Indemnity fair? Baruch analyzes German reparations
Washington, Feb 6. M Baruch, member of the reparations commission, calculates the 226 000 000 000 gold marks over 42 years equals about 21 billion dollars in capital. He warns acceptance by Germany in good faith could stabilize Europe and improve world economic conditions, with tax on exports affecting prices and US consumers. He notes export tariff receipts go to allies, not US, and discusses broader effects on Russia and Central Europe.
