Herr Rebel. the socialist leader. at
tackled the governments foreign pol
Icy. He said thar after the unveiling of
the Moltke monument the Emperor
delivered a speech indicating a serious
situation, and the Imperial Chancellor
has spoken of The deep-seated hos
tility of the British toward the Ger
mans. The speaker referred also to the
Emperor's speech regarding keeping
ther powder dry" ana quoted a Ba
yarlan prince as saying that in 1904
the Emperor saved Germany from a
great war The Chancellor said in
April that there was no sign that any
power was going 10 infringe on Ger
man interests, but when the Emperor
landed in Morocco all this wa
changed at one stroke The Emperor's
visit was a provocation calculated to
excite the greatest distrust on the
part Of other nations.
Il refuse to be put off" exclaimed
Pebel, with the dictum that such
things must not be discussed in the |
Reichstag. because they concern the
welfare of all the German people and |
because it might mean war"
The last remark was greeted with |
scornful laughtr from the Radical
party.
What the Russian people are now
their ruler can be done also
by other European peoples = shouted
Bebel.
"The time has come when the work
ing people and not the Cabinets will
decide the question of war or peace.
"We are Of the opinion that The peo-
pie will never allow themselves to be
again driven to war. Today war can
)nly be made with the support of the
antire people
"The present time is a serious one.
Do you believe that what is going on
n the East is not exciting the German
abor'ng population most profoundly?
{ you do not. take care to make the
Natherland what it should be so that
he workngmen will gladly defend II.
they will raise the question whether
hev shall defend Il at all"
The Socialist Deputies shouted their
ssent to this remark, which caused
-reat commotion on the Government
snches The commotion waxed when
Ierr Bebel added:
IF the German laboring classes fail
on. you are lost. and tell you that I
ay W u come. You have no conception
Z The embitterment Of the hearts Of
he German workingmen today.
Now that Russian absolutism Is ap- !
reaching its end. Germany has the c
eputation Of being the most reaction
ry state of the world"
