BERLIN, october 18.-Airing of
factional enmities in the Reichstag to-
day delayed further the governments
program of, legislation for rehabilita-
ton of German business and brought
charges to the door of the Nationalist
and Hitlerites of having caused Ger
many's postwar woes, leading up to
her present stringency.
The almost sleepy progress of today's
parliamentary session was suddenly
interrupted by a Socialist speaker, VIII
helm Hoegner, who. in bitter TRADE
against the Right Wing members,
charged that the Nationalist, with
their wild wartime talk about an
nexation and tributes, and the Fascists,
with their threats and growing OPP
position to government plans, had
caused foreign nations to look upon
Germany with distrust.
,Jocialists Decide to Fight.
The speech was brought forth by
goading of the Right parties, which the
Socialists, with their 143 seats, decided
to openly resist. An arraignment,
which started as a fiery grafton, how
ever, soon deteriorated into a two-man
debate.
With IL non-confidence motions
before the House directed at cabinet
officers, the government forces believed
they had a safe margin Of from 80
to 40 votes in the Reichstag with
which to resist attempts to block their
measures of procedure.
The Nationalist and FaScistS had
formed coalition to oppose the $685.
000,0 foreign loan, which yesterday
passed its first and second readings,
and was expected today to continue
onward to passage.
Hoegner, in his speech, asked the
Reichstag members to bear in mind
that it was the Socialists who, during
the war, did most to discourage SUBJ
versive talk, and that it was the Social
lists, as Nationalist after the war, who
accomplished liberation Of the Rhine
land.
Hall Thrown Into Confusion.
Instantly the Plenary Hall was q
scene of confusion Hoegner had been
delegated by his group TO respond to
the weary, continual harping of the
opposition on Socialist weakness in re-
spect to the Versailles treaty. His
words were greeted with furious shouts
of Get outl" and French agent" One
Fascist with more lung power than the
rest shouted, Hes doing dirty work
for the French!"
This turmoil reached its limit when,
in response to incessant calls by the
National Socialist, Gregor Strasser,
yesterdays flaming Fascist speech
maker, the runpus leveled to dialogue
between Strasser and Hoegner.
The Socialist speaker sought to place
upon the Fascists responsibility for the
economic and political woes of Germany
in recent years. He indicated the fact
that Germany had been subjected to
unfavorable conditions in the Versailles
treaty and that these conditions had
not since been ameliorated was due to
the suspicion abroad of warlike tenden-
cies in the Fascist policies His speech
also was aimed at Hitler's activities,
which had caued distrustful treatment
in European financial quarters.
Situation Grows Worse.
In the moments that followed it was
a question who had the floor, with both
delegates talking at once at the top
OF their voices. This kept the opposing
sides in state of agitation, which final
ly grew worse when charges of accept
ing money from France were hurled
from the Fascist benches of the So
cialist, Breitscheidt, who has been a
frequent delegate to Geneva.
Former Interior Minister Severing
walked up to the Speakers desk and
formally demanded that President Loebe
call the Fascist to order.
There was a breathless moment as
Severing went boldly through the Fas-
cjst section toward the cloak room
The Left held itself tense, and there
was the atmosphere of an impending
riot. The Left obviously was waiting for
Severing to be struck, but this did not
happen AS the former minister made
his exit yells filled the Chamber.
CLASH WITH FASCISTS.
