CHAOS IN GERMANY.S

GERMAN'S ANALYSIS OF

THE SITUATION.

M. Camille Hupamans writes the Manchester. Guardian follows

The other day I met a man who has held an important position in Germany. His attitude is that of the Independents, but he is also one of those who wish to see the unity of labour. I did not know him personally, but I had heard that he was one of the most balanced and modern minds in contemporary Germany. He is one of those who always fought against German Imperialism, and be never wavered once during the whole war.. I shall not mention his name, but I have a very strong impression that his ideas are sound. For this reason I consider it necessary to give them some publicity. And this is how the conversation ran:

The question which intereste me at the present moment is the following: What is the true situation in Germany, not the superficial or the official situa- tion? What is the reality? Who is the master? Who commands? How do things stand?

Chaos reigns in Germany. The new militarism has reassumed force and vigour, and it owes its new ascendancy to the fear of extremes. The Majority So- cjalists. who think they are committed to compromise, have attached Socialistic labels to non-Socialistic realities, and they have failed, to effect the most urgent economic reforms. They have overrated the formal. They have not created. Hence, side

The meeting was opened on the 17th ult at five pm, at the Kawasakiya, Kyobashi, and there had been a large concourse of people near the place of meet ing even before it was formally opened, eager to hear the speeches to be delivered by Mesars. Arshats, Ogugi, Yoshida and Ariyoshi and other Social: ists. There were about 800 people outside, but a few scores of police officials of Tsukiji Police Station, who were detailed to supervise the function did not allow them to enter. After prolonged negotiations between the pro- moters and Mr. Suzuki, the Chief of the Tankiji Police Station, which lasted for no less than two hours, permission for entrance was given at ? p.m., and there
