no less importance to the suggested law relating to the liberty of the sub- ject, of conscience and of the press and to freedom of meeting and associa- ton. Nevertheless, It considers 1t nec- essary in preparing such laws to pro- vide the administration with such ef- fective means as to enable the gov ernment to prevent or counteract any abuse of the liberties conceded.
 With reference to the solution of the agrarian question by the transfer of the crown appanages and monastery and church lands, and by the forcible appropriation of private landed prop erty, which includes the private prop erty of peasants the council of min isters holds 1t to be it's duty to de- clare that such method as wholly in admissible. The government cannot deprive one party of It's possessions in order to bestow them on another. To contest the right of the private possess sion of land would be In fact to con test the right to possess any private property at all. Throughout the world and in all grades of the development of civil life, the inviolability of prop erty constitutes the cornerstone of the welfare of the people and the funda- mental basis of the life of the State The resources still at the disposal of the oJaI6 ana lnt WlQe dppilCAIt0n or legal methods will doubtless he held to find successful solution of the agrarian question without undermining the powers of the fatherland
 Radical Alteration.
 The other laws referred to by the lower house touch on the responsibility of the ministers and the solution of the upper house. The council of minis ters does not feel itself justified in en- Ans~f f0fx fae kr i. S,. volve radical alterations of the funda- mental law and conditions which are beyond tho province of the lower house
 Finally, as regards the solicitude of the lower house, to secure justice, and right in the army and navy. the gov- ernment declares that in the army these principles are already unshak- ably established and that the solicitude of It's illustrous head Is now directed to the improvement of the material position of the soldiers and to devis- ing means for a more extensive reali- zation of the measure directed to that end.
 "As regards the proposed abolition of the exceptional laws and the arbitrary acts of officials the council of ministers considers this wholly within the do- main of public Administration in which the lower house has only the right of Interpolation. Furthermore the con- solidation of the administration into a state of strict legality forms the sub ject of special care on the part of the government which will not fail to see that the conduct of government offi- cials is insrsred by similar endeav. ors
 The Government also recognizes that the present exceptional laws do not suf- flee in extraordinary cases to ensure trunquifiity and order and the minis ters. therefore,, are engaged in drafting more perfect n-easures to that end. If the exceptional laws. despite their im- perfections, nave been recently en- foraed in many districts. the cause of thf$ ls to bs found exclusively in the fncessanf 1isfarders and acts of murder and acts of violence.
 conscious of It's responsibilities to the country, the ministry will maintain quiet and order the legal means now at its disposal so long as the disturb ances continue and so long az the Gov ernment Is not furnished through fresh legislation with ,effectual means of combating lawlessness.
 Tn regard to the amnesty question, the pardon of prisoners convicted by the courts. no matter what form of crime may have been committed. is the pre- rogative of the monarch. The council of ministers considers that 1t would not be beneficial to society to amnesty per sons implicated in murders and acts of violence, while the disturbances con tinue. As to persons deprived of their liberty by, administrative order the cabinet has taken steps to procure the release of those whereby public safety is not threatened"
