Berlin. Aus. 27.-(By The Associated
Press)-The government has visioly
been disconnected over the possible ef-
fects of two events which occurred
Friday, both of which were wholly un-
eSpected-the murder in Baden OF
Matthias Erzberger. former vice chan
cellor, and minister of finance ana
demonstrations in Munich against high
prices and the alleged reactionary
methods of the Bavarian authorities.
The assassination of Herr Erzherger
which is viewed here as an abhorrent
political murder and the situation in
Munich are regarded as having the
aspects OF storm signals. the results OF
which cannot be fortold at this hour.
The government has given pubic ek-
preston of its repugnance at the Kill
ing OF the former vice chancellor who
not only was personal friend OF
Chancellor Wirth but also was close
party colleague of the chancellor.
Herr Erzborger generally was count
cd as attached to. the left wing OF the
clerical party in opposition to former
chancellor F'ehrcnbach, Dr. Peter
SPAIN and other centrist veterans who
never discussed their political differ
encss with Herr ErzberGer.
That the latter, in the event OF his
temperance in politics In support of
reason OF tho bitter political cnmity to
aim in many quarters to become =
menace to Chancellor Wirth's admin
istra ton was commonly conceded and
friends of the chancellor are quoted as
privately commenting that the murder
carries n certain irony in that II freed
the chancellor of a menacinG political
encumbrance.
Tho government apparently is more
than apprchensive In respect to the
ramifications threatened in the Bava-
rian situation which now is resolving
itself into n final tcst Of strength
