 THE HAGUE, Wednesday, Nov. 13.- In debate in the second chamber, in which the premier announced an in creased bread ration and the success of the negotiations with the associated governments for the securing of better food supplies, and appealed for the peoples support by avoiding excesses, Pieter J. Troelstra, the socialist leader, accused the government of a. lack of frankness in dealing with the chamber and declared that the people no longer would tolerate secret wire pulling.
 We now assert that the militarist influence emanates from the queen and her entourage, which is in contradic tion at every point with the spirit of the people," said M. Troelstra. "The government instead of rejoicing at what has occurred abroad, rather gives the impression of a careful housewife afraid for her china cupboard.
 The government appeals for order because the social democracy sees that the moment has arrived to take over the power of the state. The promise of better food fails to touch the great questions advanced by the social, dem ocratic and labor party, which will be decided at the Rotterdam congress Sunday.
 Time for Action
 ''The workers will not abandon their rights for mess of potage. We do not desire anarchy or violence, but the his toric events in Germany happened practically without violence, because there they understood that the moment had arrived for socialism. We should | betray the workers if through fear of violence we allowed this historic mo ment to pass.
 The government will not be able to rely upon the army, because the army consists of workers who have been | treated by the wealthy classes in such a manner that the army has become their worst enemy. Neither will the government be able to rely on two thirds of the police force to act against the social democrats. We. aspire tc power because the government nc longer has the power or right to gov ern."
