It also, by 323 votes to 236, passed a Government motion shelving Bills demanding the immediate revision of the Young Plan, the cessation of the reparation payments, and the revision of the Treaty of Versailles, and by 323 votes to 230 shelved an opposition motion for the abolition of President Hindenburg’s decree empowering the Government to declare a dictatorship. Uproarious scenes occurred when it was clear that the Social Democrats were voting for the Government. The National Socialists, or Nazis, as they now are called, cried; “Wake up, Germany!” The Reichstag, by 325 votes to 237, finally approved of the loan of 264 millions -sterling granted by international bankers, known as the carry-over loan. During the debate, the ex-Soeialist Chancellor, Herr Muller, declared that be expected the reparations burden to be diminished in accordance with the German economic distress.

The National Socialist, Herr Strasser, said: “We do not want persecution of the Jews, but demand their exclusion from German life. We are not afraid of war if it is the last means of gaining German independence and social freedom.” HITLERITES’ CAMPAIGN.
