Exit Bruening.

“The Reich Administration is controlled by men of the Right for the first time since the German Revolution,” said the cablegrams of 2nd June. When Dr. Bruening tendered his resignation of the Chancellorship to President Hindenburg (whose only response is said to have been that he expected it), the world was in for a double surprise, for not only did a tried man go down, but one who seems to be utterly untried went up. The President's selection was Dr. Von Papen, the German military attache at Washington in 1914, a plotter who (says the “Daily Telegraph”) “continually violated United States neutrality.” But much water has flowed since then. Hindenburg, says one critic, was made President by the monarchists and consolidated the Republic. He was then made President by the Republicans, and now—the Right is in power!
