undergone a fundamental change. A
new government has been formed III

secret, direct franchise
1.-THE leaders of the great parties OF

flee without possessing the confidence
Of majority Of the Reichstag.
"The responsibility Of the Chancel
lor of the Empire to the representa-

act of the new government has to lay
before the Reichstag bill to alter
the constitution of the Empire so that
the consent of the representation OF
the people is required for decisions
on war and peace.
1.-THE permanence of the new sys

by constitutional safeguards, but also
by the unshakable determination OF
the people whose vast majority stands
behind these reforms and demand
their energetic continuance.
THE question Of the President
with whom he and the governments
