BERLIN, August 29.-Defying all
the political parties of Germany to
oust his junker government, Chancellor
Franz Won Papen has laid before the
nation year-long resusciation program
that will risk nearly half billion dol
lars on the imminent return of pros
perity.
The chancellor launched his program
for harasSed Germany before a meet
ing of Westphalian farmers at Muen-
ster yesterday He gave defiance espe-
cially to the outspoken Na1 leader,
Adolf Hitler, and served notice that he
would keep the seat of power thus:
If necessary I shall use force to
bring about recognition of the equal
rights applicable to all German citizens.
I am firmly determined to stamp out
the smouldering fires of civil war and
to suppress increasing political unrest
and political acts of violence"
Then came the surprising junker
scheme to coax back prosperity and to
give more than 100000 of Germany's
5,O00,000 jobless something to do. It
was based on this premise:
I'VE proceed from the consideration
that important signs point to the fact
that the bottom of the depression has
been reached, hence all efforts to re-
invigorate industry will contribute to-
ward actual revival"
S476,O00,OO0 Program.
The heart of the scheme itself,
roughly, was:
More than two billion marks (cur-
rently about $476,000,000 can be risked
on the program, which has been ap-
proved by the Reichsbank, and which
should be financed by a system of tax
certificates.
All taxes of nature likely to hinder
production, such as the turnover tax
and the transportation tax, due between
November IL this year and the same
date next year, and estimated at l.
eO,000, 900 marks, will be handed back
to the economic life of the country in
the form of certificates. The taxpayer
can borrow the equivalent of these Ger
tiflcateS from the Reichsbank for use
in his business. In addition. TOO, ,000, 900
marks Will be advanced to such in
dustries as will increase their en-.
ployes. The government hopes this will
give employment to at least 1,750,000
men.
The chancellor's speech was con-
Sidered especially in the light of the
opening of the ReichStag and the Prus-
sian Diet on Tuesday, and the rumored
Hitler -Centrist coalition.
In fact, Won Papen began his address
with bitter attack on the 'impulsive
reckleSsness" of Hitler and he spoke
plainly on the heavy penalties imposed
by special courts for political violence.
Il recognize no principle of justice"
he said, which is usurped by one class
or party as an instrument of combat.
The inplusive recklessness
manifested by the Nazi leader is i'll
suited to his claim for leadership in
government. If in opposition
to Hitler I advocate a state based on
justice, real commonwealth of people
and an authority conduct of govern
ment, it is I and not he who pursues
the aim which millions of his followers
have yearned for =.
IF today there is talk of a coalition
between the Centrists and the NaziS'
i-parliamentarian principles - the
secret thought underlying such a coah-
tion can be only that one party seeks
to destroy the other"
He said he regarded it AS his duty
to ward off interference by the influence
of parties and declared the months
to come" would be devoted to recon-
struction along all lines.
Import Control Planned.
The chancellor's program further
Il - ~t-1r
rency or to embark on any scheme to
make Germany self-sufficient, although
he said continued moderate regulation
of imports was planned.
In his argument for returning tax
money to the payers he stressed that
the money advanced for tax certifi-
Gates would be loans to be repaid be-
tween 1884 and 1888.
Other features were authorization for
employers to cut wages-but not below
