TENSION IN BERLIN
FEARS FOR AN INSOLUBLE POLI-
TICAL CRISIS.
LONDON, 6th August.
The Berlin correspondent of the Morning Post states that the coming meeting of the Supreme Council, is awaited with undisguised tension. All shades of the press are'emphasising the recent declaration by Herr Wirth (Chancellor) and Herr Schiffer (Minister of Justice) that if an/ appreciable portion of Upper Silesia is given to Poland an insoluble political-crisis will ensue in Germany, as neither the Cabinet nor the Reichstag will undertake the government of the country. ■ , • An official brochure .has been issued which without heat and without reeriminntion sets out the economic consequences which will.follow Germany's loss of the industrial and mining areas. The Buthor of the brochure concludes by saying : "Germany's exporting power will be so reduced that she will be unable tofeed her population, much less meet the reparation payments."
