BERLIN, Dee. 17.--The opposition
parties In the Relchstaa turned out
tho Marx Center Government by an
overwhelming vote Of no confidence.
The attack was led by the socialists,
who for some time had been waiting
for an Issue upon which to base a
vote to turn out the government. The
issue oame on the question Of the mis-
use Of the Reiehswehr by Minister of
Defense GessIer, who was accused of
secretly armIna nationalist units who
wero not officially part Of the army.
The vote of no confidence was car
ried by 249 yeas to III nays.
Tried to Patch.
The socialists announced their in
tention last week of bringing mo-
ton Of no confidence before the Reich
stag, but early this week efforts were
made to patch up their differences
with the government without avail.
The socialists demanded that the
government resign and that there be
a reformatiuis,s% the ministry with a
wider coaiip0n represented. The
cabinet met and considered this de-
mand, but decided to oppose it on
grounds that the foreign policy Of.
Germany needed a continuity which
would be broken by the resignation Of
the government
Peoples Party Leads.
At present it seems likely that DR..
Scholz, of the German peoples party,
may head the next government. Herr
Stresemann is leader of this party
and it is anticipated he may continue
as foreign minister in the next
government
The situation came to a head when
the socialists ocharged that Minister
of War Gessler was not conducting
the army for the good of the repub
lie and was carrying on secret ar
rangements with foreign powers. This
charge brought a tumult in the Reichs-
tag yesterday.
Communists Join.
Today the socialists first brought in
vote of no confidence against DR..
Gessler and then against the Marx
government.
The Reichstag has adjourned until
Jan. 10, and the new cabinet will be
formed in the meantime. President
Tidenburg attempted to intervene in
favor Of the government, but to no
avail. The Communist deputies joined

She called attention to the fact that

CONGESTION TAX"
ON BUSINESS HIT
Traffic Survey by U. S. Cites
Need of Cooperating
With Merchants.

BY the Associated Press.
Greater recognition should be given
to traffic problems from the merchants
viewpoint in any plans for city inn
provement or expansion, the Com
merce Department has concluded,
after a survey Of the traffic conges-
tion question and its relation to retail
business.
The report. made public YESTERDAY.
was based on the answers of more
than 1900 representative merchants
having direct contact with the traffic
problem, most of whom reported that
traffic congestion caused interference
amounting to from | to 20 per cent
with their business.
Merchants Often ignored.
In many instances of city plan
ming" the report declared, "the mer-
chants viewpoint has not been in
Cluded, and there was no realization
of the traffic congestion tax eXacted
from business. Making known the
merchants viewpoint on traffic by co
operation with traffic authorities is
believed to offer retail business its
greatest opportunity to contribute to
the solution of the traffic problem"
The answers developed that estab-
lishment of shops and branches of
Dig stores outside the cOnEeSted cen
terS was continually growing and was
helping to alleviate the situation. the
merchants recognizing the tendency
of shoppers to do their buying away
from the congested districts. These
subcenters in the larger cities have
grown to be complete shopping dis
tricts. differing only in size and num-
her of establishments from those in
the downtown sections.
Offer Garage Space.
The canvass disclosed that many
attempts are being made to solve
the traffic problem by retail mer-
chants, some providing parking space
for their customers on a vacant lot
or in their own garages, while others
run busses to outlying districts to
take shoppers back and forth to the
stores.
