* In Germany the Centrum Party in the Cabinet and

in the Reichstag has not given way in its determined support of denominational schools, which were the- bone of con- tention in the Education Bill. But the Germans are business-like and the Government will not resign and elections will not be held until some kind of Budget is passed. This will probably be when the Reichstag reassembles next week. In March the dissolution will probably take place. The Nationalists have not helped to smooth things by abating any of their demands for agrarian relief. President Hindenburg seems to have . exerted a moderating influence throughout and there is little doubt that the Government accept his help and realize gratefully the strength that he wields.
