the reparation program on July Is,
and yesterday sent Under Secretary of
Finance Schroeder and Dr.. Fischer to
Paris to lay the request for mora
forum before the Reparation Com
mission.
Opinion in official circles here is
that the request for moratorium will
be laid at once before the Allied
powers by the krpa: alton Commission
and will be considered along with the
proposal that another effort be made to
agree upon an international loan to
Germany.
While the financial situation thus
again assume the nature of a critical
political question, it became more acute
to-day when the Centrists and Demo-
Gratis fatty refused to admit the In
dependent Socialists into the coalition
government. Both the former parties
demand that the government make
every effort to obtain the entrance Of
the Peoples party into the Cabinet,
and this move is bitterly opposed by
the Independent Socialists.
1t appears in the face of this stu
alton that no majority is obtanable
for the anti Legislation
promised and that the dissolution of
the Reichstag and the calling of gen.
eral election Is inevitable.
The Centrist and Democrat leaders
to-day wired all the members of their
parties to be present at the Reicl1stag
on Tuesday, when the whole conflict
comes to a show down. The calling of
a general election at this time, it is
admitted on all sides, will provoke
quences of which, it is feared, will be
Of the most profound nature.
While the political and financial sit
uations are thus approaching q crisis,
repcrts of most disturbing nature
came to-day from the part Of Upper
Silesia occupied by the Poles. In Kat
towitz seven bombs were thrown at
houses occupied by prominent Ger
mans, all leaders in the political and
industrial life CT the section. Under
threats of ruin many Of the German
plants were compelled to close and a
general anti-German uprising is feared.
It is also stated that volunteer corps
on the German side of the border will
cross over and exact reprisals for the
damage done by the Poles.
Cabinet Faces Grave Issues
BERLIN, July 9 (By The Associated
Press .-Politica} and economic issues
of the gravest importance to the con
tinuance of the Wirth Cabinet in
Office await solution at home and
abroad this week. The most promi
nent of these concerns the Repa ration
attitude toward the Ger
man governments prospective request
for a revision of the gold payments
prescribed at Cannes a.
German industry is viewing with
anxiety the likelihood OF
Of early semi paralysis through
strike Of coal miners in the Ruhr re-
gion which is provided for in proc
Iamation issued by the miners union
expressing impotence with the delay
in the new wage negotiations. Hope
the workers final decision
rests in the district convention to be
held next Friday. Failing an outcome
the miners to continue their
operations there is possibility OF
eleventh hour intervention by the gov
through the appointments OF
new arbitration board. This is re-
garded as q last resort.
The strike, if called, will affect all
mine workers except miners of the
Christian and Polish miners unions,
which have specified their intention
of not participating. Iron ore and
Ignite workers already nave decldea
to join the strike unless blanket
wage scale is fixed Immediately. The
matter of overtime also is involved,
he miners feeling it means abrogatlng
The seven-hour day. But it is reported
hey are ready to come to an agree
nent on the overtime question If the
general wage demands ere satisfied.
Aggravating it's political worries, the
government is helplessly looking on as
The mark continues to decrease in
value, portending further upsets in the
Evil service wage budgets and other
financial calculations.
The government leaders do not hesi-
ate to vent the most bitter disap-
continent at the absence of moral or
PRACTICAL encouragement from the Allies
n the nations present plight, and
rankly assert that the German re-
,ublic's chances of surviving are
lutte as much dependent upon good
will from abroad as from internal
unity.
