DR. STRESEMANNl PICKS SIX MEN FOR NEW CABINET
(Continmed From PaEn Onel

him by Paragraph 4S of the consttu- tion. By the terms of that para graph as interpreted by pr. Hugo Preuss, who drafted the constitution, President Ebert-if the chancellor's cabinet represents a minority gov ernment-must dictate such laws and relief measures as are demanded by the economic, financial and social situation.
 A constitutional dictatorship. it is believed, is the sole alternative left to the President and the former chancellor in view of Stresemann's S inability to command a thirds majority support in the Reichstas, which is necessary to legalize his authorization law.
 The parliamentary situation today gave no indication that Dr. Strese- mann would be able to count on a dependable working support, even if he were assured of the votes of the German nationalists. In order to re- lieve him of any apprehension or feel ing for his stewardship to the Reich stag is concerned. it will become nec- essary for President Ebert to decree an extraordinary dictator decree, as provided by Paragraph 4S, which would permanently relieve Dr. proval or permanent hostility of the Reichstag.
 That the chancellor has probably been given tacit promise in this decision is taken for granted, in view of his announcement that he proposed to surround himself with restricted cabinet of men chosen from outside the pale of party politics.
 Looking For shuffIe.
 While he has not yet given the slightest indication of his plans in this direction, the political leaders are looking for general shuffle in a dozen or more ministries, each of which has heretofore been represent ed by an individual member of the cabinet. The ministries of finance, economies, food and labor may be placed under one minister. The min istries of defense and interior are slated for amalgamation, while pure ly technical governmental depart ments, such as posts, telegraphs and railways, will continue under the su- pervision of their technical depart mental heads.
 Deeper interest is being manifested in the identity of the men whom pr. Stresemann proposes to summon as his aides, especially as he has broad ly proclaimed his intention to disre- gard partisan considerations in form ing his cabinet. The casual presence in Berlin of pr. Wiedfelt, the am baSSador to the United States, is stimulating the rumor that he will be one of those selected by the chancel- Tor because of his ability as an eco- homie expert. pr. Wiedfelt gained fame as the man who converted the Krupp arsenal into 8 giant plant de- voted to the production of commodi- ties not related to the arts of war. and among the industrialists he is universally acknowledged as Ger manys most prolific reconstruction authority.
