The article focuses on the current political situation in Germany. remarkable. Work is being generally resumed. Public meetings, long prohibited or kept under severe restriction, may now be openly held, and the freedom of speech has become as great as the freedom of assembly. Apparently there is still a postal censorship, but all its rigors are reported to have disappeared. A general amnesty for political offenders is promised, and an eight-hour working day is expected to go into effect at the beginning of the new year. What is even more significant is the reported change in the tone and bearing of officials, who have suddenly become both courteous and accommodating.
