_— t A MINISTERIAL DEFENCE, RESPONSIBLE TO NO ONE. I)y Tolceraph-Prcss Association-Copyricht. Berlin, November:27. Socialist members in tho Reichstag interpellated the Government on the Kaiser's Konisbcrg speech. Tho Imperial Chancellor, Hew ron Bethmann-Holhveg, in a vigorous, reply, said the speech did not place tho Kaiser in contradiction with Princo von Billow's statement in 1908. Tho speech was delivered in a Prussian provincial town, and did not mean the proclamation of absolutism, but emphasised the fundamental principle of monarchy in Prussia, where the constitution was urfacquainted with tho idea of tho people's sovereignty. The Chancellor added: "The King's personal independence, and primordial, natural, or monarchical right, aro fundamental ideas of our political life, which remain alive oven in a period of constitutional development."
