?????? ?
Swing to Monarchists Is
Held as Serious Dan
ger Now.
Governmental authorities con
cerned with foreign affairs are
frankly hopeful tfeat German Chan
cellor Wlrth will resume leader
ship of the Teuton government.
Collapse of his goverment caused
no aurprlse; rether it provoked a
sense of regret. For Wlrth has
been regarded hese?and also In
entente lands?aa an honest, able,
four-square chieftain, anxious to
offset what his predeceasors had
caused. namely, continuance of the
world's ausplclon and distrust of
Germany.
Without entering into discussion
of the merits of the Upper SUealan
derision?the basic cause of the
Wlrth cabinet overturn?authori
ties here have frequently Indicated
their feeling that Wlrth appears
to be the sole German leader
capable of maintaining an honest
effort for fulfilment of the condi
tions Imposed on Germany.
Streagtheaed by Allies.
That this effort is cramped by
the Upper Slleslan decision and by
the catastrophal slide of the Ger
man mark is self-evident. Tfiet it
Is pointed out, Wlrth. enjoying
entente and American confidence. Is
In a better position to make the
try for fulfilment?and perhaps for
outside support or concessions?
than any other German statesman
since the war.
American business men shy at
the thought of a Socialistic regime
in Germany. Whether the next
swing will be to the left or to the
right is a question which at this
distance Is not quite clear. But.
some careful observers emphasize
the thought that Germany's danger
now will be perhaps more in a
conservative. Pan-German move
ment than in a fwing toward a
Socialistic regime.
Mosareklsts May Try C*ap.
The Hungarian coup of* Charles,
if successful, would quite conceiv
ably Inspire the brooding, sulking
German monarchists to attempt an
other spring into the saddle. Such
a move would be Immediately
countered by German workers. Just
aa It waa during the Kapp revolu
tion In 1920, according to Informa
tion here. This would mean per
haps bloodshed, and probably fur
ther disturbance for the already
shattered German financial system.
Many Germans, to say nothing of
the outside business world, recent
ly have hoped it would be possible
to include the Deutsche Vollcspartel
?dthe party of "Big Business"?In
the governmental coalition. This
party has been more than anxious
to get aboard, contending its par
ticipation would add a business
like spirit to the regime and awaken
stronger confidence In Germany's
government and German business

But. It is now considered ques

want a hand, for with Silesia par
titioned It will be increasingly
difficult for Germany to meet her
obligations. And. quite apart from
the Silesian matter. Germany cur
rency is slipping and sliding so
badly that a big smash is probably
only around the corner?barring of

Gen. Armando Diaz, leader of the Italian forces at the close
of the world' war, and a great hero in his native land, arrived in
New York a few days ago, where he was given a rousing reception.
Gen. Diaz will be one of the guests of honor at the American
Legion convention, which opens in Kansas City at the end of this
month. Following that he will attend the arms conference in
Washington, where he will serve as military adviser to the Italian
delegation.
here as quite possible that he will
endeavor to "carry on," even though
he faces a herculean task of trying:
to extract taxes from a disappointed
public and of paying creditors on
time. In any event, it may be said
that authorities here feel Germany
can be accorded more confidence and
a better deal if Wirth stays than
if an unknown, untested man is put
in his shoes.
