BERLIN, November 2l.-Adolf Hitler,
who has been campaigning nine years
to head the German government. final
ly received a mandate to form cabinet
today.
But President Won Hindenburg at
tached to the request certain political
conditions which some observers thought
would make Hitlers acceptance i'm
probable
The President insisted that the Hitler
cabinet be backed by "a majority or al
most majority Of the Reichstag.
Hitler retired to confer with his ad-
visers, promising to answer before the
end of the day.
One of his closest associates said this
afternoon that ''it is obviously impos-
sible for Hitler, who has spent his
whole political life in bitter fight
against parliamentary haggling to try
to resurrect a system which already is
dead. 1t is most likely that he will tell
the President that he is still ready to
head an authoritary cabinet, but his
reply will be SO conciliatory as to leave
open all doors to negotiations"
Interview Is Shcrt.
The interview between the President
and the Nal leader this morning lasted
only is minutes and afterward there
was the bare announcement that Hitler
had received the conditional mandate,
as leader OF the strongest party IN the
Reichstag.
subsequently Hitler issued a state
n1ent that he must consider all the con-
ditions before replying. 1t developed
then that there were other strings IN
addition to that stipulating support by
the Reichstag.
One of them, 1t was understood, was
a stipulation that the Hitler cabinet
must not interfere with the FEDERAL
commission government of Prussia. This
and other conditions. observers Thought,
will make 1t impossible for Hitler TO
negotiate.
It was pointed out the pivotal
harties-the Nationalist the Centrists
and the Bavarians--are possibly willing
to have the Nazis govern Germany,
but unwilling to have the Nan leader
dominate the situation.
Communique Issued.
A government communique said Hitler
would notify the President OF his course
Immediately, and added:
Herr Hitler was commissioner In
the capacity of leader of the largest
party in the Reichstag after he had
declared most enphatically to the
president of the Reich that his party
could cooperate only in a government
led by himself"
A spokesman for the Fascist leader
told the Associated Press that this was
the Nszi viewpoint:
Herr Hitler does not feel that he. as
leader of the largest party in Germany,
should run around begging the smaller
parties for support. We are quite will
ing to have men like Konstantin Won
Neurath, Count LutZ Won krosigk
Schwerin and Gen. Kurt Won Schleicher,
continue to serve"
Crowds Gather.
Won Neurath was Chancellor Franz
Won Papen's foreign minister, Count
Won Krosigk, his finance minister, and
Gen. Won Schleicher, the minister OF
defense.
Just as on Saturday, crowds gathered
IN front of the Presidents ONCE and
the Kaiserhof Hotel to watch Hitler ar
rive and depart. His followers sent up
loud cheers, and the police were forced
to keep a lane clear for the Naz motor
car.
