INCREASE OF UNEMPLOYED PREVAILING DISTRESS CAUSES BITTERNESS OVER ROYAL CLAIMS. London, Dec. 21. The “Morning Post's” Berlin correspondent says that unemployed are increasing by tens of thousands weekly. Dismissals affected every branch of industry, and 20,000 people wore rendered idle in Berlin alone last week. ’ The prevailing distress is being used by Republicans and Socialists as propaganda against the claims of the Kaiser and other Royalties for compensation, in connection with which there is much embitterment. .A resolution adopted by the Ruhr district section of the Centre Party demands that the claims shall not. be met, especially those of former rulers, who am more or less responsible for the tragic fate of the nation, and who are already living in luxury. There is tho strongest indignation at the latest claim of the 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 am practically worthless. The Duka will receive extensive estates, country seats and an annual pension of 11,000 marks.
