BERLIN. Sept. %. (U.H-The Ger.
man parliamentary crisis was more
complex today than at any time
since the recent Rcichstag elections
made the Fascist party the second
rIost powerful III the nation, and re-
rcwcd the threat of a dictatorship.
Close after the sensational state

al treaty obligations if the Facist
gain power, there were firm dcclar-
ations from government political
quarters.
An announcement, believed to
have been inspired by Chancellor
Heinrich Bruening, indicated the
cabinet would not shrink from an
open dictatorship if the new Reich
stag failed to give it majority
vote.

power, the constitution would be
changed and dccapitated heads

legal methods to evade the Vcrsail-
les treaty, and wide reaction
throughout the country.
Talk of dictatorship was great
er than at any time since the feich-
stag elections, especially because of
the decision Of the Folks party
not TO compromise with the Social,

stag, III forming a new cabinet.
This decision. coupled with Hit,
