Germany Is in "FOrmal State OF
Anarchy" Now.
Can't Be Improved Until Future
Government Decided On.
BY J. W. T. MASON.

New York, Dec. 9.-The spread of
disorder in Germany is beginning to
menace the stability of the present
combination of moderate Socialists.
i Bolshevism is not threatened, but a
more radical policy on the part of
the government is certain eventually
to result.
The Ebert-Haase group which now
theoretically controls the affairs of
government has in practice very little
power. and has been able to accom-
plish practically nothing in the way of
economic reform. The workers in
German industries are still negotiating
with their employers, who make
promises one day and break them the
next.
This situation can not last. Yet, it
is not possible for the Ebert-Haase
group to promulgate at present effec-
tive regulations on behalf of the work
ers because no sufficient power exists
in Germany for carrying out orders is
sued in Berlin.
The present status can not be i'm
proved until the forthcoming constit
uent assembly determines upon Ger
many's future form of government
and the people accept the decision.
Nation Without Head.
Germany is now a nation without
a head and is in a condition of formal
anarchy. mat the usual dHdTCiiiC
conflicts do not prevail is due to the
innate sense of obedience. for many
generations drilled into the character
and also the fear of utter destruction
that might be Germany's lot, If the
conditions Of Russia were to be dupli-
Gated.
The disorders now threatening Ger
many give evidence of being economic
in origin rather than political, and Tor
that reason they can be quelled by an
Improvement in the material well be-
ing of the German people. But any
effective scheme of industrial develop
nent must wait upon the creation OF
a stable and authoritative government
The Spartacus group, who demand
Spartan sternness is imposing an ex-
IRENE of communstic control over
Germany, is able therefore to make
political capital out of the general eco
nomic dissatisfaction. But if the Ger
mans now Withstand the Spartacus
argument, present developments indi-
cate that a moderate reform admins
| tretion will be established after the
meeting of the constituent assembly.
