Dictatorship Threatened if
Radicals Insist on Vice
Chancellor
Reactionaries Gaining
New Parliament Coalition
May Overturn Present
Majority Bloc

COPENHAGEN, Nov. s.-The threat
that military dictatorship is inevi-
table unless insistence upon a radical
Vice Chancellor is dropped and the
government Of Count Won Hertling as
il now stands in accepted is held out
over the progressive democratic eIe-
ments in Germany.
Count Won HertlinS. through a semi
official note in the "Norddeutsche All
gemeine Zeitung," announces that no
promises whatever were made TO give
the radicals the two posts they desire.
Representatives OF the Reichstag ma
iority have issued an equally suthorita-
tive announcement that they adhere TO
their old position. The radical press
indicates that the Chancellor's COM
promise proposal, TO appoint radical
deputy 10 the newly created Ministry
for Occupied Territories with seat in
the Prussian Cabinet, is not acceptable
because such a post would be merely
temporary and the occupant would be
powerless in the face Of the military
authorities.
A Reactlonary Drift

toward the goal desired By the resc-
tionaries, that is, split in the present
minority in the Reichstag and the

the Conservatives and the National
Liberals. Such a bloc, which would
have q bare majority in the Reichstag,
is by no means impossible despite the
apparent unity proclaimed by the ma
joriry caucus.
The Catholic Centrum is by no means
adverse 20 following the Chancellor
along a road marked with party ad-
vantages. The National-Liberals, who
for the most part are Conservatives and
snnexationists and whose hearts never

nouncement of the vice-presidency OF
the Prussisn Cabinet their dissstisfac-
ton with the attitude Of the radicals
and the Socialists. They are probably
quite ready 70 link up with the So
cialists in an alliance. Herr Friedberg
gave as the reason for his withdrawal
that these parties advanced such pre-
tentions 20 his prospective Office which
could not be fulfilled. and in so doing
rendered vain hopes OF creating a de-
pendsble working majority in Parlis-
ment.
Socialists Hold Out
The Socialists apparently have aban-
doned the dictum expressed by Philip
Scheidemann on Sunday that the new
Won Hertling government provided all
necessary guarantees OF responsible
popular government as a pre-condllon
to peace. The Socialists declare that
they have no confidence in an admins

TIME Maximalist coup d'etat. result
ing in a temporary overthrow
Of Kerensky and his govern
uent has brought Russia pereeptloIy
nearer her remote destiny-thst OF
bringing order out Of chaos and build
ing out Of the broken pieces Of de-
mocracy a stable, permanent govern
ment.
The collision between the two politi-
cal camps into which the country has
been divided is an event which mas
been srdently hoped for BIZ every Rus
sian sympathizer since the revolution
For in such conflict the Bolshevih
are doomed 70 final and decisive defeat.
The Bolshevih may occupy all the pal
aces and strongholds of Petrograd, as
they did during their instruction OF
last July; they may impose their Will
briefly upon the members Of the gov
eminent and claim control of the CAPT
tai. but they cannot dominate for more
than a brief period the indignant. loyal
forces of the Russian nation.
A Sinister Element
The Bolsheviki as an element Of OPP
position, have constituted dangerous
and sinister menace to the country,
poisoning the loyalty of the people,
obstructing industry and defying the
government to exercise its authority.
But the Bolshevik party in power. as
suming the responsibility Of a govern
ment, is a helpless and futile anomaly.
In order to explain this. let me
briefly outline the composition Of the
Bolshevik party. They can be con-
venicntly, and, think, accurately, d.
vided into three groups.
First, there are innumerable German
paid agitators and prOpsgandists
whose sole purpose is TO reduce the
country to complete anarchy.
I The second class is composed OF fan
atics, escaped criminals, released po-
litical prisoners and expatristed Rus
SLAMS, whom political amnesty brought
back 20 the country. These. the sense
of accumulated wrongs, real and ina
/ ginary. Of half century, has driven
into q frenzy Of anarchistic revolt,
and without sharing the motives OF
their German leaders. they find their
doctrines quite congenial.
The third and largest class Is tire
mendous body of ignorant workingmen
and soldiers with nebulous notions OF
democracy. who have been taught by
their leaders that freedom is de-
bauch of idleness and that properly in
terpreted liberty means q complete re-
versal Of power which will give them a
gratifying tyranny over their old mas
/ tiers. .
This. briefly, is the Bolshevik. Max
| imalist or extreme Socialist faction, IN
/ Russia. It is made up Of the dis
eruntled. unfit, defective elements IN
| the population. which, without con
scious disloyalty to their country, have
formed the easiest possible prey Tor
German propaganda.
