GERMANY WILL ARM
A THREAT TO FRANCE SCHLEICHER BROADCASTS FAILURE OF DISARMAMENT L>y Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright) Received July 27, 9.50 p.m. BERLIN, July 27. That Germany would arm to the level of her neighbours if they refused to disarm to her’s, was threatened by General Behjeicher, broadcasting for the German people. He cited the *‘catastrophic failure” of the Disarmament Conference and the insecurity of Germany. He accused France of hypocrisy because she was" aware that the German forces were unarmed and could not oppose a single French division, still less the frontier fortresses. The German Army was barely capable of protecting her own frontiers. The only alternative was for Germany to reorganise her army, which would be done. HITLERITE “PUTSCH” GOVERNMENT’S WARNING Received July 27, 9.30 p.m. BERLIN, July 27. Though they dislike some of his aims, 51 university professors have published a manifesto supporting Herr Hitler’s policy of fighting the influence of foreign races, restriction of egoism in all fields, and a determination to deliver Germany from the materialistic shackles imposed by international finance. They expect Herr Hitler to purify the public life and achieve the salvation of the German people.
The Hitlerites have made great preparations to ensure the success of a meeting Hitler is addressing to-day. A concentration of Hitler’s storm detachments has led to a revival of fears of an attempted “putsch.” The story goes that if the polling results known late on Sunday show that the Hitler ites are likely to obtain 50 per cent, of the votes, a revolt may be attempted during the early hours of Monday with a view to making Hitler Chancellor. The Reich Government, however, has issued a statement that if the putsch is attempted, all forces will be used to defeat the adventure. Well-informed circles believe that General will order the Reichswehr spldiers to shoot and they will obey.
The Allgemeinc Zeitung forsees a new Government under Herr von Papon and including representatives of the Hitlerites.
