"It the thing is not cleared up to the satisfaction of the entire public by bringing every guilty man to jus tice.

"Thank God.” she »aid. "Now Bern ard will have a chance to prove lie's innocent.” The Reichstag, scheduled to re convene October 15 but perhaps summoned earlier by the govern ment, will witness a rattling skir mish over protective agrarian tariffs with nationalists and junkers ou one side, and socialists and communists on the other. The socialists are demanding dis solution of the Reichstag. Their proclamations declare that that body is no longer representative of the nation. They insist that the populace shall be asked directly if It wants a government coalition in cluding the nationalists, and wheth er it wants breadstuffs Increased in price through tariffs simllur to those prevailing in Germany before the war. On the other hand, the national ists are clamoring for their "pound of flesh”—payment for rounding up sufficient voters to puss the Dawes bills. In the first place, they want pro ducts protected. If this is done, it automatically means that the na tionalists must come into the coali- tion. because once the tariffs are passed, the Marx—Stresemann min ority regime cannot count further on benevolent neutrality from the so cialists. That means they must strengthen their structure by build ing rightward. At the same time, the battle will bring up in all probability the great question of the eight-hour day in Germany. The socialists point out that the Dawes report expressly stat ed Germany's labor should not he put on a standard of life lower than that of other countries. But the big industrialists have long since scrapped, in practice, the eight hour day, and according to the socialists are preparing to pay re parations chiefly from the sweat of the laborer’s brow. The socialists maintain that this method of paying reparations will never do. Tariffs and hours- these two things furnish the groundwork for a pretty row, the outcome of which is thoroughly in doubt. It is, however, possible that new elections will be the outgrowth of this internal strife. In this case, it is more than likely that the extreme right ami left wings will suffer sharp losses.
