tense indignation, eliminating in
demands for his arrest, followed
today in the wake of a sensational
speech by DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
former president of the Reichs-
bank, at Bad Harzburg, Bruins
wick.
The criticism was directed
mainly against his charge that
Germanys financial situation was
far worse than the world had
been led to believe ana his ale
cation that the Reichsbank had
published "untruthful" reports
about the country's finances.
The speech prompted the
ReichSbank to issue an official
cOmmunique denying it had ever
withheld information" but ad-
mitted the truth of DIR. SchachtS
assertion that the cOuntry's for
eign debts were higher than listed
in the recent statement of the
Bank of International Settle
ments at Basle, Switzerland.
Speech is Suppressed
The demand for DR.. Schachts
arrest ION charges of high trea-
son" was made by the Republican
press. It was understood the cab
met had prohibited German
newspapers from publishing the
full text of the speech under pen
altv of indefinite suppression.

Dictatorship Is Aim
1t was revealed at Bad Harz-
burg that a dictatorship under
Hitler, similar to the Mussolini
dictatorship in Italy, was the

In a manifesto urging other
parties to join the Fascists in
the fight ito save Germany from
Bolshevism," Hitler charged that
the present government had
brought Undesirable confusion"
in its efforts to deal with foreign

He also accused France inferen-
