Dr. Wirth, the German Chancellor, after reconstructing his Cabinet last
week, sought the approval of the Reichstag. He obtained it on Wednesday, October 28th, by 230 votes to 132. The Monarchists and the Bolsheviks formed the minprity. The Reichstag declined by a majority of 60 to regard Dr. Wirth's protest against the Upper Silesian settlement as unduly mild. On the following day Germany informed the Allies that she accepted the decision and would nominate a German representa- tive on the Commission which is to supervise the economic development of the industrial area in Upper Sileeia. Dr. Wirth's success in the Reichstag does not, however, imply that the Monarchists have abated their intrigues against the Republic.
