GERMAN CHIEFS MEET.
Rulers Agree That Passive Resistance
Must Be stopped.

Berlin. Sept. 25.-It was officially
stated this afternoon that the premiers
of the German Federated States at
their conference with Chancellor
Stresemann today unanimously agreed
TO the abandonment of the passive
resistance program, but at the same
time expressed their determination
firmly TO safeguard the unity of the
country.
An official communiQue issued after
the meeting said:
The prime ministers of the states
Of the German Reich deliberated this
morning with the cabinet of the
Reich upon the QUESTION of ending
passive resistance. The representa-
tives of the state, after an expose
by the chancellor, made known their
opinions.
There was complete unanimity
upon the decision that passive resist
ance must cease for reasons of in
terror politics, and especially the
country's finances. The opinion was
also unanimous that il was the in
tention as well as the duty of the
central government to end the passive
resistance in a manner conformable
with the dignity and honor Of the
German people.
"All those entrusted with power in
the German states have declared that,
if an attempt were made TO impair
the unity Of the Reich, they are
firmly resolved TO safeguard and de-
fend this unity as the unimpeachable
right of the nation"

thing that these two dictatorship par
ties are, in some degree, allies. One
reason they demanded the conrlnu-
ance of passive resistance, perhaps, is
that they know continuance would
speedily bring bankruptcy and collapse
of the Stresemann government. They
recently have been exchanging COM
pliments in their press and some Of
their leaders are known 10 have been
in actual conference. 1t is believed
by some well-informed persons that
they have already struck bargain
dividing Germany into two Dictator
ships-South Germany including Ba-
varia. Baden and Wuertemberg for
the Nationalist, and the remainder of
the Communists. According 10 this
story, they promised they would not
attempt 10 prevent each others sue
cess in their respective territories ana
would settle their accounts later.
Whatever truth there is in the ru-
mors and apprehensions, the state of
public nerves justified Stresemann in
taking the utmost precautions.
