GERMAN FINANCE
Emergency Legislation
GOVERNMENT’S STRENGTH
Berlin, December 6.
The Reichstag defeated by 293 votes to 253 a Nationalist and Communist motion to revoke Bills for enforcing the Government’s financial schemes. The result of the voting even sur prised the Government. A Nationalist motion of confidence was not accepted for tactical reasons, and after this a Nationalist-Communist no-confidence motion was rejected by 291 votes to 156. Cabinet will thus be able to proceed with the emergency legislation and financial reforms.
A few days ago President Hindenburg signed a decree promulgating finance measures, for which Dr. Heinrich Bruening, leader of the Coalition Cabinet, had found it impossible to obtain a Parliamentary majority. . Opponents regarded the action as dictatorial, though the legal Republican constitution, however, provides that a decree must be tabled in the Reichstag and cannot be modified, but must be accepted or rejected. The decree covers 26 laws, forming a three years’ programme of financial and economic reforms.
