Note 22 — Chapter III · THE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLE

The principal of the new “Nine Points” are: 1. The troops of Reichswehr remain in their position and must not advance on the industrial area except with the express authorization of the Cabinet. 2. The red army dissolves and gives up its arms. 3. Adequate police is assured by the constitutional authorities, supported by “committees on public order” and of “local armies” composed of workers, salaried employés and civil servants of all parties. 4. The “committees of action” and the “executive committees” are dissolved.
