Con6scation Bill Gets
Popular Approval
Especial to The Daily Worker,

BERLIN, March 15.-Over 1000, 900
Germans have signed the demand for
the appropriation of the property for
merly owned by the various princes.
This is 100000 more than the num-
Der actually required and indicates
the popular support given this meas
ure.
According to German law the reichs-
tag must now vote upon the expro-
priation bill. If it is disapproved it
will go to a referendum of the nation.
2O,O00,OO0 voters have to vote for it
in order that it may become a law.
The Communists are responsible for
the appropriation measure and for the
referendum. Tho the social-democrats
have lined up behind the proposition
it was against the advice of most of
their leaders and only because the
agitation conducted among the rank
and file of that party by the Com
munists compelled them to act or lose
control of their whole organization
The Communists have carried on an
aggressive campaign A grand mass
demonstration here under their aus
pices yesterday attracted thousands.
Nationalists tried to break up the
gathering but the crowd turned on the
lntruders and after a free-for-all fight
n which a number got badly beaten
up the gangsters were driven off.
Police who interfered also got more
than they were looking for with the
result that no further attempts at in
reference were made.
The nationalists and German fas-
cisti have put up a bitter opposition
to the referendum and staged riots
in many localities to intimidate voters
from signing the petitions. The op-
position set up the claim that confisca.
ton of the princes properties would
merely be the forerunner to whole
sale appropriation Of private estates
and concerns all thru the country.
