Outcome Still
" In Doubt

Then the two Conservative parties con
solldated into one, hoping to save some
thing from the wreck which they have
made of their political fortunes. but it is
not probable that they will be able to carry
many districts for the convention. Even
the peasants will now turn and rend them.
Negotiations were begun also between the
National Liberals and Progressives LOOKING
toward an amalgamation. Before they
were concluded, however, project was
launched to organize a great democrat c
party out of the Progressives and the left
wing of the National Liberals, along with
the more democratic elements of the Cath
olic party. This movement appears to be
attracting considerable strength. but the
first result of its activity was the breaking
off of the negotiations between National
Liberals and Progressives because the new
democratic party put forth demands to
relegate the anneXationist wing of the Ma
tlonal Liberals to the background
Thus the outcome is in doubt. but with
the chances favorable TO the Socialists Of
the more Moderate tendency But if the
anti-Socialist elements win a majority in
the convention and in the first Reichsrae
OHoSeH uhoet tHe new constitution what
then? VIII the Socialists accept the situ-
alton and surrender their present poyer?
All the declarations of the Socialist lead
ers OF the type of Ebert and scheidemann in
dicate that they are willing to play true
to the majority principle They have re-
peatedly declared their Willingness to leave
everything to the constitutional cenventio,
and they have put forth such declarations
precisely in opposition to the proposals OF
the Independents ard Sparticides for imme-
date and wholesale socialstic experiments
in advance of the convention
1t may be assumed. therefore, from all
the facts in hand that the German revolu-
tlon IS likely to move henceforth in peace
aeie channels, whatever party holds the
reins of government. This assumes that
DA Liebknecht and his rampant following
shall continue to be condemned to their
present impotence. And some type of So
ciaiism will probably follow, more pro-
nounced than the world has yet known.
New-York tribune., 1918-12-22
The Extremists
L. Losing Their Hold

The congress, together with other news
published at the same time indicated
clearly that the extremists were losing their
hold. 1t refused by to 1 majority to
invite DR.. Liebknecht to address it, and
Herr Mueller, who had a month ago offered
his corpse as road-making material, made
a speech in a far mider tone The Inde-
pendents and Spartacides in the congress
were far outnumbered by the other ele-
ments. Moreover, in the elections for the
state constitutional convention in the for
mer duchy of Anhalt, the Independent So
cialists could not even put out ticket be-
cause they could not get a sufficient num-
ber of signatures.
The weakness of the Independents and
still more radical elements in the Berlin
Congress seems to be guaranty that no
project of Specialization" will be under
New-York tribune., 1918-12-22

taken in advance of the constitutional con-
Ventlon. The Independents had strongly
demanded immediate action in that drec-
ton, but the position of Ebert, Scheidc-
mann and the old Socialists was that all
such vital decisions must be left to the
constitutional convention and the first ma
tlonal legislature of republican Germany
Even Kautsky, the leading MARKHAM thinker
of Germany, who has trained with the In
dependents since the split of 1916, has
come out strongly against the sudden and
immediate naturalization of big industries.
He says that such step would bring pro-
duction to standstill for a time, and adds:
"This kind of socialism, just at this mo-
ment of rehabilitation, would
transform Germany into a madhouse."
Nevertheless, there will undoubtedly be
adopted in Germany some pronounced form
of socialist production, provided that the
Socialists keep control of the government
tai machinery. When the revolutionary
government was recast November 12, with
Ebert and Haase the leaders in it, the
declarations of policy agreed upon by the
two factions expressly included the purpose
to realize the socialistic programme" AS
understood by the Ebert -Scheidemann wing
of the party, however, this would mean
only such gradual Transformation as
could be carried out without any Interrupt
tlon of production or any great industrial
convulsions.
In carrying out such a moderate and
gradual scheme of naturalization the So

this executive committee proposed 10 eyer
speech made by it's chairmen one Richard
Mueller-an utterly unknown man brought
to the surface by the revolution--at a
great meeting of the Workmen's and SOL
diers councils held at Berlin November 10.
Mueller said 81 have to keep watch over
the executive power Of the government. and
"hen II no longer acts in harmony with the
executive committee the latter has the right
to turn the government out" Mueller. we
are told, is young man of about thirty
Bat the meeting got a further taste of
Mueller's sans -culottism. He opposed the
calling of a constitutional convention al
together until further developments might
make it possible. He said: eve do not
want a democratic republic but a prole-
tarlan one. We will not surrender
our power If we should call the consttu-
tional convention now that would be equiv
alent to q death sentence against us Work
mems Councillors. have risked nv life
fer the revolution, but the road to the con-
stitutional convention will pass over nv
dead body"
This wild speech was followed by one
from Hugo Haase, hitherto leader of the
Independent Socialists. He admitted that
the government derived its powers from
the councils, and said further that the
Specialization" of large and important in
dustries was necessary if the Germans
were not to be enslaved. Ebert, who played
distinctly second role upon this occasion,

