Rhineland does not wish to be indie
pendent of Germany, nor does II want TO

Many differences between the Rhine
land and Prussia antedate the war. The
Rhineland holds that taxes we're not
proportionately distributed and political
offices were not fairly apportloncd, and
then there Is the old religious question,
the Rhineland being intensely Catholic
and opposing Protestant Prussia's aim
of divorCing religious from civil affairs,
and especially seCularizing the schools.
These matters the Rhineland seeks to
bring before the National Assembly, but
not before n convention of Workmen's
Councils.
