reichstag, for ample precedents have been furnished by state governments that turned parliamentary defeat Into profit. Taking advantage of a statement they re tnained in office on the pretense of ''conducting affairs temporarily pending clarification of the parliamentary situation.” lAn outstanding feature of the new reichstag was Its distinctly antlcapitallatlc tinge. Three quarters of the new deputies belong to ‘'socialist" parties. The anticapitalistic tendency might influence the t'atliolles to abandon their opposition to the nnti-com-muntatloVon I’apen regime.

Hugenberg’s "Kaiserism ” Appeal Step Towards German Monarchy * * * * * Speech of Nationalist Leader, Urging Germans to Seek < “Place in the Sun," Seen as Bid for ' r Return of Ilohenzollerns. , ExCiajwJn 3 S*. PRIMC6 „ I. Dw HU6Sm3E&& Pr£s VTON HINPEMDEBS Significant to political obterver* is the recent speech of Dr. Alfred Hugenberg, leader of the German Nationalist Party, during which ke issued an appeal to his countrymen for the return of “Kaiserism” as the only means whereby Germany could attain her rightful “place in the sun.” Hugenberg’s oration followed closely upon that of Adolf Hitler, Fascist leader, who recently declared that the days of democracy in Germany would soon be a thing of the past. It is well Unown that both the H itler and Hugenberg blocs Have long been leaning towards a return of the monarchy in Germany, at has also the President of the Republic, Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, who, according to reports, has offered to step aside on many occasions to make way for a member of the Hohenzoliern family. Since the recent move by Chancellor von Papen, placing Prussia under a dictatorship, the monarchist party has been in greater power than ever since the abdication of the Kaiser. Most of the present German Cabinet are men who formerly stood high in Imperial councils, so it is believed that all these factors combine to make the restoration of the monarchy a simple matter. However, it is unlikely that the ex-Kaiser will ever again hold the sceptre in Germany. It is far more reasonable to suppose that Crown Prince Wilhelm will be the member of the Hohen zollern family, if any, to take the reins in the Fatherland. But regardless of the one on whom the honor falls, the question in Germany now is t,c' "will the monarchy he restored ?” but when will the rsrstoratjon take place? _ ... . s

! Berlin, Following so closely upon j the heels cf A<lolf Hitler's tecent threat that democracy In Germany will soon he a thing of the past, the ! strong cull for the return of ‘ Kai- ' sensin'’ issued by Hr. Alfred Hugj onheig, leader of the Nationalist j Party, in a .public speech at Koenigsberg. East Prussia, is rot without its significance. Tlie Hugenberg and Hitler fore s I have long been allied and jointly do j dicated to putting the Fatherland ! buck in her "place in the snn" fri ni which she was so rudely ousted dur- | ing the World War. And the recent move by Chancellor von Papen in ; establishing a dictatorship ovet; Prussia is s on by keen observers ! as the first step in that direction : which means the ultimate restoration of the monarchy in Gei many. Mugenberg who was privy councillor under the old moimrchial rej gime, has stated on many occasions ] that "Kaiserism" i- the country’s j safest guaranty for a clean, strong and righteous State, tile further declares that the real Gerir.un manhood will never ho developed until i universal military paining, forbid den by the Treaty of Versailles is i -established, adding that German 1 v uth demands discipline and lead- | ership wiiich can only be hud under , the old militaristic order. N t so long ago Viscount Rothermere, famous English publisher and | one of the keenest .poitical observers of European affairs, predicted that the Hohonzollerns would be 1 holding the reins in Germany befor i the end of 1933. After three years of studying the German situation. Rothermer stated frankly thnt the German pe ple were growing increasingly resentful against the Republican form of j government under which they have lived since the revolution of 1918. It is the impotence of the Uepuh- ' lie rather than its actions which have made it unpopular. No achiej vementr of economic benefit can be claimed for its record, bays Rot hermer, end the German pec,pie think hack longingly to the days of the monarchy when prosperity seemed n ver-endlng. Therefore, the word monarchy is synonymous with good times. The number of people in the Rhineland who believe that all the country's hard luck is directly attributable to the fall of the Kaiser is amazing and it is Rothermere's firm conviction that the exiled moni roll's return would be welcomed with unbounded e.int htu sia sin throughout Germany. It will not need a ievolution to rc-,-tre the Hohenzollern dynasty. Those who make it their business j to keep a cautious finger on the pulse of the nation are positive in their assertions that "Kaiserism" is already in the German saddle. The i

i ■ President of the Republic, Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, is, • paradoxically, a staunch adherent • cf the royal house. It has been whis- • pered on many occasions that the ■ aged soldier-statesman is willing at : any time to step t.side and relinquish the reins of government te - the ex-Kaiser or a men her of his I family. ; Then, too, the German Cabinet . : now in power consists mainly of I : statesmen who sto d high in the Imt perlil service. This factor combined . with the joint support of the Hitlerand Hugenberg parties, would make ; the restoration of the lloh nzollcrn , dynasty a -mooth, bloodless coup • d'etnt. And there is no time like the pres- - such a move. 'The German people are weary of .parly bickerings and internal strife and, as has 1 already been pointed out. have glorious visions of the old era of pr sperity that preceded the abdiction ’ :of the Reiser. They would welcome j ia masterful hand on the helm cf i ; State believing in their desperation I | that all their economic ills would fly out the wind w when a Kaiser . 1 comes in the door. The question now is not will the monarchy return, but who will be . the next Kaiser? It is thought tin i I likely that Wilhelm will come back 1 from his exile at Doom, so t o hi st I bet is former Cr wn I’:l ice Wilhelm. : ■ (V— — SCHOOL BOARD HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING TODAY CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE # # # # « «« ' ; than by taxation.
