Berlin. Dec l--The policy OF the I'M
perial Chancellor Prince Won Buelow, OF
governing by coalition OF the National
Liberals. the Radicals and the Conserva-
lives appears TO be seriously endangered
by the attack delivered upon the govern
ment today by DR.. Herman s. Paasche,
first vice president OF the Reichstag. In
the matter Of the Harden-Von Moltke
scandal, as well as on the proposed hnan-
rial measures DR.. Paasche is one of the
National Liberal leaders.
Prince Won Buelow has informed the
leaders of the so-called bloc that the
situation embarrasses him, and that he
caused the dissolution OF the Reichstag
year ago upon assurance that the bloc
would support him Today he is unexpect-
edly attacked and he distinctly intimated
that he would resign unless adequately
supported.
Today's session of the Reichstag adj
journed early IN order 10 give the leaders
OF the bloc time 10 consult with their
supporters. There Is much talk OF
chancellor crisis" but this seems too
strong phrase to apply to the situation.
