Herr Doktor von Kahr, the Bavarian Dictator, was able to consolidate considerably his position and secured much popularity among the workers by reducing the price of beer by 20%.

Politically Hitler believes in the restoration of the head of the Hohenzollern dynasty as King of Prussia and Emperor of Germany, of the Wittelsbach dynasty as King of Bavaria. He is Anti-Secessionist, but wants Austria incorporated into the German Reich and a close alliance made with Hungary. Although Hitler has backed down in face of the opposition shown him by Dr. von Kahr, he will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in Bavaria, because...
