London, Nov. 22.-In his address
before the Reichstag today Chanccl.
lor Stresemann is quoted by agency
dispatches from Berlin as declaring
that his government would relin
quish office if it were considered
necessary and that he hoped the
Reichstag. would make up it's mint
quickly in order that he might know
whether he should continue.
He declared that Germany's inter
nal position was hopeless and tina,
so far as he could see there wac not
the slightest prospect of cffectinl
improvement.
France had experienced fear o1
serious German development but h.
could assure France that any devel
opment that might occur would b.
due entirely to France herself.
The communist deputies constant
ly interrupted the chancellor.
DR.. Stresemann said that despite
Germany's serious position" effort:
would be made to continue negotia
tions with France because the Ger
man government desired to leave M
stone unturned in its efforts to eff
feet an agreement and improvement
in the situation.
The Reichstag must not be let
away by the idea that concessions t.
France would do much to help Ger
many. The Reich was in too weak ;
condition to force counter conces
sions from France.
Germany will bleed to death ovel
the Rhine and Ruhr if the wount
is kept opened forcibly by France,
he said. "The declaration by Franco
that our help to the hungry Ger
mans in the Ruhr constitutes con
tinuance of passive resistance is un
true; it is shameful. If Germany per
mitted France to take hold not TO
repa rations but for other purposes
Germany would be acknowledg
ing the justice Of the Ruhr occupa
tion. Germany had not one credito
but the whole entente.
1T was not right therefore tina
only one should pocket the money.
As to Germany's internal condition
it could only be improved by intro
ducing longer working days. y.
