The conditions which now exist in Germany make it impossible for industrial production to reach the levels which the occupying powers agreed were essential for a minimum German peacetime economy. ↗

The German people were not denied, however, the possibility of improving their lot by hard work over the years. Industrial growth and progress were not denied them. ↗

A similar revolving fund could be set up for Germany, for a durable peace can rest only upon a Germany that, while militarily impotent, is industrially active. ↗
