The assassination of Mutlilns Krzberger 'am Friday has appeared to have et n match to the pilcd-up combustibles, which liaw been smoldering for "orm time. The t'ubinet Is believed to I'md lUelf In a erion predienment. Ono of the features of the Mtuntion which Is troubling the Government Is the attitude of organized labor, sup ported by the Socialist and Communist phrtles, in demanding the definite sup pression of the activities aud machina tions of the Pan-German".

The Gowrntnent must decide in the next few days whether it w ill call the Jteiobstag Into session before Septem ber 27, the date fixed for that body to meet. There Is a disposition on the part of Chancellor Wirth not to take this action, because of his" desire to avoid debate upon the American peace treaty before that pact is ratified by the I'nited State.4 Senate. The Govern ment would bo unable to prevent such debate, in view of the overheated po litical atmosphere engendered by the murder of Erzberger. It is a foregone conclusion that the Nationalists, if tho Reichstag should convene, would promptly attack the Government because of its acceptance of paragraph No. 231 of the treaty, by which Germany and her allies accepted responsibility for the war. Treaty Ratification Assured Ratification of the treaty is believed certain in the Reichstag through the votes of the three coalition parties and the Independent Socialists, which com mand 277 out of the 409 votes. Although the Wirth Cabinet may count on a vote of confidence, If nec essary, it realizes the present hour is hardly opportune for parliamentary ac tivity. It is feared that the political feeling, if permitted to spend Its fr.rv In open session of the Reichstag, would promptly convert that body into a veri tablo cockpit. In the meantime the fight over the tragic death of l'rzberser is being woged with Increasing venom In partj organs. Tho Clerical newspaper Gcr mania, supposed to be n paragon of journalistic ethics. Is being sued by the Deutsche Tages Zeituns for libel because It included that newspaper, the organ of the Pan-Germans and the Agrarians, among the "syndicate of Nationalist murderers." Wirth May Shift to Left Political observers believo Chancel, lor Wirth, In order to sae his Cabi net, may shift to the Left for the pur pose of winning the support of the In dependent Socialists, thus securing u fiore imole foundation for his min ority Ministry and offsetting the pos sible defection of tho German People's Party. The Government is about to undergo a decisive test in the Reichstag in con nection with the forthcoming tax leg islation and other measures, and its work is being vastly Increased by the feeling arousud over the Erzberger opi tode.
