TO-DAY'S CABLES.
(Reuter's Service to the China Mail.)
GERMAN
EVOLUTION..
(Continued from Page 1)
The governments of Bavaria and Baden and Wurtemburg have issued proclamations declaring that they are opposed to the unconstitutional machinations of reactionaries and that they recognise only the Imperial government and national assembly wherein their peoples concur. Mean while, a general strike is proclaimed at Frankfurt and Hamburg, where great processions of workers are parading the streets. The workers of the Rubr basin are opposed to a general strike,
Foch, Sir Henry Wilson, and the American commander are having a conference at Mayence, the French Rhine army headquarters, to-morrow.
The new imperial chancellor Kapp has issued a lengthy proclamation charging the old government with corruption. He declares it is incapable of warding off Bolshevism which is threatening. He alleges that the national assembly continued to govern without a mandate and illegally postponed the elections.. The proclamation promises that the financial conditions in the federal states will be constitutionally restored; the war loans would be safeguarded and repayments begun,, Economic freedom will be restored to landed property which will be properly taxed. Strikes and sabotage wil be ruthlessly suppressed. The government would hold the balance between capitalism and labour, shielding the worker against servitude.. "Work is the principal duty of every man. Germany shall be a moral community of labour.""
BERLIN, March 13.
At nine this morning the Vorwaarts offices were occupied by a public security guard. The semi-official news agency has provisionally suspended its services between the provinces and foreign countries. A proclamation has been issued stating that the Noske government has ceased to exist, and that the entire authority has passed foto the hands of Kapp 23 imperial chancellor. The Prussian premier, who appointed the infantry general, Baron vor Lueltwitz, a wellknown reactionary, as military 'com. mandor in chief of the new government" of "order, freedom, and action” being formed, issues the proclamation signed von Luettultz and Kapp. Ebert and Noske have issued a manifesto summoning the workers to a general strike.
Prior to the fall of the Noske government, the semi-official news-agency announced that General von Oldershausen had negotiated with the naval brigade in the course of the night. His demands were discussed by the cabinet which sat till early morning. His demands were subsequently rejected. Thereupon troops entered Berlin and occupied the Wilhelms-
strasse.
PROFITEERING IN ELECTRIO LAMPJ.
LONDON, March 16.
The report of the sub committee that has been enquiring about alleged: proäteering in the electric lamp industry finds the existence of a trade combination including 90 to 95 per cent. of the industry. It is con trolling factors and retailers, Gixing prices. at all stages, and regulating the output. The report considers that the standard vacuum lamps now sold to the public at three shillings could be sold at two shillings and still leave a satisfactory working profit. Also the trading discounts are. considerably higher than is necessary, and should be reduced. The report farther states that one and a quarter million half-watt lamps sold to the public in 1919 at 12s. 6d. each were purchased in Holland by the Trust at about three ahillings each. They would have left an ample margin of profit at eight shillings. The report finds a possibility of an international combina. tion comprising British, Dutch, and American manufacturera dominating prices over a considerable part of the world, and recommends that the operations of the existing combination should be subjected to public control.
