Germany, and the resumption
of "brotherly connection" with
the Russian and Hungarian
peoples is announced in the
proclamation of the new Soviet gov
ernment for Bavaria, formed here.

the proclamation concludes.
The text of the document reads:
The decision arrived at for Ba-
varia is the formation of council
of the republic of revolutionary
workers and peasants Of Bavaria,
| including all our brothers, now
united, separated by no party laws.
From now on no exploitation or OPP
preston will be tolerated. The die
| tatorship of the proletariat has now
| become a fact. The legalization of
genuine socialistic community now
is achieved, in which every working
man may participate in public life
and in a just socialistic age.
"The lantag has been dissolved
and the old ministry retired. Peo-
pies commissaries, responsible to
the people and chosen by council
of the working people, will receive
extraordinary powers to be employ
ed in certain labor fields. Their as
all parts of the revolutionary and
socialistic community. Countless
valuable forces of officialdom, espe-
cially from the lower middle official
class, will be asked to cooperate in
the new work. The bureaucratic
system will be absolutely eliminated
and the press will be socialized.
