NAZI VIOLENCE

“MUST BE STOPPED” HITLERS SECOND WARNING. UNAUTHORISED ACTIONS. By Telegraph—Press Assn—Copyright (Received 18, 11.30 a.m.) Berlin, March 17. The Chancellor, Herr Hitler, has issued a second and a stronger warning against continued Nazi violence. He declares that unauthorised actions must be stopped, even if the most rigorous measures have to be adopted. “Our movement must show the world how to obey,” he says. The Government is withdrawing postage stamps bearing the head of the first Socialist President, Herr Ebert, and replacing them with an issue bearing rhe heads of Frederick the Great, President Hindenburg, and other famous Germans. The Government has ordered that the cases of persons previously committed to prison for misdeeds arising from patriotic motives shall be revised and prisoners pardoned wherever possible. Meanwhile, nothing is known definitely about the thousands arrested in the past fortnight—whether they are in prisons, alive or dead. ALLEGED CONSPIRACY. (Received 18, 10.30 a.m.) Munich, March 17. The Nazi commissioner at Baden has arrested and intends publicly to execute two Social Democrats who allegedly conspired to enlist French aid and embarrass the Government by setting fire to the 1' tench Consulate at Karlsruhe. COUP D’ETAT. (Received 18. 2.30 p.m.) Berlin, March 17. Herr Hitler’s policy of obliterating Republican symbols proceeds apace. Old street names such as “Imperial Koenigplatz” have been restored and the Royal crowns have reappeared with the heads of huge eagles on Berlin bridges. The latest move suggests an impending coup d’etat to free the city of Danzig and “restore it to the German Motherland.” The anti-Semitic drive seems directed mainly against famous Jews of artistic and scientific attainments. A Jewish restaurateur, Kempinsky, forced the Nazis to cease hostilities by threatening to close all his establish, ments, thereby rendering thousands idle.

The Ministry of Economy has prohibited payments for Czecho-Slovakian imports as a reprisal on the Czechs’ order that importers of German goods must pay the price in*o a blocked account at the bank. The Czecho-Slovak crown was omitted in Berlin Stock Exchange quotations. AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION TO CONTINUE. (“Times” Cable). Berlin, Mar. 17. Captain Goering informed Stettin agriculturists that the agricultural revolution would continue until it was victorious. He added: “Settlement for the most accursed crime in German history, in November, 1918, must be accomplished. Marxism must be eradicated. We shall keep our fist at the throat of these creatures until they are done for. Foreign goods must be dislodged to enable the exclusive consumption of German products.”
