Berlin *'Reds'9 Threaten
Reprisals by Russia
If Radelc ?s Executed
BERLIN, Feb. 14 (By The Associated
Press). Seigfried Weinberg, attorney
for Karl Radek, the Bolshevik propa?
gandist who was arrested several days
ago, has been denied admission to the
cell occupied by his client. Weinberg,
who has been prominently identified
with the Spartacan movement in Ber?
lin, obtained permission of the courts
to communicate with Radek, but an
interview was denied at the last mo?
ment by a lieutenant of the Reinhard
regiment which arrested Radek.
Radek, according to a statement !
made by Weinberg, ?s in the Moabit j
jail, and also is heavily handcuffed. !
The "Red Star," the Spartacan organ, i
in discussing the arrest of Radek, says:
"We make no secret of our regrets
that one of the best: of our interna?
tional comrades and n leader m the j
Russian revolution, who has set him-|
self an enduring monument in Russian j
history, has fallen a victim to the spies j
of the 'socialistic' German govern- !
ment."
The. Spartacan organ says that two
systems of justice prevail in Germany,
and adds:
"The first was applied in the instance
of Liebknecht and Luxemburg. It was
assassination. The second is military,
and evidence ?s accumulating in the
present case that the military authori?
ties are nol relinquishing their pre?
rogatives.
"II may be said, however, that if
Radi k is to become a similar sort of
\ictim the Russian goverment would
not satisfy itself with mere moral pro?
tests, just as the moral protest of the.
German proletariat against the murder
of Liebknecht and Luxemburg is not.
the final word that the proletariat-will
have to say in this matter."
Junker Plan Seen
To Recast Germany's
Army in Old Mould
New York Tribune
Foreign Press Hurcaii
A concealed attempt to reestablish
the old German army, despite the in
i tonco of the new German statesmen
: that the junker spirit has passed for
| ever from Germany, is seen in many
reports and articles appearing in the
? German press.
The reports and articles deal with
! the organization of "the now German
people's army," but behind this demo?
cratic title may be detected an effort
to recreate the old Teuton military
machine. Issues of the Gorman papers
; for the week of January 15, just re?
ceived hero, contain appeals to the
: "workers, soldiers, citizens and stu
' dents" to join various alleged defence
organizations, such as the "Volunteer
Regiment" of Colonel Reinhard in
Berlin.
The purposes of these organizations,
, as given in the German press, are the
suppression of the Spartaeides and the
protection of the government and

Weimar Assembly. In addition, there |
is a recruiting campaign under way j
for the formation of a "Frontier Guard
of the East" to repel? the Poles and
Bolsheviki.
Insists on Defence Army
A writer in the "Vossische Zeitung"
says:
"So long as wo are unable to reshape j
the surface of the earth, so long will ?
Prussia, and with her Germany, remain ?
a Continental state surrounded by j
countries more or less hostile, with her
door to the ocean controlled by Eng- '
land. This geographical fact will com- |
pel us, our inclination for friendly in- I
tercourse with all the nations of the \
earth notwithstanding, to maintain an
armed power.
"What we need is a factor removed
from the turmoil of party politics on
which the government may rely abso?
lutely in any emergency whatever. A ?
gendarmerie or constabulary does not !
satisfy the demand on aercount of its j
necessarily limited numerical strength. |
A militia or citizen's guard, however i
excellent its spirit, never would be able |
to hold aloof from partisan excitement j
in case of internal troubles."
In another issue of the paper a |
speech of its chief political writer, the
well known George Bernhard, is re?
ported at length. In an address on
January 16 before an audience of 10,000
this leader of pan-German thought
said:
"Our government cherished the ideal?
istic belief that it could exercise power
through sheer persuasion. The events
in the interior and on the Eastern
frontier, however, have taught us that
we cannot continue without the recon?
struction of military power.
"W?r> went to war as a rich people;
to-day we stand as a people of beggars.
If the coal mines on the left bank of
the Rhine and upper Silesia and the
grain and potato fialds of Posen are
taken away from us that will mean
thnt not only the eGrman Empire, but
also the German people, has ceased to
exist. ... If armed power has ever
protected the peace it had to do it
now."
The "Berliner Neueste Nachrichten."
an avowedly junker and monarchist
newspaper, reports on January 17 that
the organization of a volunteer army
to defend the Eastern frontier has
been decided upon.

German Socialists
Would Seize Wealth
i
To Meet State Debt]
WEIMAR. Feb. 14 (By The Associ- j
ated Pressl. -There will be a sharp :
seizure of the fortunes of the wealthy, ?
according to a prediction made before :
the German National Assembly to-day
by Dr. Heim, a Socialist, in discussing '
the Socialists' programme, especially
concerning taxation. He did not be- j
lieve, however, that the government
would be able to get the great sums !
needed by seizing fortunes, and he
thought that the balance necessary
must be taken from the war prolits.
The wealthy, Dr.. Heim added, will
be hit "at their most sensitive point
' the pockctbook." Luxuries will not be
; permitted and inheritances will be
; taxed so that all over a certain moder?
ate sum will be taken by the govern
i ment. Dr. Heim said he feared that
I hundreds of millions of marks already
; had been squandered by the finance
ministers of Saxony and Bavaria.
Count von Posadowsky-Wehner, for
I mer Vice-Chancellor and a Conserva
tive, devoted himself to praise of Ger- !
man qualities, except Germany's for?
eign policy, which he called tactless
and mistaken. Shouts of disapproval
?greeted him when he said:
Policy Toward ?. S.
"It is a question whether it was wise
to draw America into the war by un?
restricted submarine warfare."
"It is a deliberate lie to say that.
Germany wanted war," he added.
"Neither the German government nor
th>? German people wanted it."
Philipp Scheidemann, Chancellor in
the new German government, yester?
day showed himself able to handle con?
flicting demonstrations with no sign of
being intimidated by the wildest op?
position or moved by the most severe
heckling. Xo speaker since the meet?
ing of the National Assembly was
opened has been so outspoken toward
his opponents.
One of the incidents of his speech
was his reference to Austria's desire
to join Germany. He said: "We de
| sire no reluctant adherents, and by tin
same token, nobody wishing to join us
1 should be prevented." There was al?
most a threat in his warning: "The
Entente is able to force any kind of
; peace on Germany, but if it is an un
just peace 70.000,000 peoDir^tV-T^
hearts will never forgive ?r forget* '
