Abstract

The German Democratic Party

The article presents a program unanimously adopted by the Convention of the German Democratic party at Leipzig, Germany. The German Democratic party arose at the hour of the greatest need in Germany. Not following the model of the old parties, but unifying the whole people in the spirit of modern democracy, it will steadfastly pursue the aim of a state in a continuous process of social and cultural development. The party's permanent principles are freedom and justice. The whole people, with no differences of class, occupation, or religion--for democracy means adjustment of interests; it means the removal of every permanent obstacle between the rulers and the ruled; it means equal rights for all in the organization of the state as well as of society.
