Creation of National Workers

German President Ebert.
SAYS RADICALS CAN NOT
BE Defeated VIA FORCE
Would Have Reds Deal With In
dustriaI Questions, but Pow
erless to Foil ReiChstag Bills;
SCheidemann Is Opposed.
BY FRANK j. TAYLOR.

Copyright 1919, by United Press.)
Weimar, Feb. 25-Creation of a Ma
tional Workers Soviet as the lower
legislative branch of the German gov
ernment is favored by President Eb-
ert as the only solution of the politi-
cal and economic situation.
Ebert believes the Soviets can not
be crushed and that they will not be
pacified until they are formally
recognized and given governmental
responsibility. According to his plan.
the proposed national Soviet would
deal with all industrial questions but
would have no power to veto mea-
sures passed by the reichstag, which
would remain the sovereign depart
ment of the government. The bum
desrat. which is powerless AMI very
useless, might be abolished to make
way for the soviet.
SCHEIDEMANN OPPOSED.
Chancellor Scheidemann and other
members of the cabinet have not yet
accepted the presidents radical
scheme. They deny the necessity for
recognizing the Soviets, hoping those
bodies will disappear gradually or be
crushed. But many strong leaders in
the reichstag (national assembly, are
Inclined to side with Ebert, and there

may shortly be forced to decision.
While the delegates are haranguing
over the details of the constitution,
which ignores the existence of thou
sands of workers Soviets throughout
Germany, the political and economic
situation Is becoming more and more
acute, bringing with it the realfza-
tion that positive steps must be taken
soon in one direction or the other.
BREACH WIDENING.
The matter is carefully avoided in
public discussions, but undercurrents
are revealing the growing split re-
garding the Soviets. ,
