I will first return thanks for your Pre- sident's kind words. Your confidence is

greatest honour I could receive. The
a call of duty. I repond to it in the con- sciousness that to-day more than ever every German must do his duty in the poal in which he has been placed. (Cheers.) I will endeavour with all my powers and with complete devotion to carry on my office justly and with the utmost in partiality Cheers) I
I take an oath that I loyally obse
observe und protect the constitution of the German Republic
(Cheers.) It is my firm re-
solve to act as the commissary of the Ger- man people, and not as the front-rank man of a single party. (Loud cheers.) I confess, howovor, that I RO a son of the working classes who has grown up in the world of Socialistic ideas, and that I do not mean to disown either my origin or my convictions. (Loud cheers from the Left.
In entrusting me with the highest office of the German Free State you had no ia- tention of setting up one-sided party rule, but in doing so you have recognised the tremendous change which has been offcted in our body
the and, at politic same time, Also the enormous importanes the working classes in solving the prob of lema of Germany's future. The whole of
our economic development represents a i continuoue narrowing levelling of the privileges of
birth
German people The have now abolished these privileges from the domain of politica for good, and in the social domain also this transforma tion is being carried out. Here also we zeust strive, as far as is humanly pos sible, to give the same starting point of equality to all, and to give to all a sími- lar burden to carry.
Let us thoroughly consider and thrash out the manner in which this condition may be attained. We must all strive earnestly after this high aim of human Justice Freedom and right are twin sisters. Freedom can only take form and shape where there is settled state of public order. To protect public order where it exists and restore it where it has been impaired in the first imperative duty of those who love freedom. (Loud cheers.) We will fight all attempts to set up domination by violence, from what ever side they may come, to the last breath. (Loud cheers and clapping.) Just as in our internal affairs we have solenn- ly renounced the principle of violence be tween nations, so also we intend that right Bad freedom shall be respected. No one is to be compelled to enter the Union of the Republic by force, but neither shall anyone who is drawn towards it and desires to be included in it be severod from it by forec. We intend to bitse our
policy both at home and abroad on the freely exercised right of self-determina Mon
For the salso of right we cannot tolerate that our brothers should be rob bed of the freedom of choice. (Loud and Aasent.) To protect the free-

of all Germans I shall exert all the power and devotion of which I am cap able; that in the oath that in this hour I take before the National Assembly, (Loud cheers.)
To obtain peace, to ensure the exercise of the right of self-determination, to con- solidate and guard the Constitution, which guarantees to all German men and women absolute political equality, to pro- vide work and bread for the 'Gerinan people, to shape their whole economic life so that their freedom shall not be beggar's freedom, but that of a cultured and civilised pouple-let these be the ends for which we shall strive. (Loud cheers,) I know that the power of the individual, whatever his office may be, is small it is not united with all the living forces of the people. However hard may be the fato which has overtaken our people, wo do not despair of their vitality.
All the demands which I have indicated confront me with the most difficult prob lems and duties. I will do my very best to solve and discharge them. We will work together untiringly for the wol fare and happiness of the German people. Let us, then, ladies and gentlemen, ory, Long live the German Fatherland and the German people 1"
