BERLIN. Aug. I2.-Dr. Gustav
Strcsemann. leader Of the Deutsche
volkesparte, sought today TO form a
coalition government TO replace that
of Chancellor Cuno, which resigned
Sunday.
Stresemann, regarded as mouth.
piece OF the industrialists. will con.
tinue Germany's policy of passive re.
sistance in the Ruhr. II IS understood,
The reasons for Cuno's downfall
were economic and had to do with
the internal situation. Decision of
the socialist party TO vote against
the government on question Of con.
fldence today. forced the resignation.
The new chancellor began the for.
nation of his government amid
scenes OF turmoil and despair thruout
the nation. He faced a task that
might well have daunted the strong.
est leader of a united country. instead
OF people divided by politics, torn
by communist dissensions and suf-
fering from military. economic and
political pressure from without.
Stresemann had the advantage,
however, of an apparently strong
coalition majority in parliament, with
only communists and extreme mon
nrchists for immediate possession.
While the political crisis was on,
Berlin continued an armed camp.
strong detachments of soldiers and
police patrolling the Wilhelmstrasse
and guarding government buildings
to prevent reds from carrying out
their threats OF an attack on the re-
firing chancellor and President Ebert.
Altho the retirement OF Cuno was
expected to bring a lull in disorders,
which swept the nation over the
weekend, resulting in upwards of
80 dead and scores OF wounded. 1t
was not believed either Stresemann
or any other leader would be able
to stave off for long the impending
storm caused by hunger and despair.
