edeeisive majority.
The cabinet will meet Tuesday to
set the date for the Reichstag convoca-

The electoral Endorsement of the Hit

Communists and Socialists. leaves no
doubt that the next few months Will
be devoted to wiping out the last
vestiges of both Democracy and Com

Hitler's Nazi will comprise the larg-
est group ever sent TO German Parma

2Ss seats in Reichstag with SAT.
Ttieir Nationalist allies got So seats.

- Clear Mani Ma jOrities.
If the Communists are ruled out. as is
expected. Chancellor Hitler will doml-
nate the situation entirely, the NazisI
thus obtaining clear majorities on both
the Reichstag and the Prussian Diet.
The Nazis and Nationalist won 43 and
9Sper cent, respectively, Of the Diet
seats.
In view of the sweeping Rightist vic
tory, the trade unions. with total OF
100000 workers and white collar em-
pIOyes- under Socialist and Centrlst
influence face annihilation. These have
been the backbone Of the resistance to
Hitler and it remains to be seen
whether Hitler, like MuSsolini, will at
tempt to create substitute FascSt
labor organization.
Another question Is what attitude
the Catholic Centrists and their allies,
the Bavarian Populists, will take
toward the government and what attl-
tude the government will adopt toward
them. They were the only large OPP
position element not campaigning under
severe repressive measures.
Vast changes in officialdom. carrying
the spirit of Hitlerism into every home
and vitality affecting the nations
cultural. economic and social life, are
most likely 20 be effected. II Hitler
adheres to the program of the govern
ment, the foreign as we'll as domestic
policy will be most militant.
