the world lost $3.50, 900, 900 900, wiping
out the accumulated wealth Of gen.

SHORTEST TO DATE
Goering, Reelected Presi-

Parliament Adjourns.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, December 12-The Ger
man Reichstag met today for the
shortest session in its history-seven
and one-half minutes.
The new Parliament was practically
Nazi body; women and Jews were
completely absent. The absence of
Chancellor Adolph Hitler, who was in
Wilhelmshaven, was equally notable.
Hermann Goering, Prussian premier,
was reelected President of the Reich
stag and was the only speaker. He
confined his remarks to recording a
unanimous sentiment for the nomina-
tionS of himself and three vice presi-
dents.
Then he led the house in a full
throated Hell Hitler!" and adjourned
the session until further notice"
Crowds Disappointed.
Crowds of spectators who surround
ed the Kroll Opera House, where the
Reichstag was seated because the
Reichstag Building still has not been
refurbished following its partial de-
struction by fire last February. were
disappointed by their inability to see
Hitler.
He, however, had gone to Wilhelms-
haven to welcome the German cruiser
Koeln returning from world trip.
When the session opened the legisla-
tors Immediately reelected Goering and
elected as vice presidents Hans Kerrl,
Prussian minister of justice; Thomas
Esser, president of the Bavarian Diet,
and Emil Glore Won Stauss. director
Of the Deutsche Bank and formerly a
populist party member Of the Reichs-
tag. Won Stauss' election was a con-
cession to non-Nazis. He was instru-
mental in making a contact between
Hitler and big business concerns during
the months preceding Hitler's seizure
Of power.
Agreed to Obey Orders.
In a session preliminary to the OPEN
ing of the new Reichstag, four of the
members, representing the 655 Nazi
legislators, personally promised Chan
cellor Hitler to obey all orders without
question.
This they did without having received
generally the slightest inttmation OF
what program is planned.
This Reichstag," the chancellor said
in a speech to the members last night.
must earn the future reputation OF
having been the youngest, the boldest
and the most courageous OF all and OF
hasing solved problems which have
defied centuries"
1t was necessary to enlarge the seat
ing arrangements in the Krall Opera
House to accommodate the 661 mem
bers of the Reichstag-91 seats being
added to make up the difference over
the OLD body.
The entire interior of the building
was a mass of flags, the old imperial
and the new swastika colors sharing
places of honor.
The ministry of propaganda asked all
cafe owners to tune on broadcast OF
the proceedings to enable their patrons
to hear the opening speeches.
It was recalled on all sides that this
was one of the Yule seasons in recent
years when the country faced neither
a cabinet nor government crisis.

the tension within the party'E ranks.
Some members are continuing their
efforts to reach an understanding
with the present Hitler government.
The size OF this group cannot be es-
timated.
Understanding With Hitler
ut seems that the conflict is bound
to come to head in Hamburg, where
a group of refornist trade union Of
ficialS wants to give up opposition
to the government. This group has
some representatives in the Hamburg
Senate and it is expected that they
will Secede from the Social Demo-
cratic Party and form a new frac-
ton" Qn the meantime they have
already broken away and formed a
new party called the German Work
ers Party" A similar group in Mu-
mich calls itself the German Social
ists.'D
The correspondent continues: THE
same tendencies exist in the Reichs-
banner. The latter'S members re-
ceived a circular letter in which three
alternatives are outlined: /. Doing
nothing at all. 2. Continuing to
work Illegally. 8. Trying to reach
some understanding with the present
German government.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-05-12


'T'he circular letter rejects the first
two alternatives and recommends the
third. It adds that some changes
would have to be made in organiza-
ton, of course, the name would have
to be changed, and some of the for
mer aims would have to be aban-
doned. 1T will be necessary to con-
fine ourselves to military sports and
to work for the fatherland Nothing
for everything for Ger
many 1t is not known as yet how
this circular was received by the
members of the Reichsbanner.
New Party
Some leaders Of the Reichsbanner
want to start a new German So
cialist Party comprising the old ma
tlonalist Socialists and the military
youth.
Many old Socialists refuse to have
anything to do with a compromise
with the Fascists. They prefer to
work Illegally instead of doing the
dirty work for the Fascists. The
Party leadership is doing it's best to
keep those conflicting tendencies to-
gether, and hopes that it will be pos
sible to continue the Partys legal
existence. :"

Authorities Using Fascist Measures
The sbrogation Of all civil liberties
Is one of the characteristics of Fas-
cism wherever it msnifests itself
whether under MusSolini in Italy or
Hitler in Germany. Such an illegal
action as was committed on Tuesday
against an organization seeking to aid
the victims of the Hitler terror would
seem to justify the charge that au-
thorities here are also attempting fas-
cist methods
Again we protest against this act,
demand an apology and insist upon
the strict enforcement of all the civil
liberties guaranteed to citizens, and
especially to the workers and their
organizations, in the Constitution OF
the United States and in the laws Of
the United States and of the state
