Collapse of Wirth Govern

Crisis for Berlin
Government
SOCIALISTS DESERT
REPUBLIC'S PREMIER
BERLIN. Nov. 16—(United Preee)
—Germany's reparation* offer* are
nullified by the fall of the cabinet,
In (he opinion of political observers.
Chancellor Wirth Is finished polit
ically. K Is believed. The country Is
•»eking more active management.
Ministers are holding their poets
until a new cabinet I* formed.
Th erepa râlions rscsntiy reached
by Wirth in discussions with Allied
envoys will not be carried out, per
se, by the new government If the
present split in political hanks la not
mended.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 16 (United
Press).—Germany, as the result of
ths downfall of the Wirth govern
ment is now tempted by a choice of
one or of rwo course» for the future
—Bolshevism or a return to mon
archist form of government.
This is the belief of diplomatic
and official circles here which have
been keeping a oiose watch on the
German situation.
The German crisis greatly In
creases the fears of atatesmen re
garding the general European situ
ation, row believed by some to be
nearing the ''(Inal crash."
The American government. It can
1 he stated. 1« following most closely
(the events In Europs and especially
(In Germany, What, If anything can
he done hy the United States to save
"te situation abroad Is now one of
(h* bigg^nt queutions befor« this
government.
Evidence* were apparently in
creasing that tha European question
in some form or another will soon
h# pu t up to the United States for
aid.
Whether suoh a mov» would be an
appeal to this country from Ger
many in the reparations situation I"
not yet apparent, eithough there ar"
indications that this has been con
sldered. •
German leaders however, are un
derstood to have been loath to make
a formal and definite appeal to the
United States, believing this step
would bring Ilttis benefit because of
the antagonism tt would develop In
the Allied countries. Also it might
put the American Government In an
embarasalng position with the Al
lied powers.
The United Stales Government It
Is known, hold» Ihe view that the
German repanrtions question 1» the
root of the plight of Europe today
and that France holds the key to
that situation.
One difficulty in the way of the
United States trying fo do anj-thlng
to save the situation I» the queer
tlon of the Allied war debts to this
country
For Instance. In connection with

pointed out that the American
