BERLIN. Nov. lO.-The indiscret'on
Of Emperor William in having given
the interview which was published In
the Daily Telegraph Of London on Oct.
- was debated In the Reichstag to-day
before a crowded house. Herr Basser-
mann, speaking for the National Lib
erals. said the party did not desire the
resignation of Chancellor Won Buelow
personal element from the conduct OF
foreign affairs and the observance of
the provisions of the constitution re-
lating to the interference of the EN-
peror therein without the cooperation
Of the Chancellor.
Won Buelow Heard.
Replying to the critics of the Govern
nent and the Emperor, Chancellor Won
Buelow explained the circumstances pre-
ceding the publication of the Telegraph
interview, as already set forth. He de-
clared he had decided to remain as
Chancellor but he could not say for how
long.
II represent the Emperor" Prince Won
Buelow said, and unless the Chancellor
places reserve on his utterances he could
not remain in office"
Herr Bassermann, speaking for the
National Liberals. recited the evil effects
o. e Emperor's utterances. He said
that China, Japan, and America had
taken note of the fact that the German
fleet had been authoritatively described
as designed for action in the Pacific. The
japanese press had been in an uproar
over this declaration, Great Britain had
been stirred to greater naval prepare
tons. and Germany's relations had be-
come worse with well-nigh al! the prnci-
pal powers, but especially with France
Russia, Great Britain and Japan.
There ought to be an end to imperial
personal policies and interference with
the responsibilities OF the Chancellor
such as had been manifested recently
in tho Tower-Hill and the Tweedmouth
affairs. Practically the entire German
people was of one mind concerning the
ruinous effects OF direct imperial inter-
ference In the foreign affairs of the En-
pire. Loyal monarchists could only re-
greet that damage had been done the
monarchical principle, especially at
time when a strong Republican party
had grown up. This statement WAS
greeted with applause from the Social
lists.
Hit BY Socialist.
Herr l3assermunn said that they did
not demand the resignation OF ChsnceI-
Tor Won Buelow, but they did insist upon
some sort Of guarantee that the Chan
celior would guard his constitutional
ami resist unconstitutional
from the Emperor, The
party was loyal to the Emperor and
knew that he had been Rctuated only
by good motives. but II deplored the
OF a chasm between the
Sovereign and the people. and sincerely
hoped that this incident would be the
beginning of strict observance OF
relations
Herr Bassermann was followed by
Herr Wiener, Radical. who said in part
We regretted greatly the incident
over the appointments OF David Jayne
Inn to the post of American AmbassH-
dor In Berlin. tending, as II did, to dis
turb the good relations between the
United States and Germany. II was
well said on the other side of The ocean
that our representatives abroad shall
not be rheCkboOks, but men," This
statement brought out applause,
Herr Singer (SoclalisD declared that
Germany had sunk low in foreign opin-
ion through the incapncity and levity of
persons In responsible places. In the
system OF Germany the
King was the first servant of the state,
he declared, and II another servant Of
the state had done such thing as Em-
peror William ne would he brought be-
lore an imperial court FOR trial
