CABINET STORM

NAZI REGIME ASSAILED SPEECH BY HERR VON PAPEN (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, June 10. The Berlin correspondent of The Times says; “ There is a storm in the Cabinet following Herr von Papeu’s speech at Marburg University, in which he declared that enthusiasm for the Nazi regime was declining. He also attacked the Government’s campaign against carpers and critics, declaring that the Government ought to be strong enough to stand decent criticism. The speech was partially suppressed by the newspapers. He added that patriots should uot be branded as enemies of the State. The German people knew that the situation was serious, and they knew of the existence of an economic crisis. They had an acute sense of the injustice of violence, and smiled over the indiscreet attempts to deceive them by falsification.”—Times Cable.

Herr 'von Neurath and Count von Krosigk hold the portfolios of Foreign Affairs and Finance Dr Rosenberg, German publicist, went to London at the outset of the Hitler regime on a mission to commend Nazism to Englishmen, which was signally unsuccessful.
