however, Wilhelm II will be faced by
the fateful decision of his life, in
which he must choose one Of three
courses:
!. Abdcate. I
?. Abolish paragraph II of TIE
imperial constitution and thereby
sign away his autocratic power OF !
making war and peace. This will
reduce him to a figurehcad, q shadow |
emperor.
3. Defy President Wilson and the
wcrld by summoning his armed forces
to q fight to the last ditch. Thus he
would court internal revolt.
Williams mere abdication, accord
ing to best diplomatic opinion here,
will not suffice. The question Of qucs-
.ions is; "WIho will succeed him."
