QUESTION OF CONFISCATION. Berlin, June 10. in the Reichstag, in submitting the Compromise Bill on the question of property of former rulers, the Chancellor, Dr Marx, declared that the demand for confiscation without compensation of royal propenies, was against the principles of legal state and against the Constitution, which conferred on all citizens equal rights. The Chancellor added that if the plebiscite resulted in a negative the Government would do its utmost to reach a settlement in the spirit of the Compromise Bill and would not hesitate to take the consequences if it was impossible for the Reichstag to reach an agreement. The Centre Deputy, on behalf of the Government parties, approved of the Bill. A Socialist, Mueller, attacked Hindenburg regarding his recent letter opposing expropriation without compensation, saying—- “ Hindenburg has been guilty of unconstitutional partisanship.”—Reuter. BILL REFERRED TO JUDICIAL COMMITTEE. (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Berlin, June 10. Dr Marx did not admit that Hindenburg had violated his constitutional position, but this attitude is not shared by all the Government parties, including the Centrists, of which Dr Marx is chairman. The Compromise Bill was finally referred to the Judicial Committee.—Reuter.