ever, that your comrade will share with
you his Christmas Eve presents"
THAT is understood. Thank you, cap
taln,' cried Versepied, exultantly.
"You must thank the person who sent
them. l wish you joy, my children"
The package contained various eata-
bles, which were carefully unwrapped.
Among them were sausage, some ham.
a pot Of pate de foie gras some boxes of
lobster, sardines, chocolate, biscuits and
preserves, nuts, oranges, apples, several
punches of cigars and of cigarettes.
"a hundred thousand devils." shouted
Versepied There is enough here for

Then, noticing little case tied with a
rose coored ribbon, he opened it and
drew from it an object covered with
tissue paper.
Excuse Ne" he said "This ought
to be my personal property"
why so?"
Yes, because it seems to me to have
the air of a personal belonging. We
shall see. There is letter here from
my godmother. 1t will give us a clew
to the mystery"
He pulled out the letter. Then he un-
covered the present. 1t was a pipe.
And what pipe! A beautiful piece
of briarwood, deicately and artistcally
carved, with leather case and an ele.
giant amber mouthpiece.
well! Well!" exclaimed one of the
comrades. "You could make a present
like that to Joffre. A gift of that sort
IS worth while"
Joker, don't you see that it is black

New-York tribune., 1918-12-22

clallsts may expect considerable help from
elements OF the population not hitherto re-
garded as Socialist. For example, con-
soldaton Of the Catholic and other non
Socialist labor unions with various orpani
cations OF the employees of the government
and of private commercial concerns was re-
Gently effected, with a programme which
includes the following points: "Organic
and systematic socialization of economic
life, along with the maintenance of ner-
sonal initiative and efficiency and capacity
to compete in foreign trade, and the par
ticipation of the labor unions in any gov
crnment measures for the socialization of
industrial establishments" Thus even non
Socialist elements of much Importance are
ready :. cooperate in the transformation Of
Germany into some form of socialistic
state. Moreover, most of the Progressive
Gold RadicaD leaders now clearly recog-
nize the necessity of extending socialistic
legislation without clearly defining the
limits to which they will go.
The prospects for the Socialists to get
majority in the constitutional convention
may be regarded as excellent, though it
would be hazardous to make predictions.
1t is true that they obtained only about
one-third Of the total national vote in the
elections of 1912, but much has happened
since then, and that election can by no
means be used as criterion in forecast
ing the results Of this one. 1t is certain
that the war has had tremendous effect
in radicalizing the political views of the
German soldiery. At the same time the
attitude of the Scheidemann-Ebe Social
lists, during the and since the revolu-

XX7hat Will Happen to
w The Socialists?

On the other hand, there is one impor
tant fact that makes directly against the
Socialists. 1t is we'll known that great
many Germans have hitherto voted with
the Socialists without being themselves
convinced Socialists They voted with
them only in order to make the most Wig
orous possible protest against the old Ger
man government and all that it stood for
Thus there were districts in Greater Berlin
which were carried by the Socialists, al
though it was certain that the people living
same thing was more or less true all over
Germany. Now it is highly probable that
very many such men, now that they see
socialism about to be put into effect, will
draw back and vote for less radical candi-
dates. Many facts have also reached US by
cable going to show that the returning
troops by no means given over wholly
to socialistic views.
Elections just held do not give concIu-
sive basis for forecasting the result of the
elections for delegates to the national CON
stitutional convention. In the election in
Anhalt the Socialist secured majority Of
about 25000 in total of $4,000 votes
whereas there was majority against them
of about 5000 in a total of 5000 in the
election of 1912. On the other hand in
the election in the former Grand Duchv of
Mecklenburg for members of the state con-
stitutional convention the Socialists elected
only two members out Of total of twen-
ty-two, the Liberals electing sixteen, but

The adjutant was returning up the

This meeting adopted a resolution de-
claring against calling constitutional con-

elements hoped thereby to wrest power
from the hands of the Socialists. On the

has been held this week at Berlin The
question of calling the constitutional con-
