Altogether Germany is compelled to hand over to the winners as part reparation about 25,000,000 tons of coal a year. The German transport system is placed under control, and the administration of the Elbe, the Rhine, the Oder, the Danube, owing to the fact that they pass through more than one state and give access to the sea, is entrusted to inter-allied commissions.
Austria has lost every access to the sea, has consigned her fleet and her merchant marine, but in return has had the advantage of numerous inter-allied commissions of control to safeguard the military, naval and aeronautic clauses. But there are clauses which can no longer be justified, as, for instance, when Austria no longer has a sea coast.
The writer was responsible for initiating, in 1917, an Inter-Allied Chemical Supply Committee, whose function was to pool effectively the allied raw materials, and to arrange their distribution in accordance with allied programmes, the exchange of which implied a considerable step.
I have already said that the real damages to repair do not exceed 40 milliards of gold marks and that all the other figures are pure exaggerations. If it be agreed that Germany accept 20 per cent. of the inter-allied debt, the indemnity may be raised to 60 milliards of francs at par, to be paid in gold marks.
The outcry against the Greeks on this occasion was so great that an inter-allied commission, including American representatives, was appointed to make a thorough investigation.
The ruler of the Venus Central State, the leading monarch of Mars, and our three chief executives of Earth murdered almost simultaneously! It was incredible any one of the murders would have been incredible yet it was true. There had been times in the Inter-Allied Office, particularly when I had been insulated from aerial eavesdropping. But never had I felt the need of it more than now.
I finished my meal too leisurely for Georg and the doctor; and then we all went into the house, to the insulated room where at last we could talk openly. As we entered the main corridor, we heard the low voice of the Inter-Allied news-announcer, coming from the disc in a room nearby. "And Venus " The words caught our attention. We hurried in, and stood by the Inter-Allied equipment.
We have as yet no further details...." A buzz came as he ended, with only the click of the tape continuing as it printed his words. A period of silence, then again his voice: "Official 2:32 A. M. Inter-Allied News: Tarrano rejects Ultimatum. His note to Earth Council complete defiance. Official text follows...." We listened, dumb with amazement and awe.
But this night who could tell what General Orders might come? Everyone's nerves were frayed; this Director demanded gruffly to know who we were. "Tell him none of his business," I put in. My own nerves were frayed, too. "Quiet!" warned Georg. "He'll hear you and it is his business if he wants to make it so. Tell him we are the Inter-Allied News, father.
The close connection between the German dye industry and chemical warfare is now well recognised in official circles, and, to some extent, by the general public. Its belated exposure was almost entirely due to the facts revealed by the Inter-Allied Mission to the German chemical factories some months after the Armistice. But the situation thus revealed was not created in a day, nor by chance.
