To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It gives the Reparations Commission power to put its finger on any great business or property in Germany and to demand its surrender. Outside her own frontiers Germany can be stripped of everything she possesses, and inside them, until an impossible indemnity has been paid to the last farthing, she can truly call nothing her own. 'The Treaty inflicts on an Empire built up on coal and iron the loss of about one-third of her coal supplies, with such a heavy drain on the scanty remainder as to lea...ve her with an annual supply of only 60 million tons, as against the pre-war OLD ECONOMY AND POST-WAR STATE 75 production of over 190 million tons, and the loss of over three- quarters of her iron ore. It deprives her of all effective control over her own system of transport; it takes the river system of Germany out of German hands, so that on every Inter- national Committee dealing \7ith German waters, Germans are placed in a clear minority. It is as though the Powers of Central Europe were placed in a majority on the Thames Conservancy or the Port of London Authority.
