Copenhagen. April l9- The uevs- papers here have obtained copies of the official report of the debate m the German Reichstag on the lmp.ral Budget. including the text of the speech made by the Socialist deputy. Stadtaagen, which the military ccu- sors refused to allow tbe German neWspapers to publish. The speech deals entirely with the German press censorship.
 Stadthagen said in part:
 From all parts of the country come strong protests against thc se- yerity, the inequality, the injustice, the inefGcieucy of the censorship. The military censors have made the whole of the Socialist press a target for their malicious attacks, which are not intended to preserve military seer ts, but to suppres the free discussion Of questions in regard to which the peo- pie of Germany have the fullest right to express their opinion. The Nolks- zeitung, our local organ at Danzig. was suppressed for saying that there was no danger of d famine in Cor many. but that the price of many me- cessities of life was too high for the working classes and imposed consider able hardships on them. At Koenies- berg our local daily paper was sup pressed for saying that the victories won by the German army were due 10 the fact that universal manhood suf- frage exists in Germany and 10 the right possessed by German workmeu 10 combine in trade unions or in poe liUcal associations

The Vorwaerts was not allowed | to reply to attacks made on it by an 1 other Berlin paper, the Neuestc Mach ricaten, which is a conservative organ although this journal had been per mted to libel tae VorWaerts in the greatest terms of abuse.
 "On another occasion the Norwaetrs was not allowed to publish "a speech made in the Berlin town council by Herr Wurum, in which the authorities were urged to prevent the prices ol necessary commodities of everyday life from being raised above a certain leven. The publication of the Nor waerts was temporarily susp nded for | declaring that the hostility existing in other countries against Germany was due to the fact that the German method of government is based on au- tocracy and militarism which togeth.
