"With the Crown Prince at the head of the government, we "lould certainly feel safer than with thc- Sociaiist President Ebert. There i_.-, no secret about that. The machinery of coup is not yet determined. Helef- ferich and the German national party are not ready for a referend- um. With combined forces of the national, the people's and German people's parties, the three leading reactionary parties, it is not be- lieved that they would manage a majority immediately in the Rois- stag, which would carry the refer- endum through. Another plan is for a directoriunr after elections, which would tsko the power into its o\vn hands, dissolve the Reich, stag if it proved recalcitrant nndi jam through a referendum."
