day's debate.
These ' leaders, representing opposing
factions in the ' German parliament,
joined on the issue before the relchstag
and all demanded a limitation qf the
kaiser's personal power,
JThe speakers demanded a pledge that
the kaiser refrain from giving Inter
views in the future without first sub
mitting his remarks to the ministers of
the foreign office.
"The dignity of the nation, to say
nothing of Its. safety, demands that we
check the royal prerogative of sowing
broadcast - opinions that do not in the
least reflect real German sentiment,"
declared ' Norman at the close of his
speech.
