THE NEW REICHSTAG
THEORETICAL POWER
\ REICHSWEHR REALITY
, (Received 2nd August, 1 p.m.)
BERLIN, Ist August,
The newspapers consider tat the new Reichstag will be as unmanageable as the old and enjoy a purely theoretical power, while the Government by ttie Reichswehr will continue its dictatorship. General von Schleicher does not display the least disposition to hand over the reins of power to any combination of parties.
The Hitlerites propound a sensational suggestion that the Communist Party should be suppressed by invalidating the claim of 89 Communist deputies to seats in the Reichstag. Thus the Right wing parties ..would be dominated, by 230 Nazis who would "be assured,of an absolute majority.
Apart from the Konigsberg affairs there were numerous bomb - outrages against buildings in Schleswig-Holstein belonging to Communists. The buildings damaged were unoccupied. Thirtyfive to forty deaths elsewhere in Germany were traceable to faction fights following the announcement of the election results.
