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.
