The "Daily Mail's" B.erlin correspondsnt report* that what was expected to be a fateful debate for the Stresemarm Government ended in a fiasco.
Owing to fears of attempts on Herr Stresemann's life, reinforcements of police were concentrated at the Reichstag. It was anticipated that the Chancellor would be called on to face attacks from both Junkers and Socialists, and without the Socialist support he lacks a majority. Only the Junker attack eventuated. Suddenly a Communist deputy, Herr Remmele, rose and declared that there were police in the House. The President confessed that they had been ordered for special duty, in view of threatening letters against the Ministers. Herr Remmele replied that the Reichstag had been turned into a penal prison, and his friends created such an uproar that the President suspended him for eight days, and adjourned the House for an hour. When the members returned, Herr Remmele, backed by vociferous supporters, again provoked a scene, which compelled the President to adjourn the House till next day
