BERLIN. Jan. l6.-In the Reiehstag
to-day. during the discussion OF Count
Won Kanitz's proposal for the estab-
llshment OF government grain mon
opoly. the count denied that It would
raise the price of bread. He also said
that the scheme was not sociallstic and
that Its object was to benefit the peas
antry.
He concluded with the remark:
'Hrhe government may look on while
the country is being desolated, but we
want deeds not words" prolonged
appiause,)
Baron Marshall Won Belberstein
continuing, said that Count Won Kan
it's scheme would involve not merely
the revision, but the negatlon OF the
treaties. Moreover the empire could
no more guarantee normal price for
grain than It could guarantee normal
rate OF wages. The government policy
in taking action wherever advisable
would. in his opinion, gain less votes,
but would be more certain OF success
than the great remedies OF the agra
rlans. The Centrist leader, Herr Won
Galen, formally announced that the
Centre party was in favor OF the nbso-
Lutte rejection OF Count Won kanitz's
scheme.
Count Herbert Won Bismarck was lis
tened to by full houseSas he arose to
speak. He opposed the measure us n
malse-shIft, like protective custom
tariff. The agrarlnns minor remedies,
he said, were not worth much. There
was general tendency toward pro-
lection. even In Great Britain. The idea
prevailed, he asserted. to unite South
Africa and the protected territories into
one economic region, and with the other
British colonies. to establish a protect
i've tariff against the world. He con-
cluded that the firmest foundation Of
the empire lay in stationary popula-
tIon which WAS much maintained,
