BERLIN, June 1S.-On Sunday
the German people not only will
cast their ballots at the national
referendum regarding the property
of the royal houses, but they will
also demonstrate to what extent the
revolution Of 1918 and it's falsehoods
haves been surmounted and van
quished
The proposed confiscation of the
princes property-an idea emanat-
ing from foreigners for the prepare
ton of Bolshevism-would destroy
the system of private property. We
are fighting the appropriation of the
royal houses for the sake of private
property and as honest adherents of
the monarchy. Our struggle against
the confiscation of this royal prop
erty is also a testimonial of the
gratitude and fidelity which links US
inseparably with our princes.
Royalty Suffered
The royal families which ruled in
Germany until 1918, Of whom thir-
teen members died for the Father
land, assumed a larger share Of the
misery Of the people than most 9th
er Germans. The royal house Of
Hohenzollern lost all but liz per
cent of it's household treasure as
well as 4S,OOO,OOO marks ($11 ,00O,0O0)
worth of war. loan bonds.
OF the other reigning houses, that
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-06-18

of Saxony-W einnar and that of Wal
deck lost approximately 80 per cent,
that OF Mecklenburg, 96-99 per
cent; that Of Schwartzburg, 100 per
cent, and those of Saxony- Meiningen
and of Hessen also 100 per cent--all
these losses having been incurred
during the controversies after the
revolution.
Not a single onesof the royal fam
lilies was able to retain more than
one-fifth OF it's property. The prop
erty now in their possession and
which the radicals, wish to confiscate
represents only a fraction of the
3,000,000,000 marks (S715,000, 000) to
which the agitators refer-although
their reference is unsubstantiated by
documentary evidence. According
to compromise of October 1925, the
revenue of 10000 marks about
of the Prussian royal family annu-
ally. The pension Of many a post
revolutionary cabinet minister eX-
ceeds this sum.
The distribution of the proposed
sums among the Prussian royal fam
lily would mean that each inhabi-
tant of Prussia would pay five
pfennigs Zone cent? year.
Bill Superfuous
The dispute about this issue had
already been settled almost every
where. The bill, introduced by the
socialists, was superfluous. The con-
fiscation proposed by the radicals, is
simply an instrument of propaganda
In the ultimate analysis, this pro-
posal merely reveals the fear of the
monarchist idea (often misunder-
stood abroad and yet frequently ad
mire6, upon which Germany's great
ness was founded.
Long after the world forgets to-
morrow's referendum, which I be-
lieve will fail to produce the neces-
,sary 20,00O,00O votes. the castles will
continue to tower above their sur
roundings as monuments to royal
civilization. And, the foreign visitor
will continue to visit Potsdam and
the Sans-Souci palace as tribute
to the illustrious Frederick the
Great.
