New Reichstag Coming

New Reichstag Coming.

While America is in danger of making no move for months, Germany is believed by some to be in danger of making a critical move in a matter of weeks or even days. President Hindenburg was recently referred to as a figure of destiny, one who has intrigued the world by his unique progress from Hohenzollernism to Re-publicism, from Right to Left and from Left to Right. Already some observers are completing the circle of his progress back to a restored Wilhelm III. But, unless a coup d'etat forestalls it, there will soon be a new Reichstag to be reckoned with. Will it be a deadlocked assembly of balanced forces like the Prussian Diet, and will a German dictatorship follow the Prussian dictatorship? Or will the States of Germany win back Parliamentary Government, despite the Hitlers and Von Papens? What national unity demands Hindenburg will give.
