LAW THROUGHOUT RHINELAND
Loose Federation
Bavaria's Plan

WIEMAR, April 3.-(By United
Press. Duo to the demands of Ba-
varia and the other south German
states, the new German republic will
undoubtedly be very decentralized
confederation of states. This is en-
tirely contrary to the hopes of the
majority of the Germans, especially
from the north, who hoped to model
the new organization after that of
France, rather than America, and
have as much power as possible plac-
ed in the federal government.
The Prussians were ready to do
practically anything to further this
plan. Definite ultimatums from the
Bavarians woke the Prussians up to
the situation. The committee to re-
organize industry worked out an
elaborate plan for the whole of Ger
many with regard to the railroads,
telegraphs, telephone and postal sys-
TENS. Prussia would turn everything
she had over to the republic, and ex-
pected Bavaria and Wurtemburg to
do the same. The Bavarians fatty
refused to do so, and the Wurtem-
burgers followed suit, in spite of the
fact the Prussia offered more than
her share.
Bavaria's position is one of ex-
treme independence now. Leaders do
not intend to allow their state to fall
under control of Prussia again, and
it is likely that the only confedera-
tion they enter will be one in which
Bavarian wishes must be consulted
before big questions are settled. Their
will probably be a de-
,isive brake on imperialism.
