Vote Millions for New German Cruiser; But No Money for Jobless BERLIN, April 17.—The first in- stallment for the construction of a second armed cruiser of the Ersatz- Preussen type was voted today by the German Reichsrat or upper house. This installment calls for $700,000 but the total cost of the cruiser will be $18,000,000. In the face of the fight which the bourgeoisie waged to reduce the un- employment and other social insur- ance doles to the working class this action of the ruling class exposes the utter hypocrisy of the cry that the budget requires the strictest, economy. The German imperialists want to rebuild their lost colonial empire. For this they need a strong navy.
