NEW CRISIS ON
Peoples Party Neither for Nor
Against Chancellor Wirth-
Confidence Vote Up.

BERI IN. March 30.-The German po-
litical he lion was darkened today by the
clouds Of 4 new crisis. It's origin lies in
the new indemnify demands of the inter
allied reparations commission. The Ma
tionalists in the Reichstag already have
moved a vote of censure against Chancel-
lor Wirth because Of the policy he has
adopted towards the allies indemnity de-
mands.
The German Peoples party, comprising
the big Industrial magnates Of the coun-
try, is "'on the fence" from indications
1t does not wish confidence in Chancellor
Wirth, nor does 1t wish to Join in a vote
of censure
The Independent Socialists, just as they
did last May, probably will turn the bal
.ance. Supporters of the chancellor ex-
pect the Socialists to support him.
Chancellor Wirth is expected to take
the initiative himself in demanding a
vote of confidence from the Reichstag.
The chancellor may head the delegation
to the international economic conference
at Genoa, hut he will not go without a
confidence vote showing he has the sup
port of the whole country behind him.
