AMSTERDAM, June 20, by The Asso-

of social conditions in Prussia as present |
ed during the debate on June Is on the |
budget of the ministry of the interior in
the house of deputies by the Socialist
member Braun:
1--WE are face to face with terrible
condition of public morality. We hear
of numberless cases of thefts on railroads
and alarming Juvenile criminality. Ac-
eording to official statistics between Oc
tober, 1916, and November, 1917, there
were 4S7T26 convictions for attractions
of the food regulations and these were
only small percentage of the actual
transgressions committed.
CAS- for that, we are all sinners. Prof
| iteering exceeds all bounds; usury is
rampant among all classes. Fraudulent
profiteering, like that of the Daimler
works, is nowise exceptional. Even Off
cial bodies attempt to extort illegal prof

triotism, perhaps, are still found in the
trenches, but in the invaded regions prof

longer the war lasts the worse it be-
comes.
added to this is the Fatherland par
tvs wild war batting propaganda and re-
fusal of equal suffrage. What wonder
that popular evaporation burst forth in

Herr Braun further pilloried the nefari-
Gus activities of police and informers and
; the hateful hypocritical censorship.
J The prohibition of the acknowledgment
of gifts by soldiers to the socialistc
, funds, he said, was ordered for the pur-
, pose of Withholding from public knowl-
edge the magnitude of the demand in the
army for peace and equal suffrage.
He further mercilessly indicted the sys

the accusation of bribery with Anglo
