for the time being, in Europe s internal productivity; second, the breakdown of transport and exchange by means of which its products could be conveyed where they were most wanted; and third, the inability of Europe to purchase its usual supplies from overseas. The decrease of productivity cannot be easily estimated, and may be the subject of exaggeration. But the primâ facie evidence of it is overwhelming, and this factor has been the main burden of Mr. Hoover s well-considered warnings. A variety of causes have produced it;—violent and prolonged internal disorder as in Russia and Hungary; the creation of new governments and their inexperience in the readjustment of economic relations, as in Poland and Czecho-Slovakia; the loss throughout the Continent of efficient labor, through the casualties of war or the continuance of mobilization; the falling-off in efficiency through continued underfeeding in the Central Empires; the exhaustion of the soil from lack of the usual applications of artificial manures throughout the course of the war; the unsettlement of the minds of the laboring classes on the above all (to quote Mr. Hoover), "there is a great fundamental economic issues of their lives. But relaxation of effort as the reflex of physical exhaustion of large sections of the population from privation and the mental and physical strain of the war." Many persons are for one reason or another out of employment altogether. According to Mr. Hoover, a summary of the unemployment bureaus in Europe in July, 1919, showed that 15,000,000 families were receiving unemployment allowances in one form or another, and were being paid in the main by a constant inflation of currency. In Germany there is the added deterrent to labor and to capital (in so far as the Reparation terms are taken literally), that anything, which they may produce beyond the barest level of subsistence, will for years to come be taken away from them. Such definite data as we possess do not add much, perhaps, to the general picture of decay. But I will remind the reader of one or two of them. The coal production of Europe as a whole is estimated to have fallen off by 30 per cent; and upon coal the greater part of the industries of Europe and the whole of her transport system depend. Whereas before the war Germany produced 85 per cent of the total food consumed by her inhabitants, the productivity of the soil is now diminished by 40 per cent and the effective quality of the live-stock by 55 per cent.[145] Of the European countries which formerly possessed a large exportable surplus, Russia, as much by reason of deficient transport as of diminished output, may herself starve. Hungary, apart from her other troubles, has been pillaged by the Romanians immediately after harvest. Austria will have consumed the whole of her own harvest for 1919 before the end of the calendar year. The figures are almost too overwhelming to carry conviction to our minds; if they were not quite so bad, our effective belief in them might be stronger. But even when coal can be got and grain harvested, the breakdown of the European railway system prevents their carriage; and even when goods can be manufactured, the breakdown of the European currency system prevents their sale. I have already described the losses, by war and under the Armistice surrenders, to the transport system of Germany. But even so, Germany s position, taking account of her power of replacement by manufacture, is probably not so serious as that of some of her neighbors. In Russia (about which, however, we have very little exact or accurate information) the condition of the rolling-stock is believed to be altogether desperate, and one of the most fundamental factors in her existing economic disorder. And in Poland, Roumania, and Hungary the position is not much better. Yet modern industrial life essentially depends on efficient transport facilities, and the population which secured its livelihood by these means cannot continue to live without them. The breakdown of currency, and the distrust in its purchasing value, is an aggravation of these evils which must be discussed in a little more detail in connection with foreign trade. What then is our picture of Europe? A country population able to support life on the fruits of its own agricultural production but without the accustomed surplus for the towns, and also (as a result of the lack of imported materials and so of variety and amount in the saleable manufactures of the towns) without the usual incentives to market food in return for other wares; an industrial population unable to keep its strength for lack of food, unable to earn a livelihood for lack of materials, and so unable to make good by imports from abroad the failure of productivity at home. Yet, according to Mr. Hoover, "a rough estimate would indicate that the population of Europe is at least 100,000,000 greater than can be supported without imports, and must live by the production and distribution of exports." The problem of the re-inauguration of the perpetual circle of production and exchange in foreign trade leads me to a necessary digression on the currency situation of Europe. Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security, but at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth. Those to whom the system brings windfalls, beyond their deserts and even beyond their expectations or desires, become "profiteers,", who are the object of the hatred of the bourgeoisie, whom the inflationism has impoverished, not less than of the proletariat. As the inflation proceeds and the real value of the currency fluctuates wildly from month to month, all permanent relations between debtors and creditors, which form the ultimate foundation of capitalism, become so utterly disordered as to be almost meaningless; and the process of wealth-getting degenerates into a gamble and a lottery. Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose. In the latter stages of the war all the belligerent governments practised, from necessity or incompetence, what a Bolshevist might have done from design. Even now, when the war is over, most of them continue out of weakness the same malpractices. But further, the Governments of Europe, being many of them at this moment reckless in their methods as well as weak, seek to direct on to a class known as "profiteers" the popular indignation against the more obvious consequences of their vicious methods. These "profiteers" are, broadly speaking, the entrepreneur class of capitalists, that is to say, the active and constructive element in the whole capitalist society, who in a period of rapidly rising prices cannot help but get rich quick whether they wish it or desire it or not. If prices are continually rising, even trader who has purchased for stock or owns property and plant inevitably makes profits. By directing hatred against this class, therefore, the European Governments are carrying a step further the fatal process which the subtle mind of Lenin had consciously conceived. The profiteers are a consequence and not a cause of rising prices. By combining a popular hatred of the class of entrepreneurs with the blow already given to social security by the violent and arbitrary disturbance of contract and of the established equilibrium of wealth which is the inevitable result of inflation, these Governments are fast rendering impossible a continuance of the social and economic order of the nineteenth century. But they have no plan for replacing it. We are thus faced in Europe with the spectacle of an extraordinary weakness on the part of the great capitalist class, which has emerged from the industrial triumphs of the nineteenth century, and seemed a very few years ago our all-powerful master. The terror and personal timidity of the individuals of this class is now so great, their confidence in their place in society and in their necessity to the social organism so diminished, that they are the easy victims of intimidation. This was not so in England twenty-five years ago, any more than it is now in the United States. Then the capitalists believed in themselves, in their value to society, in the propriety of their continued existence in the full enjoyment of their riches and the unlimited exercise of their power. Now they tremble before every insult;—call them pro-Germans, international financiers, or profiteers, and they will give you any ransom you choose to ask not to speak of them so harshly. They allow themselves to be ruined and altogether undone by their own instruments, governments of their own making, and a press of which they are the proprietors. Perhaps it is historically true that no order of society ever perishes save by its own hand. In the complexer world of Western Europe the Immanent Will may achieve its ends more subtly and bring in the revolution no less inevitably through a Klotz or a George than by the intellectualisms, too ruthless and self-conscious for us, of the bloodthirsty philosophers of Russia. The inflationism of the currency systems of Europe has proceeded to extraordinary lengths. The various belligerent Governments, unable, or too timid or too short-sighted to secure from loans or taxes the resources they required, have printed notes for the balance. In Russia and Austria-Hungary this process has reached a point where for the purposes of foreign trade the currency is practically valueless. The Polish mark can be bought for about three cents and the Austrian crown for less than two cents, but they cannot be sold at all. The German mark is worth less than four cents on the exchanges. In most of the other countries of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe the real position is nearly as bad. The currency of Italy has fallen to little more than a halt of its nominal value in spite of its being still subject to some degree of regulation; French currency maintains an uncertain market; and even sterling is seriously diminished in present value and impaired in its future prospects. But while these currencies enjoy a precarious value abroad, they have never entirely lost, not even in Russia, their purchasing power at home. A sentiment of trust in the legal money of the State is so deeply implanted in the citizens of all countries that they cannot but believe that some day this money must recover a part at least of its former value. To their minds it appears that value is inherent in money as such, and they do not apprehend that the real wealth, which this money might have stood for, has been dissipated once and for all. This sentiment is supported by the various legal regulations with which the Governments endeavor to control internal prices, and so to preserve some purchasing power for their legal tender. Thus the force of law preserves a measure of immediate purchasing power over some commodities and the force of sentiment and custom maintains, especially amongst peasants, a willingness to hoard paper which is really worthless. The presumption of a spurious value for the currency, by the force of law expressed in the regulation of prices, contains in itself, however, the seeds of final economic decay, and soon dries up the sources of ultimate supply. If a man is compelled to exchange the fruits of his labors for paper which, as experience soon teaches him, he cannot use to purchase what he requires at a price comparable to that which he has received for his own products, he will keep his produce for himself, dispose of it to his friends and neighbors as a favor, or relax his efforts in producing it. A system of compelling the exchange of commodities at what is not their real relative value not only relaxes production, but leads finally to the waste and inefficiency of barter. If, however, a government refrains from regulation and allows matters to take their course, essential commodities soon attain a level of price out of the reach of all but the rich, the worthlessness of the money becomes apparent, and the fraud upon