says
a Constantinople
des-

to the

quoting
a

The

London, April 4th.—Mr.
Hodge,
Sec-
retary of the Miners Federation,
made
an
astonishing
statement
about
the
with-
drawal of the pumping forces
in a speech
at
Copisborg
in
Yorkshire
yesterday.
It was a decision, he said, that could only
have
been
taken
in the
most
desperate
circumstances.
Jam
not a willing party
tc
see
the
mining
industry
physically
|
destroyed.
Who could view the spectacle
|
of flooded mines equanimity?
Who could
|
think calmly of the
destruction
of
mines
|
that
will never
be
recpened?
No
man
|
can
do
it.
But
the
decision
has
been
|
arrived at and must command
characteris-
|
tic loyality until it is
altered
if even it
is
[
altered,
he added.
‘‘The Govt.I think
count
on
starving
the
miners
into
sub-
|
mission.
It is
a
question
of endurance.

by Hr®

Walter

Wlin-

ister,
and
asserted
it was ‘entirely clear’
!
both
to the Govt.and people that Germany
|
must
make
reparations
to the
limit of
her ability to
pay
but
sought
‘‘examina-
~
tion by experts
to
determine
the extent
~of
her
ability.
Dr.
Simons
suggested
.
that
an international loan;
in
favour
of
which
the
Allied
and
associated
Govts.
would
waive
their
general
mortgages,
~constituted
the only solution
of
the
pro-
blem.
He
declared
that
Germany
was
~
prepared
to offer
the neccssary
security
-for such
a
loan,
adding
that it has
been
determined
that
the
situation
of
Ger-
'
many
was
better
than that of
many
of
~
the Allied and
associated
countries,
be-
-~
cause
she
had
no
foreign
debt,
'‘Ger-
-
many
would
not
be
unwiiling’’, he said
~
““to assume
the
obligation of
the
inter-
~est
and amortization
of the foreign debts
of
the Allied
powers,
within
the
limit
of her capacity,
should
this
measure
be
entertained
by the
Allied and
gssociated
Government’s
and
their credwrs.
