"Speefllli ' Than the Reichstag
( Correspouwuce of Associated Press.)
Weimar, March 3. The German
National Assembly has Itoen at work
some weeks now, ami has demonstrat
ed, among others, two things clearly.
It ls-uuahle to do business much more
speedily than tbe old lteichstag, chief
ly because there is little unity aim
ninch dissension lietween the parties,
and the oh order of things has chang
ed very little1 despite the myriad of
new faces.
The latter is perhaps the most im
portant point, liccause the Assembly
was hulled by countless (Jermau pu
llers and particularly by the agencies
that supply the outside world with
news as the birth of the new repub
lic, the liegluuhig of a new regime, the
living emblem of the passing of the
old.
It is new in a sense, and the old
regime has passed perhaps, but then
jire enough of the dd people left, and
so many of the new people are differ
ent from the lteichstag. One bears
precisely the same arguments from the
floor, watches precious time fly by over
the same or similar arguments as used
to make one despair of constructive
legislation.
Perhaps the most striking thing is
the tone of the great majority of the
party speeches. Just one delegate has
had the courage to attack the Con
servatives and the moral strength to
go ou record ns admitting that tier
many hud something to do with start
ing the war.
Man after man. regardless of party..
has, in speeches, proved to his own and
the house's satisfaction that Russia,
France or Kngland, not (iermiiny. start
ed the war.
Several have declared that neither
the (lermiiu government, nor the (ier
man iicnplc wanfed w. v. or knew ev
en that it was coming. let alone be
ginning it or having the remotest to
do with starting it.
due lone man has had the courage
to tell the house that the German
treatment of Belgium forever forbids
German complaint from being effect
ive. Tile great bulk of the delegate,
as the great bulk at least of northern
Germany, secuis to have adopted the
attitude :
"Well, its all over now. We, the
people, didn't start the thing at any
rate, so let's start out even and square,
with no hard feelings on any side."
And singular as it may seem, there
doesn't seem to be a person hardly
who can get the viewpoint of any for
eigner, even that of the now popular
American.
The Assembly is the principal outlet
for every known kind of propaganda,
indulged in nearly as vehemently and
excitedly by the Social Democrats as
by the Conservatives.
First there is the Alsace-Lorraine
question. It comes up throe, four, a
dozen limes a session. and always
liaises the same enthusiasm. Kverv
old and shop-worn argument is trotted
out and cheered. It has never oc
curreil to the Germans that on the
other side of the fence there are fair
ly g I arguments to stipiiort France
retention of these provinces.
The junction with Austria provokes
an almost equal enthusiasm, and it
would almost seem as if half the
speakers biscrt it in their speeches for
that purpose alone. A countryman
from farthest Kast Prussia can be sure
of a "bravo" if In- mentions the breth
ren iu Austria yearning to Ist-onio the
tail end of tho German kite.
The Schleswig-llolsteiii question has
come to the front lately and Germany
is tilled with propaganda to show that
Schlcswig should anil must remain
German.
No speech is complete without lit

The failure qf the German to
change materially Is in no way better
to he observed than iu his attitude to
tho question of - the conduct of ' the
war. It is only jrarely that a criticism
qf it is heard in thesjiouae. and the
general feeling seems to be that, if
anything was wrong with it, that is all
In the past ana should be forgotten
or overlooked by Germany s enemies.
The prisoner of war question is as
puzzling to tne student of German psy
chology just now as anything else.
Virtually every speaker, touches- upon
the prisoner question liefore he leares
the tribune. Tell a Grnmu, first, that
the armistice mad no provision for the
return or German prisoners, ami. sec
ondly, that while Germany daily begs
for food, she attempts at the same time
to saddle herself with R00.000 mouths
to feed, a nil It has no effect on him
It cannot lie sheer pity for the wel
fare of the prisoners, because plenty
of Germans know only too well how
slim the food is.
The Assembly has bad Its All of
speech-making that consists chiefly of
party programs that everyone knows,
or more frequently in attacks often.
IKM-sonal, that show how bad the
feeling Is beneath the surface. Now it
proposes to do some real work in com
mittee. The press may not attend but
gets what the committees care to give
nut, unless some member tells tales
out of school, v
Listening to delegates to the Assem
bly, and tnlkine to Germans outside
of it, the correspondent linds that tile
old German viewpoint he learned to
know so well during the war until the
breach with America, is stll abroad In
the hind, though in les truculent form.
The German thinks differently from
any other human being in the' world,
and therefore does not imdersUud why
he now shoftld suffer, why everything
cannot be id a cede on a basis of status
quo ante, why anyone should, hold
against him a conduct of the war with
which he clams lie had nothing to do.
He complains bitterly that some of
the troops of the armies of occupation
force the Germans to hare their heads
when an officer passes, or walk in the
street. If the anAwors nre made that
the Germans did just that in ltelglnm
and northern France, he replies that
one Indignity does not warrant anoth
er ami overlooks the part that hu
man nature plays in the way of re
prisal. It crops out every day mid generally
several times a day iu the Assembly
aim loans nearly every "enemy corre
spomlon! to the conviction that the
"new" German is not at all unlike the
old one. only grown a bit more hum
ble when that is useful but typically
