GERMAN WAR DEBTS
AN EFFECTIVE PROTEST REFERENDUM EXPECTED BERLIN, November 2. In all 4.136,000 voters signed a petition demanding a referendum on the Nationalist leader's bill "against the enslavement of the German people, which seeks to repudiate all post-war treaties and agreements. The figures slightly exceed the necessary 10 per cent. The bill will, therefore, first be submitted to the Reichstag. The Nationalists are jubilant, as few yesterdayexpected the requisite number of signatures. The Reichstag will certainly reject the bill, which will then be submitted to a national referendum, but over 20,000,000 favorable votes are required for ratification, which no one anticipates.
