BITTER BATTLE LOOMS

limited Press staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Oct. 13-Chancellor
Heinrich Bruening outlined the
policies of his government to a
crowded reichstag today, and an
nounced he would resign at once II
the reichstag demands Germany
! declare a moratorium.
Bruening, seeking vote of con-
fdence so the government can pro-
coed under dictatorial powers with
internal economic reform and in
ternational negotiations, cried:
"I prefer being called a traitor
to depressing from my path"
Beginning his counter offensive
against the Nationalist-Fasclsm
demonstration at Hamburg on Sun
day he said he understood the role
of the opposition, "But there are
! limits"
Hits at Schacht
Hitting at DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
who criticised the governments
financial policies, he denounced
"utterances at Hamburg destined to
shake the public's confidence IN
German currency"
He added that the creation OF a
panic would tend only to block the
success of a possible future Ma
tionalist government.
The Nationalist opposition, fight
ing to overthrow the government
and have a general election, did not
appear at the start of the session
The entire cabinet, frock-coated
was seated on the government
bench. Bruening was pale and in
tent.
Bruening Is Earnest
AS soon as the session convened
Ernst Torgler, a Communist, de-
manded withdrawal of the police
forces around the reichstag, Will
helm Groener, minister of defense
whose police powers were made
wider in the cabinet reorganization
sat unmoved.
Bruening faced the packed gal
leries and spoke earnestly, in quiet
voice. The new cabinet, he said
would pursue a policy of worldwide
peace and reconciliation in the
same spirit as in recent interna-
tional negotiation, especially the
Franco German conversations. AT
home, the cabinet would press for
economic reconstruction.
He remarked that the army was
able to cope with all possible
emergencies, an assurance that the
government was prepared against a
"putsch" by the Hitler-Hugenberg
Nationalist forces.
Greeted with Applause
In his address, Bruening fore
Swallowed further restrictions on
German imports, notably agricul-
tural commodities.
international cooperation" he
said, "is necessary to prevent a
total collapse" and concluded:
Il stand before you and every one
of you shares the responsibility"
He was greeted with strong ap-
plause, punctuated by the Com
munist battle cry. The reichStag re-
cessed until Tuesday at noon.

Governor ASpirant Makes
Stand Plain at Meeting;
Cheers Greet Statement
at Franklin.
BY BEN STERN

FRANKLIN, Ind, Oct. 13.-Un-
furled to the autumn breezes and
dashed firmly to the candidacy Of
Paul V. McNutt for the Democratic
nomination for Governor today is
the flag of public ownership OF
public utilities.
Overnight it has become a domi-
nant issue in the campaign of 1882,
and is expected by supporters of the
Indiana law~School dean to align
against him the powerful utility in
terestS.
McNutt's statement for public
ownership was taken by the more
than 500 Democrats of the Seventh
district, who met in the armory here
Monday night for a Discovery day
dinner and harmony meeting, to
mean just exactly what was in their
own minds-public ownership OF
utilities.
Voices Utilities Stand
In the middle of his short address
on the necessity for strict adherence
to Jeffersonian doctrine, McNutt
halted for a moment and then de-
clared:
Included in this Jefersonian
program is this: Continued public
ownership and continued public con-
troll of all public utilities.
There is only one side of this
question upon which the Democratic
party can find itself, and that is
upon the side of the consuming
public"
For a moment there was a pause,
as if the auditors were mulling over
the words, and then the cheering
broke loose, with many jumping to
their feet.
Smiling broadly and cheering as
Justify, as young children Saluting a
favorite hero, were Mayor John
McCarty of Washington, Ind, who
has gained a national reputation for
the successful manner in which he
has operated the municipally-owned
light plant in his home town, and
Jap Jones of Martinsville, organizer
of an association to promote lower
utility rates, who has been the tar
get of bitter attack by members OF
the public service commission.
Jones' Approval Significant
What made the cheering by Jones
of more Importance is the fact that
he long had been regarded as a
leader of opposition to McNutt's
candidacy.
Rededication to the principle of
an income tax was forecast in the
further statement by McNutt that
''the fundamental law of taxation is
this: The burden Of taxation must
be distributed with the ability to
pay"
Pleading for the Democratic
party not to be fooled by the
panaceaS of political fakirs and not
to buy the nostrums of patent
medicine vendors, Frederick Van
Mugs Of Indianapolis, principal
speaker, of the almost fve-hour
program, declared that the solution
to the present situation lies in a
return to government by the people.
Van Nuys painted a gloomy pic
ture of Republican prospects next
year and declared that leaders of
that party are going to draft
Frederick Lands for the nominal
ton for Governor next year, so
that they can get rid of the pro-
greSSives for all time to come"
