LESSON TO BELLAMY'S
..', "SODA WATER SESSION" j Australian Press Association— United Scrvic*. BERLIN, 16th December. The Reichstag for tho first time since 1902 assembled for a "soda-water sitting," owing to the President prohibiting alcoholics in the restaurant, in order to avoid too spirited a debate on [ the Parliamentary Budget. The galj leries were packed, night revellers anxious to witness the spectacle of compulsorily teetotal deputies listening to the Finance Minister Hilferding 's demand for an additional £2,500,000 to place the Reich officials on a level with the Prussian. It is predicted that the 1929 Budget will be the most difficult since 1924, entailing new taxes and a curtailment i of expenditure.
