ORDER
MOST DRAMATIC SITTING.
LONDON, 12th October
The "Daily Chronicle's" Berlin corTsspondent describes the Reichstag sitting aa the most dramatio ever held. The Government early judged the situation to be most critical. Herr Stresemann decided on strong action and left the House to interview President Ebert, and obtain powers to dissolve the Reichstag should the Emergency Law Bill be defeated. He returned and told the leaders. The hews created a sensation. Socialists hurriedly assembled and decided to vote in favour of the Bill, instead of abstaining from voting as they intended, but the news did not affect the Communists or the Nationalists. The debate was continued, but few gave it any attention. One party meeting' was held after another. The excitement grew, more and more intense. The debaters covered every topic Srom the dollar to the Dusseldorf negotiations, and from Junkers to Jews.
A Nationalist charged iierr Stresemann with bluffing. He was shouted down.
Between now and. Saturday, absent deputies will be whipped up. It is thus hoped to secure the. necessary majority.
