Peoples Party Leader Agrees
to Form Cabinet
COALITION OF GROUPS
New Chancellor Founder OF Saxon
Industrial union-United
Socialists in
Force.

Berlin. The designations of
Chancellor Wilhelm Cuno and his
entire Cabinet we're accepted Sun
day by President Ebert.
Or. Gustav slresemann, leader Of
the German Peoples party, has been
commissioned by President Ebert to
form a new government.
After accepting the task Herr Strese-
mann had a conference with the repre-
sentatives Of the various parties. The
greatest difficulty seems to be in con.
nection with the Foreign Ministry.
and it is believed possible that he
will take the post himself temporarily.
It is believed in political quarters
that Dr. Rudolph Hilfreding will be
the new Finance Minister and Herr
Sellmann will be named Minister e.
the Interior, while the name Of Herr
Rheinhaben, of the Peoples party, is
mentioned as the new Secretary OF
State to the Imperial Chanceilory
Thus the new Cabinet would be Of
a strictly political character, incIud-
ing representatives OF the United So
clalist, Clerical. Peoples and Demo
cratic parties. The United Socialists
have made It known they expect to
nave four seats in the Ministry.
Just before Chancellor Cuno called
on President Ebert to submit the Cabi.

ers, representing the present coalition
parties and the United Socialists, Wis
tied the President and discussed with
him the prospects of constructing a
government On a four-party coalition
basis.
This indicated that the United So
eialists had arrived at an understand
ing with the bourgeois parties with
respect to their readiness to enter a
Cabinet which would accept as plat

financial measures and other political
and economic demands which the

United Socialists put forward in their
campaign against Herr Cuno.
The four party coalition which here.
after will occupy the Government
bench in the Reichstag will command
a majority which is opposed by only
II Nationalist and rs Communist votes
out Of total of 1863.
DR.. Stresemann was born in 1873.
He is one Of the most fluent speakers
In the Reichstag, and an out-and-out
party man. Nevertheless he is regard
ed as an adept politician.
The new chancellor has been identi-
fed with industrial activities. He Is
the founder of the Saxon Industrial
Union and its leading deputy in the
Reichstag. He is the presiding chair
man Of the German-American Eco
nomic League, which is occupied with
endeavoring to further trade relations

London The British Govern
ment, BY the publication Of the
reply Of Lord Curzon, Secretary
Of Foreign Affairs, to the separate
notes of France and Belgium, in
which her allies rejected the Brit
ish reparation plan, placed on rec.
ord her position with regard to all
the manifold aspects Of the prob

dence with her allies since June
regarding reparations also was
made public.
The Curzon note was handed to the
French and Belgian Ambassadors Sat

Lord Curzon. in his note. sets forth
that the British Government regards
the occupation Of the Ruhr as Illegal
and unauthorized by the Versailles
treaty, thus supporting the German
contention in this respect. At the
same time, however, he offers to sub
init the point to arbitration at The
Hague or by some other body

the utmost courtesy, and saying moth.
.ing definite with regard to any sep
aTate action on the part Of Great
Britain, Lord Curzon emphasizes that
Great Britain cannot agree with the
French policy, which he intimates
plainly seems to point to an Indefinite
occupation OF the Ruhr.
Lord Curzon still leaves ii to the
French Government to suggest the
method Of selecting an international
commission to examine into Germany's
capacity to pay reparations, but he
.nlainiy declares that Great Britain
cannot accept the decision Of the Rep
aration Commission on this matter,
since that commission has become the
mere instrument Of Franco-Belgian
policy

Finally. Lord curzon declares that
the British Government still adheres
TO the plan Of former Premier Bonar
Law, under which Great Britain would
be satisfied to obtain from German
reparations and Allied debts to Great
Britain a sum sufficient to meet Great
Brltain's obligations to the United
