The rejoicing crowd elevated them to the rank of national heroes. There was really only one accused in the whole process: the German republic Against it and its official representa- tives, every insult was permitted and the meaning of this verdict is that this republic has piled up such a mountain of unrest and is governed so miserably, that every patriot must op- pose it and that even the misuse of methods in such a struggle must be adjudged most mildly. And who defends the republic? No convinced republican sits in the cab- inet. The chancellor still terms the revolution of 1918 a sin and a crime which not expiated until the new constitution was adopted. The for- cign minister confesses himself an opponent of the republic and its flag, strives for “a new democratic kaiser- and declares his “patriotic feel- ings” forbid him to use force against “fighting unions,” which bhave been forbidden by the peace treaty and by two « and whose aims are a monarchy, 1 military serv- and the throwing off of the Ver- illes peace.

Of course, nobody doubte that he would receive a substantiall majority, considering the imminent general elections, so the figures do |||ol reveal the surprise and disap- { pointment felt in many quarters at the manner in which the cabinet was reconstructed. At any other time it is likely that this cabinot, made up largely of his former opponents, would either have ! been upset on the first vote or would have received such a small “majority as to be utterly unworkable. i But the election campaign begins in two weeks. In such circumstances, @ ., cabinet crisis was unthinkable. The mafority, despite its discontent, thinke it prudent to lean on M. Poin- care in the coming struggle.
