They were all dismissed and German businessmen were heartened by a statement from Herr Gottfried Feder, famed "Ideologist" of the Nazi Party, who was appointed fortnight ago to a dominant post in the Ministry of Economics.

...Strasser the Reich Minister of Interior if Herr Hitler would consent, that Leader Hitler had refused to let any Fascist enter a Cabinet until he, Hitler, should be Chancellor and that Herr Strasser, disgusted by this stand, had made his feelings known in the only way he could. Herr Feder and about 50 of the Party's 195 Reichstag Deputies were said to support Herr Strasser, arguing that it is madness to deny job-hungry Fascists government jobs...
