GERMANS ITCH FOR
 PROMISED REPORTS

Following the overthrow of th2 Russian Car. Philip Scheidmann. the great Socialist leader in the reichsta 7 says in the socialist newspaper. Nor- uaerts:
 "It does not require many words |" explain why almost the whole world is arraved against us. The answer is s'yep quickly. The whole world see ; 2 nong our enemies more or less de- vrloped forms of democracy and in us it sees only Prussians.
 We have always answered by ref- erring to the absolutism of Russia. hut now czarism has gone and the tmperor's successor is to accept the throne only if the representatives of rhe people agree. These representa- lives are to be elected on the basis of universal suffrage.
 Tn Asia the empire of the man darins opposed every reform. They desired an emperor with absolute power as long as he did their will and thereby undermined the monarchy and laid the foundations of a repub- lie. In the European central empires similar spirits seek to build similar Chinese walls and hinder every re- form The clock shows five minues to 12 They imagine they hold up the time when they move back the hands to l 1.
 "Why does the chancellor shrink Jack now from unconditional neces- sity, Always the hesitator, the pro- clastinator, Bethmann-HOllwe wants 70 begin to cure Prussia after the war. Russia also promised all reforms aft er the war, but the war lasted too long for the Russians.
 Why postpone till tomorrow what is absolutely necessary today, what even the king himself declared years ago was one of the most urgent mat ters of the business of the state? Now is the time for decisive action.
 The difficulties which might arise if the government adopts the reich stag system of elections for Prussian elections are as a featherweight as compared with the difficulties which will come if it does not do this. The chancellor should not delay one day. The Prussian people, as we'll as the other German states, will stand as one man by his side if he acts de- cisively."
