of some ten different and more or less
antaconistic groups, was divided on as
many different issues and as is usual
in such bodies a majority was united
only in opposing the government. Such

were vital or timely, was unquestion-

The public is assured that Wilhelm
desires the most scrupulous adherence

strongly, however, the urgent need of
reforming the Reichstag. lie cannot
govern with the Reichstag split into ten
political parties, among whom, through
chance or partisan agreements, MAORI
ties are constantly forming against the
government on vital issues. He does
not wish to rule absolutely. He is will
ing to rule conditionally-even to allow
parliamentary majority TO share in the
government.
But what Imperial cabinet could work
with Bebel, Lieber and Richter? Not
one Of them has under his control a
positive working majority; not one Of
them can get together 2 majority com.
