Abstract

The article discusses the social and political situation in Germany. According to the author, while it is true that the German government by resorting to the harshest measures, has won a temporary victory over the insurgents in Berlin, Halle, Liepzig and elsewhere, it has had to compromise by promising the permanent inclusion of workers' and peasants' councils in the new constitutional arrangements. The moral superiority of the Allies is steadily waning and a bitter hatred, particularly against the French, which did not exist there at the time of the surrender, is rising in Germany. The result is there is now talk of revenge which was not heard before. Everything is uncertain in industry and business, because of the delay of peace conditions, and the people are much stirred by the reports from Paris partitioning Germany and demanding immense war indemnities.
