TheFearofReparations

TheScottishSocialistpaper,"For ward,"whichhasalargeworkingclass circulation,recentlygaveconsiderable spacetothediscussionofthequestion ofreparations.IttakesupthepositionthatBritainoughtnottoaccept reparationsfromGermany',evenif Britaincouldgetthem,becausesuch reparationswouldcauseunemploymentamongthepeople.ThequestionisnotaCatholicquestion,noris itasocialistquestion-theSocialists aredivideduponit.The"Christian Democrat,"publishedbytheCatholic SocialGuild,Oxford,isasignedarticle undertheaboveheading,says:

SofarasthereisaCatholicposition itwasstatedbythelateHolyFather, PopeBenedictXV.inhisPeaceNote ofAugust1st.,1917:

"Astothereparationofdamageand thecostofwar,weseenowaytosolve thequestionsavebylayingdowna generalprinciple-completeandreel procalcondonation If,incertain cases,thereexist,nevertheless,special reasons,letthembeweighedwithjus ticeandequity."

Allsubsequenteventshavegoneto showthatthePopegavetheworld therightcounsel.Itwasrightin 1917,andin1919,anditwouldbe rightto-day.Butwehavetoface thefactthatthePope'scounselisdeliberatelyrejected.Inourpresent articlewearenotdiscussingwhether reparationsoughttobeexacted,or whethertheyaregoodfortheworldas awhole,butwhethertheirreceiptby BritainwouldbehurtfultoBritish tradeandtheBritishworkingclasses. Norhaveweanyspecialhostilityto "Forward's"positiononthisparticular question.Ourmotivefortakingup thediscussionissimplytousethe thematerialforalittlelessoninEconomics.

LetitbegrantedthatifGermany paysreparationsitcanonlybeby exportinggoods.Letitalsobe grantedthatmanyBritishmanufacturerscanbequotedinoppositionto thiscountryacceptingreparations.Letitbegranted,further,thattheGermanindemnityshipshadmuchtodo withdepressingourshipbuildingindustry,andthatthediversionofGermanindemnitycoaltoFrancespoiled theFrenchmarketforBritishcoal. Thesepointsareelaboratedatgreat :engthbytheopponentsofreparations,anditwillsavetimetotreat themasundisputed.

Theopponentsofreparationshaveintroducednon-economicconsiderations intotheirargument.ThusMr.Morel says:"InallthesedebatesandcalculationsaboutwhatGermanyisgoing topaythepsychologicalfactorisleft out.Considerwhatkindofpsychologyyouaregoingtocreateinthat greatcountrybythisvistaofenmities towhichapparentlythereisnoend.

Mr.Morelraisesagravequestion, saysthewriter,butitisbeyondour scopetodealwithit.Itiscertain thatinsofarastheAlliesderiveany gainfromreparationsitwillbeatthe expenseofGermany.Thiscountry (Britain)ispayinganAmericandebt ofthirtymillionsayear,andourtaxpayersknowwhatdeprivationsthat means.Germanyistopaymorethan fourtimesthatannualtributeunder theDawesscheme.TheGermansare notlikelytosharetheparadoxical viewthatitisbettertopayreparationsthanto'receievethem.

Thefirstgreatmistakemadeby "Forward"andthosewhothinkwith itisinbelievingthatthereisany differencebetweenimportsreceivedas reparationsandimportsreceivedin theordinarycourseofinternational trade,asfaraseffectsonBritishemploymentareconcerned. IfGermanywereeconomicallyrestore-Ishe wouldpresumablyexportasmuchas shecould,whethershehadtopay reparationsornot.Herexportswould competewithBritishproducts,andin sofarasshesucceededinunderselling uswewouldsufferlossoftrade.It maybereplied:''Butinordinarytrade wehavetosendoutexportsforimports,andthemakingofthegoodsfor exportgivesemploymenttoourpeople.

ItislikelyenoughthatBritainwill suffermorethananyothercountry fromGermancompetitionunder - re parationsregime,firstbecauseBritain hasnotariffprotection,andsecondly becauseithappensthatBritainmanufacturesandexportsmanyofthe samekindsofgoodsasGermany.In sofarasGermangoodsundersellBritishgoods-assomeGermangoodsmust, ifGermanyistopayreparationstherewillundoubtedlybeunemploymentintheBritishtradesconcerned Itisnecessary,however,topursue ouranalysisfurther.Liabilitytopay reparationsdoesnotincreaseacountry'scompetitiveefficiency.ReparationtaxeswillbeahandicaptoGermanindustry,justastaxestopay theAmericandebtareahandicapto Britishindustry.IfBritainreceives reparationsourtaxeswillbelessened, andweshallhavemoremoneyto spendonotherthings.Wecanimproveourindustrialplant,orbuy moreclothes,moreboon,moretobacco, morebooks,orwhateverelseweprefer.Thisincreasedpurchasingpower ofoursmeansanincreaseddemandfor labour.Theremustbemoreemploymentfortailors,tobacconists,farmers, andthelike.Becausethereceiptof reparationsincreasesourpurchasing power,itmustincreaseemployment inhometrades.Itistruetherewill benoemploymentongoodstosendin paymentforthereparations,butpreciselybecausewegetimportswithout paymentwehavethemoremoneyto spendathome.Inordinaryinternationaltradeifweimportgoodswe havetopaytheforeignerbygiving himsomuchpurchasingpowerit:our markets.Whenwegetreparationswe exercisethepurchasingpowerourselves.Reparationsincreaseourconsumptionofgoodsandthereforeour demandforlabour.Thisistheanswer totheargumentthatbecausewehave nottopayforreparationswemust havelessemployment.

