War Debts and the United States

John Maynard Keynes

Chapter 5 in Essays in Persuasion, 2010, pp 37-53 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Who believes that the Allies will, over a period of one or two generations, exert adequate force over the German government, or that the German government can exert adequate authority over its subjects, to extract continuing fruits on a vast scale from forced labour? No one believes it in his heart; no one at all. There is not the faintest possibility of our persisting with this affair to the end. But if this is so, then, most certainly, it will not be worth our while to disorder our export trades and disturb the equilibrium of our industry for two or three years; much less to endanger the peace of Europe.