the public can be concealed no longer. The effect on foreign trade of price-regulation and profiteer-hunting as cures for inflation is even worse. Whatever may be the case at home, the currency must soon reach its real level abroad, with the result that prices inside and outside the country lose their normal adjustment. The price of imported commodities, when converted at the current rate o exchange, is far in excess of the local price, so that many essential goods will not be imported at all by private agency, and must be provided by the government, which, in re-selling the goods below cost price, plunges thereby a little further into insolvency. The bread subsidies, now almost universal throughout Europe, are the leading example of this phenomenon. The countries of Europe fall into two distinct groups at the present time as regards their manifestations of what is really the same evil throughout, according as they have been cut off from international intercourse by the Blockade, or have had their imports paid for out of the resources of their allies. I take Germany as typical of the first, and France and Italy of the second. The note circulation of Germany is about ten times[146] what it was before the war. The value of the mark in terms of gold is about one-eighth of its former value. As world-prices in terms of gold are more than double what they were, it follows that mark-prices inside Germany ought to be from sixteen to twenty times their pre-war level if they are to be in adjustment and proper conformity with prices outside Germany.[147] But this is not the case. In spite of a very great rise in German prices, they probably do not yet average much more than five times their former level, so far as staple commodities are concerned; and it is impossible that they should rise further except with a simultaneous and not less violent adjustment of the level of money wages. The existing maladjustment hinders in two ways (apart from other obstacles) that revival of the import trade which is the essential preliminary of the economic reconstruction of the country. In the first place, imported commodities are beyond the purchasing power of the great mass of the population,[148] and the flood of imports which might have been expected to succeed the raising of the blockade was not in fact commercially possible.[149] In the second place, it is a hazardous enterprise for a merchant or a manufacturer to purchase with a foreign credit material for which, when he has imported it or manufactured it, he will receive mark currency of a quite uncertain and possibly unrealizable value. This latter obstacle to the revival of trade is one which easily escapes notice and deserves a little attention. It is impossible at the present time to say what the mark will be worth in terms of foreign currency three or six months or a year hence, and the exchange market can quote no reliable figure. It may be the case, therefore, that a German merchant, careful of his future credit and reputation, who is actually offered a short period credit in terms of sterling or dollars, may be reluctant and doubtful whether to accept it. He will owe sterling or dollars, but he will sell his product for marks, and his power, when the time comes, to turn these marks into the currency in which he has to repay his debt is entirely problematic. Business loses its genuine character and becomes no better than a speculation in the exchanges, the fluctuations in which entirely obliterate the normal profits of commerce. There are therefore three separate obstacles to the revival of trade a maladjustment between internal prices and international prices, a lack of individual credit abroad wherewith to buy the raw materials needed to secure the working capital and to re-start the circle of exchange, and a disordered currency system which renders credit operations hazardous or impossible quite apart from the ordinary risks of commerce. The note circulation of France is more than six times its pre-war level. The exchange value of the franc in terms of gold is a little less than two-thirds its former value; that is to say, the value of the franc has not fallen in proportion to the increased volume of the currency.[150] This apparently superior situation of France is due to the fact that until recently a very great part of her imports have not been paid for, but have been covered by loans from the Governments of Great Britain and the United States. This has allowed a want of equilibrium between exports and imports to be established, which is becoming a very serious factor, now that the outside assistance is being gradually discontinued. The internal economy of France and its price level in relation to the note circulation and the foreign exchanges is at present based on an excess of imports over exports which cannot possibly continue. Yet it is difficult to see how the position can be readjusted except by a lowering of the standard of consumption in France, which, even if it is only temporary, will provoke a great deal of discontent.[151] The situation of Italy is not very different. There the note circulation is five or six times its pre-war level, and the exchange value of the lira in terms of gold about half its former value. Thus the adjustment of the exchange to the volume of the note circulation has proceeded further in Italy than in France. On the other hand, Italy s "invisible" receipts, from emigrant remittances and the expenditure of tourists, have been very injuriously affected; the disruption of Austria has deprived her of an important market; and her peculiar dependence on foreign shipping and on imported raw materials of every kind has laid her open to special injury from the increase of world prices. For all these reasons her position is grave, and her excess of imports as serious a symptom as in the case of France.