Bernstorff is a spared monument of the imperial regime, trusted by the Ebert government; so is Dernburg; and now we read that Dr. Albert, long the financial officer of the propaganda in this country, the feeder and sustainer of all the reptiles, big and little, has been appointed by the Ebert government as under-Secretary of State and given the direction...
