BERLIN, March 1S.-The German po-
litical party leaders are beginning or
ganization for the reichstag elections
on May 4. The elections are expected
to bring about marked changes in the
political complexion of Germany's legis-
lative body through an increase of the
communists and the extreme national
lists, or Deutschvolkische party, and a
lesSening in the number of votes con-
trolled by the moderate parties, stand
ing between the extreme nationalists
who are anti-Semitic and pan-German
and the avowed communists.
AT least eleven parties of some i'm
portance will have candidates in the
field. No one party can hope for any
thing like a majority.
Ebert Has Another Year. =
A presidential election is not to be
held until next year. Therefore, Presi-
dent Ebert will not enter the campaign
for members of the reIcnstag. Chan
cellor Marx and Foreign Minister
Stresemann both will be active. They
already are planning a trip to Vienna
this week and are giving other cagrs
of attempts at bettering Germanys s
foreign relations.
There were about 34,000.000 voters
when the elections were held in 1920,
and, roughly, third of this num-
Der Belonged to the two socialist par
ties, namely, the social democrats
and the independent socialists. But
there has been a great disintegration
in the socialist strength, many So
cialists going over to the commu-
nists and many becoming more con-
Servative. The communists had only
fifteen members in the recently dissolved
reichstag out of a total membership
of 459. But the communists are ex-
pected to make gains in the coming
elections.
The socialists had combined
strength of IT'S in the dissolved
reichstag, but recent local elections
have indicated this strength will be
materially decreased.
The center. or Catholic party, had
eixty-eight votes in the late reichSta ag
and probably will not undergo any
great change in the coming elections
AS DR.. Marx is a member of this
party he may retain the chancellor
ship
Extreme nationalists undoubtedly
will secure a great increase in the
new reichstag, because men of the
type of former Field Marshal Luden-
dorh, who avowedly are anti-Semitic
and anti-Catholic, are casting their
lot with this radical group.
: The nationalist party-that is, the
party Of Dr. Karl Helfferich, former
secretary of the treasury, and other
conservative leaders who avoid re-
ligious and racial controversy-un-
doubtedly will lose many votes to
the radical nationalists.
1t probably will be ten days before
the interallied commission announces
whether it will permit general cam
paign activities in the occupied area,
which contains 100000 inhabitants
and at least 100000 voters.