[152] The existing inflation and the maladjustment of international trade are aggravated, both in France and in Italy, by the unfortunate budgetary position of the Governments of these countries. In France the failure to impose taxation is notorious. Before the war the aggregate French and British budgets, and also the average taxation per head, were about equal; but in France no substantial effort has been made to cover the increased expenditure. "Taxes increased in Great Britain during the war," it has been estimated, "from 95 francs per head to 265 francs, whereas the increase in France was only from 90 to 103 francs." The taxation voted in France for the financial year ending June 30, 1919, was less than half the estimated normal post-bellum expenditure. The normal budget for the future cannot be put below $4,400,000,000 (22 milliard francs), and may exceed this figure; but even for the fiscal year 1919-20 the estimated receipts from taxation do not cover much more than half this amount. The French Ministry of Finance have no plan or policy whatever for meeting this prodigious deficit, except the expectation of receipts from Germany on a scale which the French officials themselves know to be baseless. In the meantime they are helped by sales of war material and surplus American stocks and do not scruple, even in the latter half of 1919, to meet the deficit by the yet further expansion of the note issue of the Bank of France.[153] The budgetary position of Italy is perhaps a little superior to that of France. Italian finance throughout the war was more enterprising than the French, and far greater efforts were made to impose taxation and pay for the war. Nevertheless Signor Nitti, the Prime Minister, in a letter addressed to the electorate on the eve of the General Election (Oct., 1919), thought it necessary to make public the following desperate analysis of the situation —(1) The State expenditure amounts to about three times the revenue. (2) All the industrial undertakings of the State, including the railways, telegraphs, and telephones, are being run at a loss. Although the public is buying bread at a high price, that price represents a loss to the Government of about a milliard a year. (3) Exports now leaving the country are valued at only one-quarter or one-fifth of the imports from abroad. (4) The National Debt is increasing by about a milliard lire per month. (5) The military expenditure for one month is still larger than that for the first year of the war. But if this is the budgetary position of France and Italy, that of the rest of belligerent Europe is yet more desperate. In Germany the total expenditure of the Empire, the Federal States, and the Communes in 1919-20 is estimated at 25 milliards of marks, of which not above 10 milliards are covered by previously existing taxation. This is without allowing anything for the payment of the indemnity. In Russia, Poland, Hungary, or Austria such a thing as a budget cannot be seriously considered to exist at all.[154] Thus the menace of inflationism described above is not merely a product of the war, of which peace begins the cure. It is a continuing phenomenon of which the end is not yet in sight. All these influences combine not merely to prevent Europe from supplying immediately a sufficient stream of exports to pay for the goods she needs to import, but they impair her credit for securing the working capital required to re-start the circle of exchange and also, by swinging the forces of economic law yet further from equilibrium rather than towards it, they favor a continuance of the present conditions instead of a recovery from them. An inefficient, unemployed, disorganized Europe faces us, torn by internal strife and international hate, fighting, starving, pillaging, and lying. What warrant is there for a picture of less somber colors? I have paid little heed in this book to Russia, Hungary, or Austria.[155] There the miseries of life and the disintegration of society are too notorious to require analysis; and these countries are already experiencing the actuality of what for the rest of Europe is still in the realm of prediction. Yet they comprehend a vast territory and a great population, and are an extant example of how much man can suffer and how far society can decay. Above all, they are the signal to us of how in the final catastrophe the malady of the body passes over into malady of the mind. Economic privation proceeds by easy stages, and so long as men suffer it patiently the outside world cares little. Physical efficiency and resistance to disease slowly diminish,[156] but life proceeds somehow, until the limit of human endurance is reached at last and counsels of despair and madness stir the sufferers from the lethargy which precedes the crisis. Then man shakes himself, and the bonds of custom are loosed. The power of ideas is sovereign, and he listens to whatever instruction of hope, illusion, or revenge is carried to him on the air. As I write, the flames of Russian Bolshevism seem, for the moment at least, to have burnt themselves out, and the peoples of Central and Eastern Europe are held in a dreadful torpor. The lately gathered harvest keeps off the worst privations, and Peace has been declared at Paris. But winter approaches. Men will have nothing to look forward to or to nourish hopes on. There will be little fuel to moderate the rigors of the season or to comfort the starved bodies of the town-dwellers. But who can say how much is endurable, or in what direction men will seek at last to escape from their misfortunes? FOOTNOTES [145] Professor Starling s Report on Food Conditions in Germany. (Cmd. 280.) [146] Including the Darlehenskassenscheine somewhat more. [147] Similarly in Austria prices ought to be between twenty and thirty times their former level. [148] One of the moat striking and symptomatic difficulties which faced the Allied authorities in their administration of the occupied areas of Germany during the Armistice arose out of the fact that even when they brought food into the country the inhabitants could not afford to pay its cost price. [149] Theoretically an unduly low level of home prices should stimulate exports and so cure itself. But in Germany, and still more in Poland and Austria, there is little or nothing to export. There must be imports before there can be exports. [150] Allowing for the diminished value of gold, the exchange value of the franc should be less than 40 per cent of its previous value, instead of the actual figure of about 60 per cent, if the fall were proportional to the increase in the volume of the currency. [151] How very far from equilibrium France s international exchange now is can be seen from the following table Monthly AverageImports $1,000Exports $1,000Excess of Imports $1,000 1913140,355114,67025,685 1914106,70581,14525,560 1918331,91569,055262,860 Jan.