IN GERMANY.
EX-KAISER’S CLAIMS. Per Press Association—Copyright BERLIN, June 26. A fierce fight over the ex-Rulers’ Claims Bill, is raging among the Judicial Committee, preliminary to the presentation of the Bill in the Reichstag. The Government continues to make concessions to the Socialists, whose latest amendment stipulates that capital sums or income paid to ex-rulers shall be employed only to cover personal and private needs, or for charitable or cultural purposes, also that no capital, handed over to ex-rulers, shall be removed from Germany. This amendment the Government accepted, in spite of the indignation of the Nationalists, 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 made it known that the alternative to the acceptance of the Bill, will be a dissolution.
