Whether the Palatinate wants to
return also is conjectual. This is
a section of independent think
ing that contribute so many early
immigrants to the United States.
The French will not tolerate
talk of a return to the old status,
however Competent authorities
say this is one of the reasons they
have banned public speeches by
DR. Karl Schumacher. leader of
German socialists, an advocate of
centralistic ideas. The French at
Tubingen now also require spe-
cial, permission for the German
press to make telephone calls
from the area to Munich, with
the result that the flow of news
