Reichstag election, which failed to give
Hitler's brownShirtS any decisive gain.
What it did achieve was to make them
the biggest party in the ReichStag
Therefore they have the responsibility
of forming a cabinet. But since they
are not a majority, they cannot be al
lowed even to have a majority OF the
members in the incoming cabinet,
merely three or four or five of the cab
inet's armchair-the chancellorship, the
interior, labor and economic minlster1es,
perhaps.
Jobs for His Followers.
T1lis means plenty of jobs for the
Nazi boys who thereby might be DIS
ira ted from their more recent recrea-
tiors of beating, up, murdering 81 ana a
bombing political opponents. But II
would not be the third empire or
the kingdom of longing Of the Ger
mans" which for II years Adolf has
been promising his hungry followers.
Naturally Hitler has not yet accepted
anv cabinet appointment. He came to
Berlin last Friday in secret and took
lodgings with his party leader. Capt.
Hermann Goehring. Meanwhile MS
''brown house" in Munich publicly
stated that Hitler was taking a vaca-
ton in the Alps at BerchteSgarden.
Here Hitler talked with Maj. Gen. Kurt
Won Schleicher, powerful Reichswehr
minister. 1t will be remembered that a
kind of pact between President Paul
Won Hindenburg, Hitler and Won
Schleicher was announced months ago
in these dispatches.
Time to Talk Business.
Won Schleicher apparently told Hitler
that the time had come to talk OF cab
bages and kings. Hitler had had his
new election; he had had permission
for his storm battalions to appear in
their pretty new uniforms. The cab
met had sent the army to Gust the reg
ularly constituted cabinet of Prussia,
had fired most of the Socialists in that
administration, put the police under a
new Leadership and more or less left
the storm bSttalions free to control the
streets.
That they had not been able to con-
ouer the country before the election
was not Won Schleicher's fault. 1t was
not his fault either that the combined
iron Front organization and the Com
muniSts had repeatedly captured brown
clad militia boys and let them go only
after removing their brown breeches.
Hitler's party had not really succeed
ed in proving itself to be the choice of
Germany Three out of eight Germans
had voted for it, but that was not really
enough for a claim to dictatorship. Now
1t was time that Hitler himself took
the job that once was Bismarck's and
put an end to the shooing and bombing
out RACES of his followers, which are
rapidly making Germany into a coun-
try of legendary Chicago or an inferior
Guatemala.
He Prefers Presidency.
In approximately such words Won
Schleicher may have talked to Hitler
If so, Hitler doubtless answered that he
would rather be President. Governing
was not exactly in his line; he preferred
to address mass meetings or sign docu-
ments. Won Schleicher at this point
may have objected that, unfortunately
Won Hindenburg was still President
and you cannot have two at once.
Should the aged field marshal die o.
resign, Hitler might run for Office with
excellent chances of success. Blu
meanwhile how about becoming chan
cellor, together with two or three con
servative Nationalists and Catholic
or two?
Adolf has retired to consider tn
