VICE CHANCELLOR
FAVORS REFORM
His Speech for Franchise
Bill Creates Scene in
German Reichstag
CBy Associated Press)

Amsterdam, Tuesday, Feb. %
Friedrich Won Payer, the German
vice chancellor in his address to the
reichstag, urged the people to stand
behind the army and made a spirited
defense Of the Prussian franchise re-
form bill.
There is only one standpoint, he
said, for home politics today, in the
fourth year Of the war, namely, the
concentration Of all the forces of the
empire to the unity of citizens and
labor and readiness for sacrifice to
enable the army to fulfill their heavy
tasks. To that end things which still
divide the various classes of the
population must be removed. 1t is
quite Ineligible that the heavier the
sacrifices and war burdens laid up
on us, the greater will the mass Of
the population be dominated by as
piTations after political power, poll
teal freedom and influence on the
government No power on earth can
crush this idea and these aspirations.
From the start the allied German
governments have taken this into
account and II is their desire to con-
tinue along this path.
The vice chancellor then alluded
to opposition to the PTussian fran
Chise bill saying:
Il cannot believe thai those par
ties in whose hands the decision lies
will fail to realize what they owe to
the public in this critical hour and !
hope they will emphatically repudiate
the suspicion that they really aim at
an intOlerable delay"
The vice chancellor's speech Of
Tended the conservative sections of
the reichstag seriously, judging from
the comment upon the address in a
Berlin dispatch to the KoelnisChe
Volks Zeitung which says
1T was known that Won Payer de-
sired to settle accounts with the
conservatives and he did so perhaps
more than it was good for him to do.
A passionate outbreak accompanied
this part Of his speech from all the
conservative sections OF the reich
stag.
There were frequent scenes Of
tumult, seriously interrupting the
delivery Of the speech and at its
close his friends were fain to drown
the Kisses in the house and in the
galleries by clapping and shouting.
