By Frank J. Taylor. (United Press correspondent.) Berlin, March 20. (By Mail.)— Germany's infant republic was born with no silver spoon, unless libera- tion from militarism and Kkaiserism can be interpreted in that way. The new republic begins with the most nopeless legacy of troubles that any nation ever faced. So interwoven and tangled are the problems which the new republic’s cabinet is undertaking and struggl- ing against, while new ones rise con- stantly, that the words of a German, who said, “There’s not a man in all Germany who sees at one time more than half of the maze of dangers that might explode and overthrow the atate,’ are true. There are those who say the situa- tion is beyond solution. They hold that the slate of the past should be wiped clean, and that the German 1 state should start all over again, 1 ¥ much as Russia tried to do. " The gov- | f i ernment realizes this would mean | disaster and complete loss of con- fldence in any form of government, and struggles to avoid it. It is hard enough to change the form of governnment when things are running smoothly, and when all parties agree to it. It is hard enough to begin a republic where no govern- | ment existed at all vefore. The Ger- | mans find their task made far more difficult by the reason that their country was completely reorganized and the new regime has to answer immediately for all the deluge of failures and mistakes of the old. Germany today can be visualized perhaps as a popper full of pop-corn, i most of which has popped, but some f of which has not and is still going off. Each explosion shakes the whole mass. This unstable state is held together only by the walls of arms that still surrounnd it, for many are they who would like to escape from the burden. Germany’s new government is i tackling the problems with optimism | and hope—confidence is hardly pos- | sible, as yet. Right here it might be said the new German government is [ one without brilliant leaders and is ! without great men in it. This the Germans themselves say, and do so without regret in their voices. The Germans have had enough of great men, and seem glad to trust their future to mediocre, honest citizens. This “‘carpenters’ relchstag,” es it has hbeen called, has already weathered storms of opposition, dur- ing the trying months when the Ebert-Scheidemann party guided Germany from militarism, and put to flight the adoption of a provisional republic constitution of Weimar, on February 10. The great mass of German people have expressed their confidence in at least the honesty and impeachable good intentions of and foreign problems, it will be an everlasting tribute to the republican form of government. If they fail and have to call for help from out- side Germany, as no small propor- tion of Germans who are pessimistic predict, it will be because the mili- tarists and the Junkers left too much of a dead legacy to carry in these try- ing times. | Just what tremendous difficulties THE REMIDJI DAILY PIONEER half cent a word per issue, when pald cash i{n advance.

But there are high lights that stand out, or group themselves under heads, and the best a correspondent can,do is describe these problems as théy appear, not so much to a for- eigner, but to Germany’s republican cabinet, which is trying to master them all at once. The following serfes of articles on Germany's situa- tion palitically, socially, economi- cally, and in other phases that can be covered, may be altered by the time these stories get to print, but they will describe the chactic, com- plicated, unrestful situation out of which the new German republic was born. | OUEER NEWS BITS (Continued from Page One) naval architects and marine engin- eers, of Glasgow, London and New York.
