says, will serve two purposes. 1t Will

as home makers. This classification
will be entered in the family relation

GERMAN GOVERNMENT
VICTORY is EXPECTED
Observers Believe Embarrassing
Crisis on Financial Program
Will Be Averted.
BY the Associated Press.

6y LnS ASSOCIATED FFeSS.
BERLIN, December 12.-On the eve
Of the presentation of the govern
n1ents financial reform program to the
ReichStag as a question of confidence
observers last night were of the opinion
that the government would escape
crisis such as has embarrassed it at
several Christmas seasons.
The consensus was that the recent
memorandum of DR.. Hjalmar SchachC
criticiZing the government and de-
nanding full support for the Young
plan for reparations at home ana
abroad, would not only prove influ-
ential in speeding financial reform, but
in establishing once and for all the
independence of the government from
the party interests of the various fac
tons in the Reichstag.
Financial Minister Hilferding has
made IA points of financial reform,
chief among which is a proposed in
crease in tax on beer and tobacco to
balance a corresponding reduction in
income tax.
