| GERMANY GETTING TO WORK.

SHIP OF STATE UNDER WAY.

Berlin, Oct. 2.7

Is Germany beginning, like! Kipling's ship; to "find herself"?; This question is prompted by a speech delivered to-day in the National Assembly by Chancellor Bauer on the occasion of the debate connected with supply.

Chancellor Bauer seized the occasion to outline the policy of his Coalition Government, which has recently broadened its basis by co-opting two members of the Democratic party.

His outline: was interesting, both for what it

and for what it sug showed gested.

He sketched far-reaching pro- posals of legislation in sozial affairs, emphasising that social legislation was to be not an act of grace by the Government, but al recognition of the rights of workers. So he spoke of workers' councils, factory councils, and jeceromic councils, and of pro- posals for arbitration in case of industrial disputes.

He foreshadowed provision for those disabled in the war, includ- ling compulsory employment and

land settlement schemes.

Statatory sanction is to be given, too, to the eight hours. working day, while a Bill is to be introduced dealing, with on- employatent insurance.

As regards foreign relations, the Chacrellor referred to the dis- I trust roused abroad by rumours affecting the new German army and by recent happenings in the Baltic Provinces. He said that plans had been submitted to the Allies dealing with reductions in the army which would have been partir effected by October 1 had the Peace Treaty been ratified:

by then.

The Treaty had not been ravid, however, and the fevernment still had 200.000 troofs in Germany, with as many on the Eastern frontiers to defend German

until the territory frontiers she'd be fixed.

Was

As to the Baltic Provinces, the Chancellor said that von der Gritz was rot i man he was thought to be phr oft box that any way the Gov ment doing all that lay in its power to comply with the wishes of th Allies, the sharpness of whose recent Note on the subject he strongly condemned.

(

But what was perhaps of most interest to the outside world was his statement that the desire to work is again manifesting itself. end that consolidation is 0:0- (cending « throughout the whole

bod of the people.

There are still 100 many strikes, he said, but the old wild desire to strike at every moment) has gone.

Trade union and pitical dis-any-leadership. cipline is again asserting itself; and sir kes are beginning to be used for their old legitimate use, as a last resort io trade disputes. As evidence of this new desire for work. Heir Bauer stated that roal production has greatly increased, although it is still unable to support the great export trade.

In the Ruhr district (he said) 38.000 additional men could be employed. 20:000 of them immediately.

This simply confirms what I have been told at various in- dustrial centres which I have visited lately.

As further evidence it may be cited that attempts have been made for some time past to en- gineer a strike amongst the metal workers in Berlin, with a general strike as the ultimate object, but| that efforts so far beve failed to make the metal strike general.

In foreign affairs, too, there is a feeling of greater buoyancy. Germany's trade with neutral countries WES never in doubt if economic ways and means could be devised; and now she speaks openly in the Press of her relations with Italy.

Efforts, too, are being made towards an understanding with France. afi understanding which it is believed could be effected were it not for certain personalities.

A deputation from, Czecho- Slovakia has arrived here to study commercial relations between the two countries, while credits are expected from England and America.

||

So Germany's horizon is wideд-i ing, and she is no longer so afraid of isolation after the war as et one time she was. She waits with impatience for the ratifica- hon of the Treaty, with all that! that means.

Herr Bauer read his speech to the Assembly, losing thereby his rhetorical effect.

This was characteristic of the whole situation here. Germany is beginning to find herself; but

it seems to be by blind instinet, by the sheer habit things have of

There is no personal political leadership, there is scarcely any creative impulse at work; and if Germany survives the coming winter without an economic crash it will be due to Allied bolstering up and the sheer will to survive amongst the people.A. A. Davidson, to the Daily Chronicle.
