but a committee has been appointed
to which has been given a kind of
government monopoly of political dis
cussion. Fifty speakers have been
chosen, one speaker being allotted to
each Of fifty simultaneous meetings,
and presumably heckling is not in or
der. Albert Balm is a member of
the committee, and comes in for a
sharp attack from the Neuste Mach
richten of Berlin, which is suspicious
of the committees work and purpose.
Foremost in opposition are the pan
Germans, who see in the plan a move
ment to persuade the German public
of the necessity of abandoning the
dreams of expansion by conquest with
which the pan German movement has
for a decade been identified. To have
to leave their Flemish brothers in
Belgium outside the fold would be a
tragedy to this large and influential
group, which quite naturally is furious
at being muzzled while governments
spokesmen are allowed to talk. 1t will
be interesting to see how the expert
ment works.
Democracy may make headway in
Germany after the war, in education if
in nothing else. Already, on the
ground that so many Of the most pro
missing youths of the nation have been
lost, there is a demand for reforming
the school system so as to give a
chance to talent in every social STRAIT
um. A proposal strongly advocated Of
late is the extension of free element
airy schooling and the abolition of the
vorschule or schools preparatory to
secondary schools. This would give
boys a common training up to the
age of - or so, by which time their
bent would be more obvious, and those
with a turn for study could be help
ed, if they needed help. to go on in
an advanced school suited to their
needs. In some part at least, the
failure of Germany to open the door
of opportunity more freely has been
due to a superduity Of educated men
It may be that the system has squan-
dered much talent Of the finer sort
but it has never failed to provide
enough and to spare Of the compe-
tence which comes from training, am
bition and industry OF those who
have the chance the proportion, In
so intense a country, of those who
fail to make full use Of it is remark
ably small, so that there has never
till now, been need Of calling upon
the unprivileged for reinforcement;
the danger has rather been of a
growing educated proletariat. But the
war has cut short many promising
careers, and in consequence the way

but are fantastic hymns of victory
that mock truth, in an effort to under
mine German confidence"
But how can the war bulletins of
the allies threaten the confidence of
the German public when the govern
ment has had no reason in the past to
prohibit the circulation of the claims
made by the enemy, and has indeed
made a point of its liberalty in this
respect. As to the battle of the
Marne, the German public, neutral OBJ
servers say, has never learned the
full truth, but in general the German
case has been so good that enemy
claims have not mattered, and where
there has been a discrepancy the pub
lie has dismissed them as fables. If
the general staff feels obliged to lee
ture the public now on its want of
faith, the fact is significant.
