GERMAN ELECTION VIEWS

BERLIN, June 7.-"Germany, as in I,
the year 1919, is again faced byI
chaos" Such was the swift verdict of
the Berliner Tageblatt while yet the
German general election returns were
coming in.
Though the final outcome may not
perhaps completely Justify such a
depth of despair, it certainly looked
as if the maintenance Of stable govern
ment was being jeopardized. Two of
the three coalition parties-namely,
the Democratic and the Majority Soc
ialist-have suffered defeats almost
approaching a catastrophe, and as
anticipated the consequent gains stand
to the credit of the extremists at
both ends. The Berlin workers have
voted in the proportion of about three
to one for the Independents as against
the Majority Socialists, though the
latter have done better in some other
parts of the country.
The avowed reactionaries of the
National Peoples's Party have gained
considerably, but the most sensational
victories have fallen to the People S
Party. Before it adopted the name,
after the revolution, of the People s
Party it was called the National Liber-
al Party. Under the new name, as
under the old, it represents wealth.
Just before the latest election the
Iparty underwent complete reorgani-
zation and with the unlimited money at
its disposal it conducted campaign of
propaganda whose intensity and en-
thusiasm seems to be justified by the
present success.
, In the late National Assembly, with
: only about a score of members, it was
] a negligible quantity. Now it is the
t new factor in German politics and the
r man behind the scenes is Hugo SHINES
millionaire owner Of all kinds of IN
: dustrial enterprises, including sixty
Z four newspapers. His recent buying W
S of number of leading journals was
the first sign that the German capital
lists intended making great bid fo,
d political power.

socialists, bewails the election result q

BRUTALITY PROVEN AGAINST
PALMER'S AGENTS

WASHINGTON, D. c. While At
torney General Palmer is branding as
"utterly false" the charges of Felix
Frankfurter, Roscoe Pound, P. Walsh,
Jackson H. Ralston, and eight other
well-known lawyers, of gross miscon-
duct in the Department of Justice,
the committee of twelve continue to
place before the American public facts
and figures in substantiation of their
contention.
How Russian workers in this country
were treated by agents of Mr.. Palmer
appears from the following summary
of the committees findings on this
point:
Affidavits by persons arrested in
or about the Russian Peoples House,
1873 East Fifteenth Street, New York,
on Nov. z, 1919, when a classroom
was entered by Department of Justice
agents, charge the use Of clubs and
iblack-jacks by the agents, who "beat
up" every one in the place and broke
all the furniture. Several hundred
prisoners were taken to Department
of Justice headquarters, 13 Park Row
where they were put through the
third degree of secret inquisition, and
fourfifths of them then released fol-
lack of evidence.
Affidavits charging unjust arrest
and persecution, prison cruelties, denia
Of prison rights, denial of opportuni
ties to prove innocence and refusal Of
right to communicate with relatives Of
friends, by persons in Detroit, New
York, and Jersey City are included
in the report.
An affidavit by Alexander Buko
wetsky, Detroit, arrested Nov. 9, 1919
at concert given by the Union o
Russian Workers, says that he an'
ten others were confined incommuni

LONDON, June 7.-Pfemier Lloyd
George, after a second conference this
afternoon with Gregory Krassin, So
Wet envoy and minister of trade, de-
livered speech in the House of Com
mons which clearly indicated that
Great Britain intended to enter upon
immediate trade relations with Soviet
Russia.
He replied to the numerous critic
isms which have been made against the
policy of resuming trade. 1T was cleal
that the premier intends TO carry the
negotiations with the Russian repre-
sentative through to general declara
tion of peace.
He derided the notion of refusing tt
trade with Soviet Russia because o.
the British dislike OF tbk Soviet form
of government and the bslief in "Bol
shevist atrocities"

The premier warned TIC House tina

The article said that when the cost

been claiming that the high cost OF
living Is due to high wages.) But. at

misinformed- probably and probably

per cent as much as the cost of living

wages have gone up only so per cent
