Greek budget £19,261,000 (Dr. 6,100,000,000 )
Proportion 3.17.)
This basis is unsound and leads to wrong
conclusions. Because owing to our defeat we were
compelled to intensify the taxation of the country to
the utmost limit and we will therefore pay for our war
debt more, in proportion, than if we had emerged from
the war victorious and had not been made, to press our
effort of taxation to the very uttermost point.
But even in case the basis put forward by His
Majesty's Treasury were to be taken into account again
the result would not be such as the Treasury maintain.
Indeed when speaking in similar cases of the
paying capacity of a country one means the capacity
of this country to export abroad annually, from the
surplus of its national income, a certain quantity of
services or values. On the basis laid down in her
agreements with Great Britain and the United States for
the funding of her debt, Italy will export annually for
the service of her external debt approximately:-
Up to the year 1930 £5,033,000
" " " 1940 £6,800,000
" " " 1950 £7,930,000
" " " 1960 £9,557,000
and only from 1960 onwards will she have to export a
larger sum.
If we take into account the population, as is
done by His Majesty's Treasury, Greece would be capable
of exporting annually:-
Up to the year 1930 £ 786,000
" " " 1940 £1,021,000
" " " 1950 £1,200,000
" " " 1960 £1,454,000

Yunan bütçesininki £19,261,000 (Dr[ahmi] 6,100,000,000 )
Oran 3.17.)
Bu esas sağlam değildir ve yanlış sonuçlara götürmektedir. Çünkü yenilgimiz nedeniyle ülkenin vergilendirmesini en son sınıra kadar artırmak zorunda kaldık. Bu nedenle savaş borcumuz için orantılı olarak daha fazla ödeyeceğiz. Savaştan galip çıkmış ve vergilendirme çabamızı en uç noktaya kadar zorlamak durumunda bırakılmamış olsaydık, bundan daha azını ödeyecektik.
Fakat Majestelerinin Hazinesi tarafından ileri sürülen esas dikkate alınsa bile, sonuç yine Hazinenin iddia ettiği gibi olmayacaktır.
Gerçekten de bu gibi durumlarda bir ülkenin ödeme kapasitesinden söz edilirken, bu ülkenin milli gelirinin fazlasından her yıl yurt dışına belirli miktarda hizmet veya değer ihraç edebilme kapasitesi kastedilir. Borcunun konsolidasyonu için Büyük Britanya ve Birleşik Devletler ile yaptığı anlaşmalarda belirlenen esasa göre İtalya, dış borcunun servisi için yılda yaklaşık olarak şu miktarları ihraç edecektir:-
1930 yılına kadar £5,033,000
1940 yılına kadar £6,800,000
1950 yılına kadar £7,930,000
1960 yılına kadar £9,557,000
ve ancak 1960'tan itibaren daha büyük bir meblağ ihraç etmek zorunda kalacaktır.
Majestelerinin Hazinesi tarafından yapıldığı gibi nüfus hesaba katılırsa, Yunanistan yılda şu miktarları ihraç edebilecek durumda olacaktır:-
1930 yılına kadar £ 786,000
1940 yılına kadar £1,021,000
1950 yılına kadar £1,200,000
1960 yılına kadar £1,454,000
