GERMAN Trend IS ]
MODERATE REFORM

NEW YORK. Dec. e.-The spread

The Ebert-Haase group, which now
theoretically controlS-shs anairs OF
Germany. has, IN practice. very little
power, and has been able to accom-
plish practically nothing in the way
OF economic reform. This workers IN
German Industries still are negotiat-
ing with their employers, who make
promises one day and break them tbs
next
ThlA situation cannot last. Yet II
Is not possible for the Ebert-Haase
group to promulgate. at present. eff
fective regulations on behalf OF the
workers. because no sufficient power
exists in Germany for carrying out
orders issued IN Berlin
Nation wIthout Head.
The present status cannot be i'm
proved until the forthcoming constitu-
emit assembly determines upon Ger
many8 Iulure form OF government
and the people accept the decision.
Germany, a new nation without .
head, Is in a condition OF formal an
archy. That the usual anarchic con-
fiicts do not prevail Is due to the i'm
nate sense OF obedience drilled for
many generations into the German
character and also the fear Of utter
destruction that might be Germany's
lot IL the conditions OF Russia were
to be duplicated.
Disorders EeOnomie.
The disorders pow threatening Ger.
many give evidence OF being economic
IN origin rather than political, and
for that reason they can be quelled b.
an improvement in the material we'll

effective scheme OF Industrial develop
ment must wait upon the creation %

The spartacus group. which de-
mands Spartan sternness in imposing

make political capital out OF the gem
eral economic dissatisfaction. But II
the Germans now withstand the Spar
