RERUN. Dec., 23— Results or' the
* ir^t year of tho revolution in Gcr
nany are summarized by the Socialist
Monthly as comprising a decline in the
•alue of the mark, increase it: tho cost
>f living, decreased production of coa*
md steadily mounting public d’bU
Hie paper casts a balance for the ye*w
n a bitter and sarcastic verw.
It points out that the mark has de
fined in value with the year from 72
Jwiss francos to 20.25 francs. It gives
i long list of articles of food showing
ncroases ranging up to 100 perc *nt
or butter, and nearly 200 percent for
ggs. The paper states that the cost
f transportation has increased.
The production of coal is asserted to
avc detuned from 100,000,000 tons i
/ear b('fore the war to 70,000,000 tons
n the first year of the revolution. This
j not withstanding an increase in the
umber of persons employed in the
lining industry, exclusive of warpris
ners who now have been sent bac?c :
’ranee and Belgium.
Debts and taxes are declared to be
teadily growing into an unbearabb
mden for the taxpayers. The pape:
sserts that Germany’s debts will ag
•regate on April 1, 1920, 212,000,00'\•
JO marks, exclusive of debt to th
Entente. The deficit of the Pruss’ar
ailroads for the year of the rcvoUi*
on is declared to total at least -
>3,000,000 marks. /
In conclusion the paper warns tlv
eople of Germany that they must pa:
