MILDER REGIME
BEGUN IN GERMANY DECREE CANCELLATION. Press Association Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received Thursday, 5.45 a.m.) BERLIN, Wednesday. General von Schleicher’s effort to inaugurate a milder regime in Germany has begun by the publication of a. presidential decree cancelling most of the von Papon Government’s repressive political measures. It is officially explained that the cancellation is due to the visible quietening of political passions, and the public are recommended to settle their political differences in a manner worthy of civilised people. PRISONERS TO BE RELEASED. (Received Thursday, 11.50 a.m.) BERLIN, Wednesday. About 15,000 political and other prisoners will be released at Christmas time under the Amnesty Bill, which passed the Reichstag by a single vote. Any attempt to keep Nazis, Socialist or Communist prisoners in the cells over the holidays would have led to a meeting of the Reichstag and a Christmas crisis.—Times.
