Foreign Minister Curtius board the train
for Paris they will have embarked on
a mission so vital that it cannot mis-
carry. it was believed without disastrous
repercussions in all Europe. Not only
are they themselves agreed on this point
but also their enemies of the Right and
Left. They will leave tonight on the
famous Express du Nord.
The very fact. however. that the
statesmen have decided to go is cited
by those close to the government as
evidence they are convinced they will
encounter in Paris a similar realization
OF the peculiar perils of the crisis and
the need for meeting 1t in a spirit Of
mutual understanding.
Extra Session Rejected.
The possibility OF wrecking the mis-
sion even before the officials leave had
been seen in todays meeting OF the
Council of Elders called to vote on the
oppositionist motion to call the Reichs-
tag.
The council. however. rejected the
demand by Communists and National
Socialists for a special session next
week
It's action was influenced bv a letter
from Chancellor Bruening which Paul
Loebe. Speaker of the House, read to
the council
It said: Having regard to the gravity
of a situation concerning which l need
not go into detail. must in the interest
of the fatherland urgently requl st that
the council reject demands to convene
the Reichstag. An extra session at this
time would only do serious harm"
The vote count showed that proxies
| had been voted for 228 Reichstag mem
bers. including National Socialists.
Nationalists and Communists. for the
extra session. The Reichstag has SIT
members and thus the necessary ma
jority was not obtained.
Meet Again Thursday.
The three opposition parties moved
that the elders meet again next Thurs
dav to consider calling the Reichstag
into session at a later date. This was
agreed to.
The Paris parley and the London
council Of ministers, following 1t on
Monday. are hailed with sincere relief
in pro-government quarters as a sign
that the recognition of European soli-
darity is at last getting a grip on the
minds OF Europe's statesmen.
The conviction is growing in the press
not to let Germanys crisis become
Eurcpe's catastrophe. The Nationalist
opposition. however. doesn't disguise its
distrust of any Franco-German parley
on French soil at this time.
The Industrialist Allgemeine Zeitung
which leans toward Adolf Hitler. even
warns Bruening that not only his gov
eminent but his life will not be safe
IL he gives way in Paris to French
blackmail" The Nationalist Der Tag
saws. by accepting the French invi-
taiton the government has overthrow
its entire previous program at one
blow"
Reds Intrench Themselves.
The DeutSche Tages Zeitung is re-
minded of the days when Germany
accepted President Wilson's II points
in the fond hope they were the means
of a new era of world solidarity. At
the other extreme, the Communist press
views the forthcoming parleys as the
united front against Moscow
At Gelsenkirchen the mob of Com
munists who were intrenched in the
streets throughout the night were
dispersed by police with little resist
ance at dawn and % of them were
arrested.
Authorities regained control OF the
barricaded thoroughfareS and stationed
patrols at focal points to avoid repe-
tition of last nights rioting They said
police withheld their fire rather than
cause bloodshed. No police were in
jured, but the condition of the rioters
was not known.
