Appeal 70 HindenburY. .
The committee asserted the cabinet
had clearly violated the constitution
and decided to ask President Won Hin
denburg to compel the chancellor and
his cabinet to appear before the COM
mittee. ~
Announcing that democracy had bro
ken down in Germany, the chancellor
gave every indication that he intended
to continue to hold the reins under the
slogan: With Won Hindenburg for
Germany"
In the meantime, plans proceeded for
taking to the Supreme Court the issue
Of the legality of the chancellorS de-
cree Of dissolution. which the opposi..
ton contended was presented out OF
order while vote was being taken.
The government Of the Reich" the
chancellor said, is Of the opinion that
the system of formal democracy has
broken down and Is incapable of resur-
rection." He earnestly begged private
employers to read the signs rof the
times Alright" declaring II they did not
they would find themselves "ruthlessly
swallowed" by those whose aim was
state socialism.
Refers TO French Reply.
In a radio address TO the people last
night the chancellor said the French
reply to Germanys request for equality
in armaments is not calculated to
bring nearer the solution of this Sc
rious problem" The address was one
which he was prevented from delivering
in the Reichstag yesterday by the de-
velopments there The French reply
vas delivered to the government yes
terday.
He. also delivered bitter attack on
coalitions" within Germany, aiming a
special shaft at Adolf Hitler's Nazis.
When you gentlemen of the Nazis."
he said, begin your class warfare
against the fine people, against the
barons, and when you think success at
the elections will follow such tactics,
am afraid you are in for bitter
disappointment"
People Seem Calm.
Although the police expected trouble
last night especially in the neighborhood
Of the Reichstag buildings. there was
no disorder and the people as whole
seemed unexcited by the political situa-
ton
But the National and Prussian cab
inetS were IN session until early morn
ing, discussing the measures which must
be taken in the next few days. At the
Kaiserhof Hotel Adolf Hitler was in
conference with prominent members OF
his party. He fully approved the con-
duct Of Hermann Wilhelm Goering as
speaker of the Reichstag and asked him
to speed up the appeal before the Su-
preme Court.
This morning Goering gave ground
further by admitting at meeting OF
the Reichstag Committee for safeguard
ing the rights Of the Parliament that
Yesterdays dissolution was legal. At
the same time he insisted that his pro-
cedure in completing the vote OF non
confidence also was legal.
Early in the day police, investigating
reports Of plot to dynamite the Reich
stag Building, searched the ofnces OF the
Communist party in the Reichstsg with
out permission. A protest was hled with
the government.
Former Chancellor Bruening. leader
Of the Centralist party. issued a state
ment this morning asserting that the
was entirely contrary to the
spirit and text Of the constitution.
