RESIGNATION OF CHANCELLOR ALTERNATIVES TO PRESIDENT. VON PAPEN MAKING INQUIRIES. PROSPECT OF DICTATORSHIP. (United l'ress Association--By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) Received 11.50 a.m. to-day. BERLIN, Jan. 29. The Chancellor, General Schleicher, presented President Hindenburg with three possibilities, firstly a Government supported by a majority in the Reichstag involving the appointment of Herr Hitler to the Chancellorship'; secondly, a minority Government resting on “the broad ■stream of popular support” under Herr Hitler; thirdly, a presidential Cabinet vested with extraordinary powers.
The President ’ asked General Schleicher to await the assembling of the Reichstag on January 31, but General Schleicher refused and resigned. Dr. von Papen, acting on behalf of President Hindenburg, is endeavouring to discover the political possibilities, but he is not forming a Cabinet. Discussions . between the Nazis and Nationalists have not yielded a compromise- The Centre Party is keeping aloof meanwhile and the prospect of a Papen Cabinet with dictatorial powers is alarming the Republicans.
EARLY REPORT AT LONDON. LONDON, Jan. 28. Berlin reports state that Cabinet lias resigned and that President von Hindeliburg has ieqnested Herr von Papen to endeavour to form a Government.
