Distress in Germany
Army of Unemployed ROYAL EXILES' CLAIMS. PEOPLE DEEPLY EMBITTERED. [By Cable— Pres* Association—Copyright.< (Received 22. 9.10 a.m.) London, Dec. 21. The “Morning Post’s” Berlin correspondent says that the unemployed are increasing by tens of thousands weekly. Dismissals have affected every branch of industry. Twenty thousand were rendered idle in Beilin alone last week. Tiie prevailing distress is being used by the Republicans and Socialists as propaganda against the claims of the ex-Kaiser and other royalist exiles for compensation, in connection with which there is much embitterment. A resolution adopted by the Ruhr district section of the Centre party mands that the claims shall not be met, especially those of former rulers who were more or less responsible foi the tragic fate of the nation and are already living in luxury. There is the strongest indignation at the latest claim of the eX-Grand Duke of Mecklenburg that the paper mark compensation accorded him should be met to the extent of 65 per cent., whereas the paper claims of the public are practically worthless. The Grand Duke will receive extensive estates, country seats, and an annual pension of £14,000. —(A. and N.Z.)
