SPEECH BY Won BUEL0W
SITUATION IN MOROCCO.
Germany Azpaits Developments 7oith
Calm Reserve.


,,o+ior I'm Morocco, and hinted that some of the
sacrifices of European lives would not have oc-
Cured had the international police provided for
by the Alegciras convention been organized In
June He recognized, however. that under the
circumstances France and Spain could not have
acted otherwise, and with them rests the whole
responsibility
Unfortunately German private interests had
suffered thereby, and the German government
would be compelled to help the sufferers until
the international commission made d settle
rnent Germany, he declared. was awaiting de-
velopments with calm reserve: 1t was to the In
terest of Germany and of Europe that affairs in
Morocco become calm, and the fundamental
principle Of this calmness must be the Algeciras
act.
Referring to assertions that Germany in
cent years had been twice the verge of war;
the first time in 1904, during the Emperor's
voyage in the Mediterranean, and later in
sequence Of the crisis in Morocco, Chancellor
Won Bulow declared that neither Emperor Will
tam President Loubet thought OF IN
1904. The wish that the heads of the two states
should meet expressed. but invitation
was extended and therefore none was refused.
While the crisis in Morocco never would have
led to war. the Chancellor continued Germany
was. however. always ready TO defend her
honor. 1t was childish he declared, to think
that two great civilized nations would go to
war except upon questions affecting the life
and interests OF their peoples.
Prince Won Bulow declared that Germany
heartily greeted the efforts Of Russia and Aus
tria to establish peace in the Balkans and
solidate conditions there, and he said that Ger
many would assist willingly in the attainment
Of an agreement between those powers and the
Sultan. Germany regarded the Russo-British
agreement, the Chancellor continued, as not
directed against her. AS to the closing in of Ger
many. he added. he had nothing to say except
that the best policy to remain watchful and
fearless.
RELATIONS WITH GREAT BRITAIN
In connection with Emperor Williams visit
to England Prince Won Bulow, amid loud ap-
plause expressed the greatest satisfaction. He
believed, he said, the future would show that
the strained relations between Germany and
Great Britain were founded on misunderstand-
ings. Speaking in the name Of the Rechstag.
he declared that the friendliness displayed by
the English people was reciprocated in Ger
many.
Chancellor Bulow thought Germany could
feel satisfied with the work accomplished at The
Hague, although all hopes had not been realized
and many problems remained unsolved. He
paid a high tribute to Baron MarschaI Won
Bieberstein, head Of the German delegation TO
the peace conference who, he declared had
Prince von Bulow concluded his speech with
reference to the court camariIla, saying that
in republics and constitutional nonarchies fiat
terers Of rulers always were found; and then.
with a hit at the Socialists, the Chancellor add
ed that nowhere were rulers so fattered as
King Demos is. and with more damaging
results.
DEBATE ON BUDGET
During the 1908 budget discussion Herr Bebel.
the Socialist leader. declared that crisis at
hand He said the unemployed In Berlin already
number between 10000 and 10000. and that,
owing to Industrial combinations and the price
agreements. the day of low prices in Germany
was passed and the high duties put in force in
the month Of March, 1906 also were making
themselves felt Consequently Herr Bebel de-
clarod Germany was paying the highest prices
in the world. Holding up leaf of bread the So
cialist leader said: They still say this is a big
loaf but loaf that weighed four and one-half
pounds eighteen months ago now weighs scarce
" three pounds. and the price has risen fully
80 per cent"
Official inquiry made among the teachers In
the public schools of Berlin, he said showed
that the number of children who never had
dinner had risen to 4.S41. while a large number
Of children had only bread and coffee for dinner.
Referring to the proposed changes in naval
legislation he offered TO wager that the govern
rnent would come forward with new navy
construction bill within three years. and he
asked against what country this bill would be
directed The Fleet Society agitating
against Great Britain. he said, and agitation for
war against this country could be observed on
al sides
THE COURT CAMARILLA.
Herr Bebel announced that he disagreed with
the declaration made before the Reichstag yes
terdav by Prince Won Biilow, the imperial Chan
celor that no camarilla existed in Germany.
He quoted from Prince Won Bismarck and Prince
Hohenlohe to prove the contrary. and eX-
planned that a camarilla operates in such an
ngratiating manner that the victim is not aware
that he is being played upon. There are very
few men able to resist such an influence and
especially do self-confdent men who fancy they
know best and can do everything best become
the victims" said Herr Bebel.
Turning TO the recent trial of Macmillan Har-
den who was sued by Count Kuno Won Moltke,
former military governor of Berlin, for def
amation OF character. the Socialist leader as
serted that the vices revealed in the Of
the hearing were so prevalent that IL the police
brought all the guilty parties to trial scandal
ocIipsing the Panama and the Dreyfus revea-
tions would break out. 1.-The guilty persons
the speaker said. ARE to be found in the high
est social circles. and they include princes of
ruling houses. The police know the names of
the victims but they afraid to act lest the
victims blurt out the names Of the high per-
sonages who are guilty. A number Of tragedies
already have resulted from this state OF affairs
