Pork Barrels American Cash in German
BERLIN December 28. The money poured into Germany by the United States and other creditors, now unpaid by the Reich, has largely funded projects with no return to help debt payments. Misjudgment and pork barrel spending by borrowers, plus over-eager lending by Senders, fueled part of the 42.5 billion marks borrowed from 100,000 American investors via American banks. The government denies extravagance but acknowledges over 250,000 marks of borrowed money in six years went to luxuries like sports grounds, parks, art, and science. The Labor Ministry ordered future limits on the size and equipment of workers’ settlements.
