Questions the German National As
sembIy Must Answer.

The chief issues to come before the
German National Assembly, which Is
10 meet this week Mt Weimar, are
being rather clearly defined by the
discussions throughout Germany. The
strength of the contendlng political
parties and their alignment upon a
national policy remain, despite the
results of the recent elections, mat
ters Of considerable doubt. The pro-
Visions of new constitution have
apparently taken second place to the
consideration of the character of the
union between the different German
States; whether they shall constitute
united State or confederation Of
self.governing political units.
That the fear Of extreme socialism
IL not entirely removed is shown by
the announcement that the local gar
rtson at Weimar has been increased
to prevent possible trouble by agita-
lions OF the communist or Spartacus
groups. The opinion so far expressed,
even by some Of the former Radical
Socialist organs, Is to the effect that
II Bolshevism Is not killed in Germany
the strong measures taken by the pro
visional Government have rendered II
practically powerless. PHILIP ScHEJ-

terest a Former Saloon Keeper.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Str: The
reply Of City Marshal Herman to my
letter in which ! briefly described my
many tribulations while In the saloon
business contains this remark by way
Of sarcasm:
He does not say what kind of rurni-
ture he is now selling-barroom or
other fixtures"
What a preposterous remark. when
he knows that on January 10, 1920, all
barroom fixtures will be so much junk.
Does Mr.. Herman know Of any brewer
IN New York who would now advance
500 on a mortgage on the most artistic
and palatial fixtures? Does Mr. Tier
nan know OF any vender OF whiskey or
beer with confidence enough In the
future to rig out cafe? Not one.
These indLsputable facts should sat

present Government, says that the
Majority Socialist party will remain a
decisive factor within the Government
and that 1t will defeat the growth Of
radicalism. The present indication,
according to the reports from Ger
many, is that the Majority Socialists
and the Democrats will form a coall-
ton which will give them command
of about $50 votes. a safe working
majority.
The fear that Prussia will continue
to have the power which 1t exercised
under the Empire Is the principal
cause of the contention rs to the
form Of the future union Of the
States. This is evidently felt even
within Prussia itself and resulted in
making the question Of the partition
Of the former kingdom into eight
small States one Of the issues in the
elections for the Prussian Constltu-
tional Convention. The contention of
all the smaller States is that in a mod
ern Germany there IS no room for n
hegemony like that of the Hohenzol-
lern creation" The difficulty which
has so far faced the builders of Ger
man republic is a division of the Prus-
sian territory that would be satisfac-
tory to the people who would form the
new States.
German leaders Of all parties have
shown strong desire to bring about
a satisfactory settlement Of their ma.
tonal questions as quickly as possible.
They have no desire to repeat the
mistakes made Mt the National AS
sembly at Frankfort in 1S4S-49, when
a year was spent in useless dis.
cussions and the whole outcome
Of the meeting was lost to the
German people. With the evident
design Of preventing a waste Of time
in discussions and Of expediting the
course of legislation Premier EBxRI
few days ago called a meeting
OF representatives Of all the German
States at Berlin to consider proposals
for the new constitution. According to
reports there has been. however, little
progress made, fact which does not
argue that the Assembly will end
Its session within the two months
which the leaders have announced as
its time limit.