-Mar. 1919387,14066,670320,470 Apr.-June 1919421,41083,895337,515 July 1919467,565123,675343,890 These figures have been converted, at approximately par rates, but this is roughly compensated by the fact that the trade of 1918 and 1919 has been valued at 1917 official rates. French imports cannot possibly continue at anything approaching these figures, and the semblance of prosperity based on such a state of affairs is spurious. [152] The figures for Italy are as follows Monthly AverageImports $1,000Exports $1,000Excess of Imports $1,000 191360,76041,86018,900 191448,72036,84011,880 1918235,02541,390193,635 Jan.-Mar. 1919229,24038,685191,155 Apr.-June 1919331,03569,250261,785 July-Aug. 1919223,53584,515139,020 [153] In the last two returns of the Bank of France available as I write (Oct. 2 and 9, 1919) the increases in the note issue on the week amounted to $93,750,000 and $94,125,000 respectively. [154] On October 3, 1919, M. Bilinski made his financial statement to the Polish Diet. He estimated his expenditure for the next nine months at rather more than double his expenditure for the past nine months, and while during the first period his revenue had amounted to one-fifth of his expenditure, for the coming months he was budgeting for receipts equal to one-eighth of his outgoings. The Times correspondent at Warsaw reported that "in general M. Bilinski s tone was optimistic and appeared to satisfy his audience." [155] The terms of the Peace Treaty imposed on the Austrian Republic bear no relation to the real facts of that State s desperate situation. The Arbeiter Zeitung of Vienna on June 4, 1919, commented on them as follows "Never has the substance of a treaty of peace so grossly betrayed the intentions which were said to have guided its construction as is the case with this Treaty . . . in which every provision is permeated with ruthlessness and pitilessness, in which no breath of human sympathy can be detected, which flies in the face of everything which binds man to man, which is a crime against humanity itself, against a suffering and tortured people." I am acquainted in detail with the Austrian Treaty and I was present when some of its terms were being drafted, but I do not find it easy to rebut the justice of this outburst. [156] For months past the reports of the health conditions in the Central Empires have been of such a character that the imagination is dulled, and one almost seems guilty of sentimentality in quoting them. But their general veracity is not disputed, and I quote the three following, that the reader may not be unmindful of them "In the last years of the war, in Austria alone at least 35,000 people died of tuberculosis, in Vienna alone 12,000. Today we have to reckon with a number of at least 350,000 to 400,000 people who require treatment for tuberculosis.... As the result of malnutrition a bloodless generation is growing up with undeveloped muscles, undeveloped joints, and undeveloped brain" (Neue Freie Presse, May 31, 1919). The Commission of Doctors appointed by the Medical Faculties of Holland, Sweden, and Norway to examine the conditions in Germany reported as follows in the Swedish Press in April, 1919 "Tuberculosis, especially in children, is increasing in an appalling way, and, generally speaking, is malignant. In the same way rickets is more serious and more widely prevalent. It is impossible to do anything for these diseases; there is no milk for the tuberculous, and no cod-liver oil for those suffering from rickets.... Tuberculosis is assuming almost unprecedented aspects, such as have hitherto only been known in exceptional cases. The whole body is attacked simultaneously, and the illness in this form is practically incurable.... Tuberculosis is nearly always fatal now among adults. It is the cause of 90 per cent of the hospital cases. Nothing can be done against it owing to lack of food-stuffs.... It appears in the most terrible forms, such as glandular tuberculosis, which turns into purulent dissolution." The following is by a writer in the Vossische Zeitung, June 5, 1919, who accompanied the Hoover Mission to the Erzgebirge "I visited large country districts where 90 per cent of all the children were ricketty and where children of three years are only beginning to walk.... Accompany me to a school in the Erzgebirge. You think it is a kindergarten for the little ones. No, these are children of seven and eight years. Tiny faces, with large dull eyes, overshadowed by huge puffed, ricketty foreheads, their small arms just skin and bone, and above the crooked legs with their dislocated joints the swollen, pointed stomachs of the hunger oedema.... You see this child here, the physician in charge explained; it consumed an incredible amount of bread, and yet did not get any stronger. I found out that it hid all the bread it received underneath its straw mattress. The fear of hunger was so deeply rooted in the child that it collected stores instead of eating the food a misguided animal instinct made the dread of hunger worse than the actual pangs. " Yet there are many persons apparently in whose opinion justice requires that such beings should pay tribute until they are forty or fifty years of age in relief of the British taxpayer.
