BERLIN, Nov. ii (By The Associated
Press The Cabinet of Chancellor
wirth resigned tonight after the
United Socialists had voted not to par
tiefpate in q coalition ministry which
included members of the German
Peoples party.
DR.. Joseph Wirth has been Chan
telior Of Germany since May 10, 1921,
when he took the head of the govern
nent on the resignation of Konstan-
tine Fehrenbach. The Nirth Cabinet
tsndered its resignation on October %,
1891, but was reformed with q new per-
sernel, headed by Wirth, two days
later.
Socialists Stumbling Block
For some time DR.. Wirth has faced
troublous times owing to his ministry's
program with regard TO reparations,
the stabilization of the mark and the
general economic and internal and ex-
ternal questions, to which the opposi-
ton parties in the Reichstag objected.
A reorganization of the cabinet has
been in contemplation for several
weeks, but the stumbling block was
encountered in obtaining a working
arrangement between the Socialists
and the Peoples party. President
Ebert last Friday authorized the
Chancellor to enter into immediate
negotiations with the leaders of the
various parties in the Reicbstag with
the purpose of inaugurating steps for
the early reorganization of the cabinet.
Tba action of the President was in
accordance with DR.. Wirth's desire
TO extend the basis of his coalition
ministry, with view TO increasing
its parliamentary prestige. The au-
yaorizssl6n had been deferred until the
Rsparstioa Commission had concluded
ta lQaigy nto the German situation
IN Berlin 3sst week.
The German note 10 the Reparation
tosHss1on, made pubic here to-day,
eat!sgas that final sterilization of the
asfsscan7 only he possible after the
Hpintlons question has been definite
settled in accordance with Ge@-s
aaay,s capacity TO pay.
Insists on Foreign Aid
Since Germany cannot await such a
final settlement, she proposes pro-
ysslonal one, but, even to achieve this,
foreign assistance must be forthcom-
ing The Reichsbank is declared to be
IN readiness to place 5o0,o00,0o0 gold
marks at the disposal of the govern
ment for the purpose of stabilization.
The project, it is set forth, depends
upon the following conditions:
First-Germany must be freed for
three or four years from all payments
IN cash or in kind under the Treaty of
Versailles. although she will continue
to make deliveries in kind for the dew
nstated areas so far as these do not
entail any increase in her floating
debt
Second Germany considers she
should receive a minimum of 5o0,000,-
{ 600 gold marks from foreign banks.
The foregoing conditions the Reichs-
bank considers necessary prior to Civ
ing the gold from it's reserve. The
money to be advanced by the Reichs-
bank and by the foreign banks will be
administered by an independent board.
When the progress of sterilization is
sufficiently advanced@the German gova
ernment will issue an internal gold
loan.
Would Divide Loans
Half the proceeds of the internal
ioan and the full ,eld from the for
eign loans will be utiliged to cover the
gssHents in cash and in kind due un-
der the Versailles Treaty, and the
otaef half of the proceeds of the in
Wrnal loan will be applied to the re-
se,,ements of Germany's own budget.
iacse measures, it is declared, will
easoie Germany to balance her budget,
check the increase in her floating debt
snS snd discontinue discounting treasury
nlils with the Reiehsbank.
1ermany, moreover, states that she
