The important thing is that while Germany undoubtedly has both the gold and dollar exchange necessary to effect a complete transfer of interest payments now, she most certainly has not enough of either to meet her short and long term capital obligations as these fall due in the future. The present partial default on interest payments in merely a symptom of the folly of an impossible tariff and its incompatibility with payment...
