the working women in the shops and

HITLER REMOVES
FOUR LEADING
.NAZI OFFICIALS
They Demand Fulfill
ment of His Election
Promises

BERLIN, June 20 - At the same
time that news comes that linden
burg has accepted the resignation of
Hugenberg from Hitlers Cabinet, it
was announced today that Hitler
summarily dismissed four leading Nazi
assistants from the Office of the Min
istry of Economics.
The reason for their dismissal was
their insistence that Hitler carry out
mis- election promises of National So
cialism," such as Matchmaking the
banks, etc. Hitler's latest act has
been widely hailed in the capitalist
press as indicating that he will follow
a strictly orthodox" capitalist course.
Hitlers failure to carry out his de-
maggogic election promises is arous~
ing opposition among his followers in
his own party, who we're led to ex-
pect that Hitler would curb the power
of the finance capitalists, and would
repudiate the Versailles Treaty.
A short time following tbs
resignation of DR. Alfred Hugenberg
the leader of the Nationalist Party,
from Hitler's Cabinet, Hitler is re-
ported to be on his way to confers
ence with Hindenburg who still main
tains the legal pretense of being Pres
ident of Germany
Although there had been Develop
ing increasing friction between Hit
Ter and Hugenberg ever since Hitlel,s
accession to power, his resignation
was precipitated by the memorandum
which he submitted to the London
Economic Conference short while
ago, demanding that Germany be
given large tracts of land on her
Eastern borders, particularly the Pc
lish Corridor. Hugenberg also urged
to imperialist delegates at the Con-
! ference to begin intervention against
the Soviet Union with special eye
to the re-division of the rich lands
of the Ukraine.
The Hitler government has no OBJ
jections to such a policy, but it re-
sented Hugenbergs proposing 1t so
openly at this time.
Hugenberg represents the landed
, interests in Germany, while Hitler
represents the most powerful section
of German capitalism, finance capi-
tai.

certain death
In the NaH quarters in the Wiener
Strasse Leo Krell was knocked about
by the brown shirts and ordered to
sing the Horst Vessel Song" AS
he was unable or unwilling to do so
he was beaten UP with rubber clubs
and "Stahlruten,' steel rods, until he
could no longer stand and then flung
into the cellar.
In the meantime his relatives dis
covered where he was being kept,
thanks to Baumann, and his sister
went to the police and demanded
that they should secure his release,
or, If they had anything against him,
take charge of him themselves. The
police refused to interfere and de-
clared that they we're powerless.
Died in the Hospital
A few days later the family was
informed that Krell had been re-
moved to the Nazi barracks in the
General Pape Strasse. The sister
went to this barracks, but permission
10 see her brother was refused, no
doubt with very good reason. How
ever, food and other necessaries we're
accepted on his behalf
The torture and maltreatment OF
Leo Krell were continued in the
General Pape Strasse and on the
night, March 21-22, he was delivered
into the State Hospital in the
Scharnhorst Strasse. A few hours
later he died without having recover
ed consciousness.
The corpse was taken to the
mortuary in the Hannoversche
Strasse, where Krell's doctor was
permitted to identify the body. He
declares that both face and hands
we're terribly mutilated, the head
obviously having been beaten in
with some blunt instrument or in
struments.
However, he was not permitted to
make detailed examination Of the
body, nor to take photograph.
Leo Krell's mother then received
the following short communication
from the authorities, informing her
of the death of her son -
"On March is, 1888, Leo Krell
was arrested by the Brandenburg
State Police "a lieD as political

stances.
They chased the unarmed man

Woman Beaten To Death
A notorious case is that OF the
Social Democratic member of the
Coepenick Town Council, Frau YAM

MOLEY CARRIES FURTHER
u. S. DRIVE FOR TRADE
WAR AT LONDON FARLEY
France Delivers Ultimatum on Adjournment
Within One Week Unless Countries Support
Gold Standards of European Nations

This statement came after q re-
port that j. Ramsey Macdonald,
British prime minister and chairman
of the conference, had sent per
sonal message to Roosevelt, asking
him to take immediate steps toward
some sort of currency agreement in
order to save the conference.
Macdonald was in conference for
more than hour with Moley today
and urged him to intercede with the
United States government to call off
the trade war at least for time.
France Threatens Adjournment
France, despairing of maintaining
its gold standard, delivered an ulti-
matum that if other nations would
not aid in sterilization of the re-
naming gold currencies in Europe
she would propose the conference
adjourn indefinitely.
The action of France and the
United States was seen as sealing
the verdict of death for the confer
ence that has been in a condition
Of total paralysis since the declara-
ton of world wide trade and tariff
war by the United States delegation
British Delegation Splitting.
While the majority of the British
delegates back MacDonalds stand
in refusing to help France save its
gold standard, Neville Chamberlain
chancellor of the exchequer, urges
British support of continental cur
rencies to save their gold standard
Chamberlain takes the position that
every effort ought to be made to
save the remaining gold currencies
and try to reach an agreement with
European and other nations to raise
higher tariff walls against United
States products.
Gold Countries Back France.
Other gold countries are solidly
backing the French course at the
conference on the limited question
of maintaining the gold standard
Italy is in this group, but opposes
French policy on every other ques-
ton 1t is known that attempts are
being made to form sort of gold
defense league" consisting of France
Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and Hol-
land.
At a meeting of delegates from
these countries Emile Farooue Of
Belgium heatedly REM ~eed that the
only thing lc for Belgium is to
withdraw from the conference if she
is not aided in remaining on the gold
standard
1t is quite clear that nothing can
save the gold standard of the coun-
tiles and that within a few days
possibly hours, there will not be one
gold standard country on earth.
Germany Cannot Meet Payments.
The financial crisis in Germany
continues and gets worse every day
Exempted from reparations pay
ments, interest payments will not be
met on the Young loan. 1t is an
