TD FORM A
NEW MINISTRY LATE
T
Premier Poincare Blamed
By Germany For Col
lapse of Stresemann’s
Coalition Government.
»1
(By Associated Preaa.)
BERLIN. — The crash
in the government, which
has been impending for
several days, came late
Wednesday night, when
Dr. Gustav Stresemann
and the members of his
ministry turned in their
resignations. President
Ebert immediately called
upon the retiring chancel
lor to form a new cabi
net.
The Stresemann government re
tired front office with the relin
quishment of ' passive resistance
in the Ituhr and the Rhineland as
the only active accomplishment to
its credit. While criticism of ita
usefulness on this score would
seem to be not entirely fair, in
view of the hopelessly tangled
legacy assumed by it as the suc
cessor of the Cuno ministry, tho
Stresemann coalition in its politi-
composition was such as to
lude in the long run any hope
of productiveness in the nature of
financial and economic reforms, •
) account of the conflicting cur*
nt* which hampered its delibera
tions.
r.i. i'oiiicari, -a , t
ier, is blamed by the German
government and the reichstag for
the collapse of Chancellor LHrese-
niann’s coalition government. If
Poincare had given the slightest
indication of a reciprocal attitudd. I
in response t«f Germany’s aban
donment of passive resistance of-,
fieial and political quarters believe '
that Dr. Stresemann’s position
ould have been immeasurably,
strengthened, inasmuch as it would
have been spared the nationalist,
onslaught, which not only gained
momcr.tum through the uncondi
tional Ruhr surrender, but also
from the swiftly collapsing inter
nal situation.
