...Germany's last word has by no means yet been spoken. What Chancellor Stresemann says in effective only as long as his government remains in office and at present it hold on the office appears, to say the least, some-what tenuous. The two powerful actions, the Nationalists and the Communists, are agreed on one point--that the present government is not to their taste.
