The industries of Belgium were de- vastated itt order to put a pompetitor out of ,businees, and either extermin- ate the population or force it to 'ingrate, because it was unoccupied territory Germany wanted. Gentian civilians pressed this policy upon the Government. Polish industries Were treated as ruthlessly. The factories were closed; then, beaause there was no employment for the people, 600,000 men and women were deported into Germany, and then, the population having moved away, the factories were of course useless and the machinery was shipped into Germany. And it is the Germany that was capable, of doing this, the Germany whose civilian population was capable of clamoring for this policy, as the army was of execulting it, that is now demanding aid from the Allies and generoos peace tame lest it shall be put to real incOnvenienze, and leSS.'
