No Clear Decision

Yet, sweeping as were the changes,
they have resulted in no clear de-
cision. The complicated system Of
counting will probably delay for a
number of days a dehnitive state
ment of the result, yet such esti-
mates as are now available disclose
the fact that, combined, the Majority
and Independent Socialists will count
upward of 100 members in the new
Assembly, against approximately an
equal number in the last-1S5, to be
exact. Not improbably the final fig
ures will show some slight falling
off from the estimate Of 100, but,
nevertheless, there will be substan-
TALLY the same number of Socialists
in the new house as in the old.
SO far as the Socialists are con-
cerned what has happened has mere
~ been a change of faction by a
vast number of members of the
party. Dissatisfied with the weak
ness Of the Ebert government in
the face of Junker and militaristic
activities, notably in the case of the
Kapp rebellion, large numbers of
the radicals have gone over to the
New-York tribune., 1920-06-20

Il man election which have
at least equal Importance
namely, the bearing Of the re-
suit upon Germany herself and upon
the outside world. In no small de-
gree the peace and the economic
stability of the world depend upon
a return of the German people to
normal conditions, both for politi-
cal and economic reasons.
Now, so far as Germany herself
is concerned, it is plain that the
election has resulted in no clear de-
cision. There has been great
change in the strength of the parties
in the National Assembly. AS was
expected, that coalition which has at
least nominally ruled for nearly a
year and half has opened both to
the Right and to the Left-that is,
in the direction of reaction and of
revolution. The great gains at the
polls have been made by the indie
pendent Socialists, who represent
extreme radicalism, and by the Ma
tionalists and the Peoples party,
which stand for the old order and
represent the Junker.

man Election Bears No Promise of Peace to Europ

on the pretext that they We're seek
ing to spread Bolshevism in Ger
many. Thus noo only was tic revo,
luton a sham, but the army was
able under its cover to pay cid scores
nd eliminate men and women who
Nere seokirr y bring about real
change in Germany.
If the Majority Socialists do not
make a fusion With the Independ-
ents, if they turn to the Right again
and seek to make bargain with still
another reactonary group, or if
the Majority Socialists disintegrate
and the other parties, except the
Independents, make a coalition, thor
nothing is more certain than that
there will be new and more for
midable attempt to restore the old
order. Above all, everything will
be shaped in the direction of electing
Hindenburg for President in the fall
and using him as a rallying center
for a complete reaction.
The battle between the Right I'D
Left, between reaction and the revo-
luton, has, then, been indecisive.
Neither party has gained sufficient
strength to dominate. What has
happened has been that the moder-
ate parties have lost ground. Instead
of a more or less moderate group
controlling overwhelmingly. as hap
pened at the last election, the great
strength has gone to the groups
who wish to employ extreme meth
DDS, either the extreme radicalism of
the Independent Socialists or the
extreme reaction of the People s
party and the Nationalists. The
mass of the German electorate is
tired Of compromises it is tired of
halfway measures; the radicals are
tired of cooperation with the mod
crate reactionaries; the reactionaries
are done with association with the
less extreme of the radicals.
Prospect Not Pleasing
What docs all this mean for the
rest Of the world? Nothing imme
diately pleasing, that is certain
Germany is not going to settle dowr
to pay her debts and work out hel
future, if the present election is any
criterion. By contrast she is on the
| edge of a real domestic politica
struggle, a battle which may last in
definitely and lead to almost immeas
urable consequences. The grea
gains of the reactionaries are gains
for leaders and groups which advo

Separate Beds for Babies

Despite the mothers almost hys-

off to the nursery table and put on
an appropriate diet. To the great
astonishment of his protesting par

that he 500. won a prize at mis-

of the most important lessons are
learned outside the class room.
When the pupils first arrive they
generally object emphatically to hav-
ing their children separated from
them at night or during meals.
"But if you feed my baby only on
such things $ milk sxad rice Cruel,
it will die, protested one mother.
even though I give him meat,
cooked rice, tea and vegetables he
is very thin. I would not dare to
give him less, for he would surely
starve."

Demand New Election


Yet one fact seems worthy of en-
phass. The fall Of the Majority
Socialists is primarily to be ascribed
to the failure of the party, since it
was the dominant element in the
coalition, to make good the prom
ises, not merely in the matter of re-
storing order and peace at home, but
in dealing drastically with the old
regime.
It's failure to remove the servants
Of the old regime, both in the army
and in the civil service; its cowardice
in the face Of menaces coming from
the Ludendcrff crowd; above all, it's
abrupt flight from Berlin, when
Kapp struck, and it's subsequent fail
ure to punish those responsible for
that rising - these circumstances
have naturally and justly destroyed
it's credit with democratic and rad
ical Germany.
Just at present the outside world
seems to be more fearful of Boil
shevism than of Prussanism. There
is tendency in many quarters to
view with equanimity the return to
control of the old gang in Germany,
because, with all it's faults, that old
gang did know how to preserve order
and to crush anarchy. Both in Brit.
ain and the United States there has
been little sympathy for German de-
mocracy because that democracy has
been and unmistakably remains rad
ical, radical beyond anything exist
ing in the political life of either the
United States or Great Britain.
Hostile to the Junkers
Yet this, after ALL is, not impos-
sibly, short-sighted view. The one
party in Germany which is frankly,
honestly, whole -heartedly hostile to
the older order, to the Junkers and
to the militarists, is the Independent
Socialist party. Its accession of
strength is a gain for the single po-
litical force which can be depended
upon to seek democratic ends, at least
to the extent of getting rid of the
Ludendorffs and fighting all such
New-York tribune., 1920-06-20

olic party would seem more likely,
and such a fusion would provide a
clear majority for some new minis
try.
But, after all, the majority of OBJ
servers, in Germany and out, seem to
hold to the opinion that no one of
the several possible readjustments is
probable. On the contrary, there
seems, particularly in the German
press. to be tendency to regard the
election as merely the first step in a
new condition Of chaos, and there
are insistent demands for a new
election to avoid what promises to
be a hopeless deadlock.
