GERMAN ROYALTIES.
THE CLAIMS BILL. CONCESSIONS' TO SOCIALISTS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. BERLIN, June 2G. A fierce fight over the ex-Rulers’ Claims Bill is raging among the judici. al committee preliminary to the presentations of the Bill in the Reichstag. The Government continues its concessions to the Socialists, whose latest amendment stipulates that- the capital sums or income paid) to the ex-rulers shall be employed only to cover personal and private needs or for charitable and cultural purposes, and also that no capital handed over to the exrulers shall be removed from Germany. This the Government accepted, in spite of the indignation of the Nation, alists, who maintain that the purpose of the Socialists is to humiliate the ex-rulers. If the Bill is altered in compliance with the Socialists’ demands they will vote in favour of it, but whether the Nationalists can prevent the necessary two-thirds majority remains to be seen. Cabinet has made it known that the alternative to the acceptance of the Bill will be dissolution.
