GERMAN POLITICS.
(I’er Press Association —Copyright.; BERLIN, December 17 The Reichstag passed a vote of no confidence in the Government, which has resigned. A motion was passed by 249 votes to 171. The Government’s defeat was due to tlie Nationalists, despite President Hindenburg’s request to Count Westarp, the Nationalist leader to refrain from voting, because a stable Government was essential in view of the negotiations with Britain and France. Count Westarp, speaking in the course of the debate on the motion, expressed the opinion that -it was time a Government was in power in possession of a majority in the Reichstag. Negotiations for a new Government will begin on January 6. (The Cabinet is carrying on in the meantime. The Nationalists are anxious to participate in the Government, but it is believed that whatever Cabinet is in power Dr. Stresemann will remain Foreign Secretary, with an unchanged foreign policy.
