NEW GERMAN CHANCELLOR
MAKES MAIDEN SPEECH

BERLIN, Dec. 9.-Dr Bethmann-
Hollweg, the chancellor, delivered his
maiden speech in the rcichstag today.
In simple language he set forth that
the imperial government S policy was
to stand aloof from parties and groups
of parties; in short, that the govern
ment was not a government by party.
Governmental measures would be
submitted to the reichstag for adop-
ton, said the chancellor, but he WAS
not disposed to define the constellation
of parties which ne thought would sup
port these measures.
The recent political crisis over the
taxation bill had made no change IN
German institutions, the chancellor
said. Radicallsts strove to divide all
Germany into two political camps; but
the existence of such dualism was q
fiction, devised for party objects. II
could not contribute to the sound de-
velopment of the country for every
proposal to be classified as either radi
cal or reactionary.
Germany, the chancellor affirmed,
needed continuous and steady policies,
both at home and abroad, to satisfy
the people to the end that their work
either material or intellectual, might
be undisturbed by disorders or expert
ments.
DR.. Bethmann- Hollweg gave an i'm
preston of strength His view of a
government without permanent party
connections and his manner Of EXPIRES
sion were those of strict bureaucrat,
