CRISIS IN SAXONY

ANGER AT DICTATORSHIP

SOCIALISTS MUCH ANNOYED.

(UNITES PRESS ASSOCIATION,—COPTAUIUT.) (PUBLISHED IS THE TIMES.) (Received Ist November, 11 a.m.) LONDON, 31st October. The Berlin correspondent of "The Times" says that the uncertain foundations of the Stresemann Cabinet are shaking under the pressure of the internal situation in Saxony, and indirectly in Bavaria. The position of the Socialists is becoming most difficult. The handling of the situation in Dresden is not making things easier. It appears that the Socialists were not coii suited regarding the appointment of Dr. Heinze, the Civil Dictator of Saxony, who apparently did not consult HenStresemann before he took action ugainsi the Saxon Premier. The Ministers and Socialists are very angry over what they consider the uneven treatment meted out to Bavaria and Saxony in regard to the forcible dissolution of the Saxon diet by the Reichswehr, headed by bands, the unnecessary provocation, and the prohibition of public meetings, the proclamations of Dr. Heinze, and the attitude of the military dictator, Muller, are bitterly resented. The Socialists point out that their own efforts for a settlement were steadily and deliberately thwarted, and maintain that if they had been let alone they could have brought the trouble in Saxony to a peaceful end.
