GERMAN MINISTER RESIGNS
Food Controller Forced Out by Re;chs-
tag Socialists.

Berlin, Nov. 25.-Dr. Herman MueI-
Ter, minister of agriculture and food
controller in the new cabinet of Cham
cellor Cuno, resigned his office today
The resignation came after attacks
made in the ~reichstag upon the min
lister by socialists who accused him of
having actively participated in the
Rhinfland separatist movement in
1919.
Mueller's resignation was forced by
the Socialists even before the reichstag
had a chance to vote upon the chan
cellorts declaration of policy
Socialist leaders in the reichstag
concentrated their attack against
Mueller, asserting that he was active
in behalf of the separation of the
Rhineland from the rest of Germany
1t was this attack which forced the
food minister out of office.
Debate upon the chancellor's dec
laration of policy was expected to con-
clude this evening with a vote of con-
fidence or no confidence
