declaration is not the wost feature
of the incident, Herr Bassermann
said. This is the fact that these opin-
ions are held and passed from mouth
TO mouth. No one knows how many
similar conversations with foreign
ers repose among the archives OF 9TH
er governments. They all are in
contravention of article seventeen OF
the constitution, which provides that
imperial acts IN foreign affairs must
be countersigned by the chancellor.
J, In conclusion Herr Bassermann
said the National-Liberals did not
demand the resignation Of Chancel-
lor Won Buelow. but they did insist
upon some sort of guarantee that
the chancellor would guard his con-
stitutional prerogatives and resist
unconstitutional interference from the
emperor.

There is strong talk of rsadjusting

ed to cut the existing routes about
five miles short. We are informed
that petitions are out asking for the
change.
