Some Americans looking- at the Old World think these troubles may be cured by "America’s help. Oth ers think, it wiser for Uncle Sam to keep hands off. Whatever you think about it, here is a tabloid picture of Europe at the be ginning of 1923: England-^Dy high taxation has sue ceeded In making its budget balance, fts currency is well on the way to ris ing to par with the dollar. But there are still about 1,300,000 persons out of work, for whose unemployment doles added taxes had to be raised, The nutnber of jobless is a good indication of how heavily her export trade has fallen off and how hard her great in dustries have been hit. France-—Her devastated regions are still largely unrepaired. She Is still being taxed to maintain a huge stand ing army. Having drawn compara tively few cash payments from the Germans, her budget shows an im mense deficit. Her currency is way below par. Her birth rate is still showing a dangerous decrease. Germany—Bankrupt at home and abroad. There Is a deficit of about 800 billions of marks in her budget. She faces reparation demands from the al lies t*hat~she say*-*he-'-Sannot payr Tne markets of a. great part, of the .world are olosefl to her.. Her imports ex ceed exports and she-is gettjng,-deeper into debt all the time. The Existence of her republican form of government is threatened both by bolsheviks and monarchists. Italy—Face? with a population tne care-of which taxes the ability: of the farms ,and the factories beyond their means, the cbuntry is troubled by the immigration laws.of the United States. Development is hampered by the de preciation of the lira' with its cotise-^ quent difficulty to buy raw material*’ for the factories, and by the huge debt in which the war involved her. \ Belgium—Like Prance, she badlv needs the reparations from Germany. Her currency remains depreciated. Her industry suffers from' the general bus iness depression in Europe. InteNiaMy she suffers from the contest between the French-speaking Walloons and the Flemish-speaking Flemings. which was accelerated by German pronadand ists during the war. Portugal’—Hopelessly in debt, with no chance for betterment in sight, owing to the frequent revolutions which have overturned one govern ment after another. Spain—Has a deflifiit o^ over one bil lion pesetas (in her budget. Unrest all over the country, owing to the popu lar oppositkn to the, Spanish vvar^in .Morocco. Catalonia, of which the great industrial city of Barcelona is the me tropolis, is causing further unrest by nor constant demand for complete au tonomy, If nht independence. Holland—Troubled with high taxes and unfortunate speculations In the German mark. Switzerland-Suffering from paraly sis in her two greatest industries— watch and clockmaking and hotel keeping. The high rate of the Swiss money has kept many travelers.away. Jugoslavia^-SIenaoed by external and Internal troubles. Inside, the Croats are bitter opponents of domination by, Belgrade. Externally, there is the constant danger of friction with Italy over the territory £iven old Serbia by the peace treaties. Poland—Her credit is so bad that her currency ranks at the -bottom, with those of Austria and' .Russia. She is compelled to be constantly on the qul vive because sooner of later'she fears wars oif two borders—the Germans fighting to take back Upper Silesia and the Russians fighting to take back (the territory lost a little over a yea*, ago. Czechoslovakia—In itself a healthy state, but disturbed by the presence of 3,000,000 Germans who long for union ‘ with Germany. Has great iadustrial and agricultural possibilities, but Is suffering from business depression, owing 'to the fact that its currency is , so much more valuable than that, of possible customers.' Austria—Totally ruined, her money worth nothing and herself a mendi cant, lyaiting to receive alms from the allies through the medium of the league of nations. Hungary—Seething with internal dicontents, owing to the "White Ter ror” of the monarchists having re placed the "Red Terror” of the bol sheviks. Seething also with hatred,’, the proud Magyars are merely wait ing their chance to light Rumania for the return of the territory west of the Transylvania mountains, and Jugosla via for-4Iie great wheat plains which were once the bread basket of the old Austro-Hungarian^ empire. isuigaria — ourrounuea ny nusuio stages, faced-• by . reparation demands in the peace traties with which she has not yet complied, and determined even by'force of arms some day to re conquer a path to the sea where she can have her' own port of which she was deprived by the allies.
