Germany must export 3 billion marks to pay debts
An address by Professor Bonn to economists and industrial leaders argues Germany must export goods worth 3,000,000,000 marks to import 7,000,000,000 marks. He says a moratorium alone is ineffective and proposes a plan combining moratorium, credits, and England waiving reparations for three to four years. France would receive 600,000,000 marks in materials and might waive other claims. Germany could pay part via credits abroad. The aim is to improve the world economy within three to four years.
