WOULD RESERVE RIGHT
TO FORM|NEW GOVT.

Berlin, Oct. 27.-The members OF
the executive committee OF the Ger
man national peoples party of Off
cials, those who hold state positions,
have voted to sign the oath to the
constitution which is obligatory for
all state employees only on condition
that they are exempt from swearing
loyalty and that they should be al
lowed to strive for another form OF
government than the present.
The officials term the oath con-
Trajectory and declare that the con-
stitution itself guarantees absolute
freedom OF political views and be-
liefs.
The vorwaerts sarcastically says
that they will not take the oath to
the republic but do not want to lose
their bread-winning positions.
They could not be more nervy,'
the paper adds. "What considera.
tion did the monarchical system
give the officials who had twin gers
tof- conscience against giving the oati
to the monarch" 1t asks.
