Victor Talking Machine Camden, New Jersey Germany's Value Is Estimated at 330 Billion Mark Financial Experts. Declare Reparation Demands of Al lies Mean National Confiscation. By GEORGE- SELDES.' tlik-oeo Tribune ruble. C'opjrleht 1MJ. Berlin, Jan. 31. Germany's value in gold is 330,000. 000.0(H) marks. The allies demand 38,000,000,000 ,gold marks as war indemnity. Accord ing to -Berlin financial experts this action means national confiscation. It is pointed out that Germany has lost one-seventh of her population through the Versailles treaty terms and also, putting France's wealth at 210,000,000.000 gold marks, the perts declare that should France' ob tain 55 per cent of the indemnity this would equal three-fifths of that nation's national wealth. Berlin had expected that a sum running into billions of gold marks but the amount set by the supreme council is considered so high as to be ridiculous. Official circles have received the news with little comment, but the' general opinion is that the amount is beyond sane discussion and means that Germany will not pay anything. The Catholic organ, Germania, said in an editorial: . . "Germany will never pay because she cannot. We have only paper mon'fy of which the allies demand 2,000,000.000 marks worth." The Kreutz Zietung declares: '"The figures are beyond discus sion. The amount .is higher than the whole German national property and all possessions, both personal and public-."
