German Exactions From Occupied Territory
In a parliamentary reply the Foreign Under-Secretary outlined the heavy burden on occupied territories, not only money but in kind. Western zones face annual costs near £1,000,000,000 to £1,180,000,000 with Norway and Belgium among the per head burdens. Germany also gains goods and assets from these areas. The second burden is excessive exports to Germany paid for in blocked marks, including valuables, now reduced as territories are stripped of exportable surpluses. Indirect losses from occupation are noted but not quantified. The report cites specific national contributions and notes potential limits of older Young Plan figures. The article ends noting the divorce decree of Yehud Menuhin’s youngest daughter.
