(This refers to Noske's tenure in the Bauer cab inet as minister of defense, which he was forced to relinquish as a result of the Kapp coup)
 For a considerable time back, a growing section of the German peo- pie had been fighting against the patronizing regime by the governing bureaucracy and it's recruitment from the well-to-do castes of the nation.
 "The success of this fight was incon- siderable The priviliged classes de- tended their predominant position with all the means at their disposal. Today the effect of this detrimental system is making itself felt in the shape of a disturbing lack of suitable men for positions in which high sense of responsibility must be com bined with great caution. A consld- erable part of the German people still expects even today that a wise gov ernment will look out for the veal of all to the best of it's ability. One of it's functions is to maintain faultless order with the same means of power it has always had at it's disposal
