The ministerial designations, filed
last night were precipitated by the de.
cision of the United Socialists not to
participate in a coalition ministry
which included members of the Ger.
man peoples party. But the friends Of
Chancellor Wirth We're not oblivious OF
the teellng that he had outlived his use,
lulhess and now has become a term of
policy of indecision and inactivity
which found its elimination in The
governments failure to make a practi.
cal arrangement with the allied repa.
rations commission during the course OF
its recent visit to Berlin
Ever since the assassination of For.
elSn Minister Rathenau, the chancellor
mas been described as a man who ap.
parently possessed no inspiration. no
initiative. This attitude gave added
weight to the asser lion that the late
foreign minister was Wirths inspira-
ton, and the force which urged him
on.
Lost Influence
With the passing OF DR.. Rathenau,
the chancellor visibly lost Influence
with his cabinet colleagues. As a result
the support given his policy OF ful.
fillment" diminished day by day. He
admitted the collapse of this policy last
summer when he announced that the
governments slogan had become bread
first, then reparations.
Foreign criticism Of the alleged weak,
ness or the cabinet. emanating from
London As we'll as Berlin during the last
rev days, cintributed to undermining
the chancellor's position, even in the
ranks Of the coalition party. His be.
lated espousal OF the peoples party as
necessary adjunct TO the government
| definitely alienated the support lie had
been receiving from the socialists.

The vote was finally preclpitated, the
