SOCIALIST IN POWER.
Hilferding Long Known as Author
ity on Finance.

BY Cable 10 The Star and the Chicago
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1923.
BERLIN. August 15.-The signifi-
cant feature of the present cabinet
change in Germany is not the shift
ing of the chancellorship from DR.
Cuno to Herr Stresmann. but is the
transfer of the all-important ministry
of finance to the socialists.
This should imply that the new
government has accepted the fiscal
policy which the socialists have been
urging for two years-the heaviest

capacity. The question remains

the socialists a window dressing.
Held A. Authority.
Rudolph Hilferding. who assumes
the ministry of finance, unquestion-
ably. is the leading financial authority

fore the war, was regarded by the
socialists as the economic treatise OF

SHINES tricks. He was educated as
a physician. He served through the
war in the medical department and
helped form the independent socialist
party, which through the war vigor-
ously but unsuccesSfully demanded
that the German government publicly
and unequivocally accept the offer of
peace without annexation made by
President Wilson. After the war he
was one of the first to advocate that
Germany sign the Versailles treaty
and pay the fullest possible repara-
tionS.
Policy of Taxation.
Like all other Germans. he believed
the financial terms of the treaty to be
impossible of fulfillment, but he in
sisted that Germany must show the
will to pay and then let the facts
speak for themselves, whereupon the
world would see the absurdity of the
Preparations figure and revise it down.

sabotage of the tax payments by the
industrialistS. He helped to formu-
late the policy of tax payments on a
gold basis, the seizure of real values
for taxes. the gold loan-all of which
now is finally accepted by the new
government.
Hilferding fought stubbornly for
all these policies when they were un-
popular. Now nearly every one agrees
with him. His record should give the
iGermany's willingness to put her own
house in order and do everything pos
sible to solve the reparations prob

That we extend to Mrs. Harding

an honorable man, we are consoled

That while we sympathiZe with

The covering note explained that
the British government shrank from
submitting more definite proposals
than those outlined because expert

schemes are apt to impede rather
than promote a general agreement"
The note also emphasized that the
British government attached the

yinced that only by such unity will
an early solution of the problem be

Declaring that the British govern
ment cannot subscribe to the thesis
that passive resistance must cease un-
conditionally because it is contrary
to the treaty of Versailles, Lord Cur
zon declares the highest legal au-
thorities in Great Britain have ad-
vised the government that the Ger
man contention is well founded; that
the Franco-Belgian occupation of the
Ruhr is not sanction, authorized by
the treaty itself. But the British
government is quite willing that this
or any other difference respecting the

Call Invasion Illegal.

Lengthily arguing the illegality of
the occupation of the Ruhr, the note
says:
IF his majesty's government hither-
to have abstained formally from con-
testing the legality of the Franco
Belgian occupation, they have done so
solely in conformity with the spirit of
Mr.. Bonar Laws declaration at the
Paris conference in January that his
maJesty's government desired to avoid
causing any needless embarra ssment
to their allies.
This should not be made re-
proach to them. His majesty's gov
ernment would not even now have
taken up this question of legality had
they not been challenged to do So"
The note contends that the treaty
only. authorizes occupation of the
left bank of the Rhine and the
bride eheads. and declares that the
parallel France seeks to draw with
Germany's action in 1871 can hardly
be sustained, because the latter ac-
tion was expressly provided for by
the preliminaries to the peace of 1871
and no similar analogy can be cited

Furthermore, the note states, the re-
covery of a comparatively small in

A CMApLAlN,S PRAYER

in adopting resolution cen
surfing a prayer by its chaplain il
is to be hoped that the Colorado
House OF Representatives has not
established a precedent that will
be generally followed If leg
islative body may find fault with
a prayer through formal action.
then it also may pass resolutions
praising such petitions. Either
formal endorsement or adverse
criticism of what should be a
purely religious expression seems
decidedly out of place. The
question might easily become one
for debate and division alons
political lines.
TO be sure, legislative chap
lains are not always discreet.
Even Congress has had its trou-
bles i'll the past. Shortly before

referred TO it the next day in
scathlng terms in his opening
prayer, remarking that the place
of eternal torment was also of
divine institution. An attempt OF
southern members to deprive him
OF his position was narrowly de
feated.
The Colorado chaplain seems
to have had small sense OF the
proprieties of his office. when he
asserted that Our courts are
corruptS God has been expelled
from our churches; our pulpits
are filled with essayiSts: our bows
and girls are going to the dogs"
This prayer plainly was a rhetor-
lcal effort, a vehicle for the pes

sweeping concentrations deserve
rebuke, but there are objections.

lators do pay attention to what
their chaplain says in his prayers.
