cratic Peoples party. still remains pre-
eminently the Catholic party. Its aim
was 10 unite under the hauner of the
Roman Church such classes as the large
land owners, the small farmers and the
workers in great industrial concerns.
The German Peoples party is none
other than n portion Of the National
Liberal party, that organization which
was Bismarck's chief political tool. Be-
fore the war the National Liberals were
termed the national m~lserables' party.
A portion of the party, which seeded.

In forming the German Democratic
party. The Progressive Peoples party
represented the old liberal ideals. 1t
advocated an extended franchise and a
strengthening of the power of the Reichs.
tag. It neglected agrarian supper to
WIN that of business men and Industrial
lists, and always needed considerable
pressure to support social reform. The
revolution has fulfilled even moro
adequately than 1t advocated most of
It's demands, and the party in which
1t has merged has one main concern
TO defend economic freedom against So
cialism.
Social Democrats Split
'n.i Coile inc Two SOCIALIST parties,
the Majority and the Minority. The war
split the Social Democrats into those
two factions and the revolution has only
tended TO widen the breach which came
ABOUT on the question Of voting or re-
fuslng war credits. They stand, as is
well known, for moderate and extreme
Socialism, respectively.
FINALLY we have the Spartacus group,
hitherto a nonparliamentary body. ad-

proletariat and a world revolution i'm

The Bolshevikt are taking no part in
the actual election, standing ominouslv
aloof, hiding their time. They look

new Government dispenses with the
services of many thousands of employees.
