...keep on good or at least civil terms with Germans of every party except the Communists. This genius was amazingly shown last week when General von Schleicher barely failed to induce Adolf Hitler to confer with him-the only logical subject of conversation being terms on which the Nazi (Fascist) Party might agree to support the von Schleicher Cabinet...
Leader Hitler actually left his famed "Brown House" headquarters in Munich and went to bed on a Schlafwagen (sleeper) bound for Berlin. In the dead of night he exchanged telegrams with two most militant Fascists, Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Party chieftain in Berlin, and mighty-midriffed Hermann Göring, Speaker of the Reichstag, who induced him to leave his train at dawn, meet them in Weimar. Apparently they told Leader Hitler, somewhat of a waverer despite his bombast, that the Fascist Party must stick by its announced resolve to fight any Cabinet not headed by Hitler. Soon Fascist headquarters...
...Hindenburg-Hitler negotiations which began with their "extraordinarily cordial meeting" fortnight ago continued last week through an exchange of formal letters which Berlin wits dubbed "the game of questions & answers." With each exchange it became clearer that the President, though he had commissioned Fascist Hitler to try to form a Cabinet with a parliamentary majority, was not anxious that he should succeed. Herr Hitler drew from Old Paul what amounted to a stipulation that the President would not appoint him Chancellor unless he could obtain a "safe majority" in the Reichstag for a Cabinet pledged to continue all the policies...
Leaks from the Nazi camp indicated that Leader Hitler tried to persuade the President to accept him as Chancellor chiefly by arguing that the Fascist party is now Germany's "sole bulwark against proletarianism." This argument, not mere Hitler claptrap, had strong elements of fact. Earlier in the week Dr. Paul Lobe, long considered a most moderate Socialist, Speaker of the Reichstag, with one short interlude, for twelve years (1920-32), made a pivotal speech. Seconded by other Socialist leaders, he called on the Socialist Party (Germany's second largest) to unite with the Communist Party (third largest...
...Government circles reports that General-leutnant Kurt von Schleicher had secretly conferred a second time with Leader Hitler were not denied. President von Hindenburg asked Herr Hitler to report to him a day earlier than had been planned. They talked for 15 minutes and the President officially authorized the Fascist leader to try to form a Cabinet as Chancellor, but on "seven conditions" which were not made public. For the first time in his blatant, meteoric career Adolf Hitler was "getting warm." Stocks on the Berlin exchange, which eased when the von Papen Cabinet resigned, firmed again and began...