(ByRobertLynd

Mr.RobertLvnd.thefamousjoura nalist,whoisanUlstermanbybirth andaProtestant,giveshisviewsin thisarticleontheBoundaryquestion. Hesays: itnom.appearsthattheGovernment ofNorthernIrelandwouldbewilling toappointarepresentativeonthe BoundaryCommission,ifonlytheFree Statewouldallowthewords"BoundaryCommission"tobedefinedin Belfast.AccordingtoBelfastaBoundaryCommissionisaCommissionthat wouldleaveaboundaryverymuchas theyfoundit.ThereareevenUnionistswhocontendthatthiswaswhat wasintendedbytheframersoftheAnglo-IrishTreaty.

ThewordsoftheTreaty,however, canscarcelybearthisinterpretation. AccordingtotheTreaty,theBoundaryCommissionwasto "determineinaccordancewiththe wishesoftheinhabitants,sofaras maybecompatiblewitheconomic andgeographicalconditions,the boundariesbetweenNorthernIrelandandtherestofIreland."

Thereisnomentionhereofslight rectificationsofafrontier.The Treaty,indeed,clearlylaysitdown thatthenewboundary-lineistobe drawnaccordingtotheordinaryprinciplesdfdemocracy,andthatthe inhabitantsofborderareassh...11themselvesdecideunderwhirwGovernment theyshalllive.

Formyself,IregretthattheFree StateGovernmenthasnotconsented towaivetheboundaryquestionforthe nexttenyears,andtoconcentrateits energiesonreconcilingNorthernIrelandtoapointatwhichitwillunite itsfortuneswiththoseoftherestof thecountry.Clearly,however,the FreeStateGovernmentbelievesChitit canhastenunitymoreeffectivelyby insistingontherevisionoftheboundary.Itisridiculoustotalk.asthe "MorningPost"does,oftheFret_ State'sdemandingits"poundofflesh."

NorthernIrelandsaysthatitowesits eixstencetotheGovernmentofIrelandAct,1920.(whichSouthernIrelandrefusedatthetimetorecognise).

TheFreeStatemaintainsthatNorthernIrelandowesitsexistencetothe Treaty-embodiedintheIrishFree State(Agreement)Act,1922-which NorthernIrelandrefusedatthesame torecognise.

Inpointoffact,Ulsterdidrecognise theTreaty,whenshemadeuseof Clause12oftheTreatytocontract outoftheIrishFreestate-thevery clausethatmakesprwisionforthe appointmentoftheBoundaryCommission.TherightofNorthernIreland toremainoutoftheFreeState,in deed,ismadedependentontheappointmentofsuchaCommission.NorthernIrelandisonlypermittedtosecede"providedthat aCommission ofthreepersons,"etc.IfNorthern IrelanddoesnotaccepttheBoundary Commission,shehasnolegalrightto remainoutsidetheFreeState.

Butanewopportunitywasopeningto him.TheFranchiseActof1884so greatlyextendedthepopularvotein IrelandthatParnellnowledaparty ofeighty-sixmembers,includingone fromanIrishdivisionofLiverpool.

"Uachtarainagusachairde"(Mr. Presidentandfriends).HavingspokeninGaelic,FatherPrendergastcontinuedinEnglish:-

IhavebegunbyspeakingintheGaelicorIrishlanguageinordertodraw yourattentiontotheobjectforwhich weategatheredhere.Wearehere inthecauseofIrishcivilsiation,which afterthecauseofHolyChurchisthe noblestcauseperhapsonearthto-day. (Applause.)Adistinctlanguageought toindicateadistinctnationality,but. unfortunately,thereisatendencyto apetheforeigner,especiallyifheis strongandwealthy,and,hencemany nationssoldtheirnationality,their civilisation,foramessofpottage.The RomanEmpireimposeditscentralised formofGovernment,itsimperialism, itsmilitarism,onEurope.Europe, withtheexceptionofIreland,accepted Romancivilisation-theRomanCaesar orKaiser,andEuropeispayingfor iteventothisday.Roundthecoasts ofIrelandrunsamountainchainwhich defendsthatEternalLandfromthe stormsandravagesoftheendlessseas. Europe'ssavagehordeshavepoured inuponIrelandasnumerousasthe wavesofthesea,butIrelandhasgloriouslyfoughtonindefenceofherown civilisation,whichsheknewwasolder andsuperiortoanythingtheRoman Empireoritsbarbariansuccessor, couldgiveher.Agricola,theRoman general,wastroubledaboutthe"spectacleoffreedom"presentedbyIreland tothesubjectnationsoftheRoman Empire.Sohavealltyrantseversince beentroubledaboutthe"spectacleof freedom"presentedtotheworldby Gaeliccivilisation.AstheScribesand PhariseesdeterminedtocrushtheSaviouroftheworld,sohaveallthe tyrants,sincethedaysofAgricola,endeavouredtocrushGaeliccivilisation initsIrishstronghold.Andsomewhe shouldbeitsapostlesdenyitto-day.
