NEW MINISTRY IN
BERLIN FEEBLE
Chancellor Marx Due for
Short Life,
BY CARL D. GROAT,
-nited Press STAFF Correspondent.

BERLIN, Dec. All agree DIR.
Wilhelm Marx, new chancellor Of Ger
many, is due for a short life and GER
tainly not a merry one.
The makeup of the ministry IS con-
sidered feeble from a political and
strategic point of view.
Chancellor Marx planned today to
present his cabinet to the Reichstag
Monday or Tuesday, and if the com
bination survives the initial test Of
parliament's pleasure, it will be due
to indulgence on the part Of the So
cialist group, which wields a con-
siderable balance of power In the
present internal situation.

 Mentioning no names, save trib- ute to "our great, strong and de- termined President Hariing,' MT. Dawes said;
 "The average Amer.can citizen has witnessed the pardoning of men con victed of treason against their gov ernment in time of war, done with the apparent purpose of carrying political favor with the disreputable elements of our population.
 Here in Chicago he has seen a mayor elected upon a Republican ticket announce platform which would do credit to Soviet Russia and seek to force it through a Republi can state convention.
 Tn Congress, he nus witnessed in the last few years more demagoguery n utterance than ever before has characterized it.
 "He has witnessed a newly elected senator rush into the Senate de- bates with radical, inflammatory and untrue statements.
 "He was shocked by the human beasts at Herrin and the lawless acts at Harrison, Ark
 We have been tremendous power wielded by certain labor leaders who understand mob psychology and the influence of radicals who lead masses of people to lawless action"
 Mr. Average Citizen is demand ing new bill of rights, MT Dawes declared, because the power of or ganized minorities has become as dangerous to the liberty of the in 1ividuals as ever was the power of a prince"
 He who reasons that a halt to weakness in law enforcement and demagoguery is now about to be called and that conditions will be- come worse. little understands the American people.
