HITLER'S POLICY APPROVED

POLITICAL TESTAMENT OF HINDENBURS DESIRE FOR .MONARCHY DOCUMENT LSEITL TO NAZIS (B.NTIKH I'llE'-S ASSOCIATION- -r.Y KLBCIRIO ■IKMKHt.U'U —COI'TUIGHT.) (Received August 16, 7.50 p.m.) BERLIN, August 15. Herr von Papen has handed to llerr Hitler a document containing President von Hindenburg's "political testament," which bitterly laments the political and economic unrest in which Germany finds herself. One passage asks: "When will the rock arise out of these troubled seas that will save Germany, namely, a German Kaiser for ( the Reich?" It is expected that the publication of the document will greatly assist Herr Hitler's demand for unanimous support at the referendum on Sunday. The first part, of the political testament, addressed to the German people and their Chancellor, was written in 1919. "At this time of German despair," it recalls that a century before, men believing in the holiness of their task founded the new Fatherland. President, von Hindcnburg declares that a wave of wild passions overwhelmed the former constitution, but that it will recede again, revealing the rock of Kaiserdom which their forefathers had firmly grasped. The second portion, dated May 2, 1934, refers to the writer's acceptance of the Presidentship in in order to lead a disunited and discouraged people to consciousness of their unity. "I was convinced that the constitution adopted 'in distress did not correspond with the people's needs and qualities. The hour must come when this belief will generally be accepted. "I thank Providence that at the evening of my life He vouchsafed me an hour of rebirth. Hitler and his movement have taken a step of historic importance towards leading Germans to domestic unity, but much remains to be done. "I depart from my people firmly hoping that what I desired in 19" r >. and which slowly ripened to fruition on January 30, 1933, will lead to the fulfilment of Germany's historic destiny, and in that firm belief in the future of the Fatherland 1 can quietly close my eyes." j ._ .
