GERMAN POLITICS.
GOVERNMENT SUSTAINED,
PAYMENT OF REPARATION.
COMMUNISTS URGE DEFAULT. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received February 28. .5.5 p.m.) BERLIN. Feb. 27. The Reichstag rejected by 368 vote 3 to 75 a Communist motion to discontinue paying reparation and private foreign debts. The Nazis abstained from voting, declaring that they would support the abolition of reparation payments if a motion to that effect were submitted separately. The Bruening Cabinet continues to rule, at least until the Presidential election is over, as the result of an earlier victory in the Reichstag. Its supporters defeated a no-confidence motion jointly submitted by the Nazis, the Jvationalists, the People's Party and the Communists, by 289 votes to 265. The House unanimously agreed that the Presidential election 6hall be held on March 13, and that if nobody is elected on an absolute majority a second ballot shall be held on April 10. Loud laughter greeted the unusual spectacle of such unanimity.
Herr Dietrich, Minister of Finance, disclosed that the 1931 Budget estimates, of more than £450,000,000, had Ibeen reduced by £50,000,000. The new Budget showed further reductions.
