sion would find German mony I'm for
eign banks, but not enough, in ad-
dition to credit balances, to keep Ger

The German people" declared Frau
Schreiber are caught between French
and German Junkerfsrr. She deplored
that some Germans were bootleg
ging In money by taking it out of
the country and said the amount
tify the fuss made about it," you
may as we'll talk of paying Off your
national debt with the profits of boot
ieggers as to think that the sums
taken out by these men would make
a dent in the reparations demanded
by Poincare." she declared.
Only One Financial Source.
The only source from which we can
obtain money to pay reparations with
is from profits on our exports. Hence.
our credit and currency must be re-
stored. = our Industries given fair
chance to sell our products in the
market OF the world. The only way
we can gain a surplus that Will per-
init US to live and resume payments
in the future" she declared.

some OF the German bankers specu-
lated and made money out OF the
mark depreciation, but did not think
that they deliberately brought about
the depreciation.

You are not told. perhaps, that our
trade unions are willing to make ad-
justmen work overtime and give
extra pay to aid relief work to the
100000 unemployed in Germany
said Frau Schreder.
Schneider said: 1T is not SHINES.
Thyssen. and men Of their kind who
| threaten the republic. 1t is men of
| the type OF Ludendorf and the old
prussian fIss n mtlitarists s that we have TO
lists, with their former dreams OF
world empire and conquest They
do not expect to put the former kai-
ser or crown prince back on the
tAOhO, o1l thcg dHt n y.
They hate progressives of every type,
they hate the Jews and would estab-
lish pogoms. They conspired for the
| assassination of Chancellor Rattle
nau; they plot In secret, establish
secreta societies and with their false
words. they inspire young men to
murder.
Hope to Arouse People.
"They hope that the oppression from
foreign source will rouse the people
!! to such an intense degree OF hope
lessness, hatred and revenge that
they will turn to them for relief and
by a military coup they may be-
come masters of Germany once more.
This is the real danger now. for so
per cent Of the German people, in
cluding the middle classes, are
against these junkers and the will
! never succeed in their reactionary
policy IL the nations of the world
will but give the German people a
chance to keep their republic and
maintain a democratic constitutional
government.
Our people are glad to be rid OF
kaiserism and they will gladly join
the progressive people of the world
in maintaining peace and good will
against the machinations of the
junkers and militarists of all ma
tons"
