Attempted Assassination of Erz
bcnier Only. Hint of What Will
Hatnien On Laroe Scale Passive
Resistance by Strike Possible.
IHKItUX', AVednosday, Jan. 2S.
Indication (,f the government's grow
ing concern over tho extradition of
ficrmans accused of war offenses was
given in the note sent to the allies to
day asking revision of clauses of the
Versailles trealy.
The attempted assassination of .Ma
thias Frzbergcr, minister of finance,
last .Monday, is viewed in official
circles today as a precusory of what
was likely to happen on a larger scale
if the government, yielding to the
allies, appeals to force in arresting
men on the list submitted by the en
tente powers. Kditorial and parti
san recriminations, prcvoked by the
attack on the finance minister al
ready have reached the white hot
stage.
Tho note to the allies which will
not be published in (lennany, warns
the entento powers that Clermany
cannot assume she Is ablo to compel
either national or local agencies of
the law to lay hands en the men
wanted and transfer them to (ierman
frontiers. Tho Associated Press Is
informed that even responsible of
ficials of the foreign office have an
nounced point blank they woHld re
fuse to execute any work connected
with extradition formalities and they
threaten to strike or Indulge in "pas
sive resistance."
Xo Ono Will Act
A leading official of tho foreign of
fice expressed doubt today that a
man could lie found In Cermany, frcni
an army or navy commander down to
a humble village deputy "who would
lend himself to the work of executing
a warrant for the arrest or detention
of fellow countrymen to be dragged,
before. a foreign tribunal."
Suggestion is made in the note
that the men be tried by the supreme
court at J.elpsig and tho cabinet has
indicated its belief that the national
highest tribunal can guaranleo an ex
haustive and impartial trial.
Tho economic situation in German y
is precarious at present and this is
an unsuitable period to invite trouble
the note indicates, continuing to
point out, that trouble, if it comes,
wil not be confined to any single
pa rty.
"The whole nation Is likely to go
on a general strike," an official de
clared today while discussing tlie
government's plight, if it is coerced
into even making n feint in the direc
tion of apprehending the men wanted.
It is definitely stated that no list or
names of men whose extradition will
lie demanded has as yet leen received
and that tho government has no hint
of when it lb coming or who fs want-
