EMPEROR WILLIAMS SPEECH
BERLIN, Feb. 6.-The German Parliament
was opened to-day by Herr Camphausen,
Vice President of the council of minister's
who read the speech from the throne In
the passage relating to foreign affairs, the
emperor expresses the hope that speedy
peace will enable the principles of the Con-
stantinople conference to be applied and
durably established. The comparatively
slight participation of Germany in Eastern
affairs allows the empire to display disinter-
ested cooperation in the arrangements that
may be made by the powers concerning fu-
ture guarantees against the recurrence of
trouble in the East and for the amelioration
Of the CO ndition of the Christian population.
Meantime the emperor's policy had attained
it's object inasmuch as it had essentially con-
tributed to tho preservation Of peace between
the European powers and The relations of
Germany with al the powers remained not
only peaceful but altogether friendly.
The imperial speech also stated that the
budget, which will be presented Immediately,
shows that the empires financial require
ments increase faster than the revenues. It
is unadvisable to cover the deficit by increas-
ing the contribution of individual estates,
but preferable to strengthen the imperial
revenues. Bills will be submitted levying
an imperial stamp duty and increasing
the tobacco tax. The balance of the deficit
must be met by loan.
With a view to filling a hiatus in the con-
stitution, bill which is now under discus
sion in the federal council will shortly be in
troduced, providing for the appointment of
substitutes to fulfil all or part of the func-
tons of the imperial chancellor.
