EX-RULER’S PROPERTY.
QUESTION OF INDEMNITY. HEATED GERMAN DEBATE. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYBIGHT. BERLIN, Dec. 2.

Bill advocating the appropriation without compensation of all the property of the ex-ruling princes. They alleged that the ancestors of the ex-rulers had amassed property estimated at two and a half to three milliard marks by robbery and swindling. A Socialist deputy (Herr Scheidemann) declared that 1,000,000 unemployed were starving, yet the nation was expected to pay hundreds of millions to the princes mainly blameworthy for the people’s misery.
