...last ministry on this slate is wholly new, created by Chancellor von Schleicher especially to appease the Reichstag and the populace. Germany's 5,000,000 proletarian unemployed and the uncounted German farmers who need relief will be pleased-General von Schleicher hoped- to have for the first time a minister directly representing them in the Cabinet. Their minister, leather-lunged Dr. Günther Gereke, has been shouting up & down the land for years various proposals for ending unemployment which he calls collectively "The Gereke Plan."

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."

Nobody Starves is a painstaking, truthful-sounding case history...
...echo a "labor intellectual," Sir Charles Philips Trevelyan (onetime President of the Board of Education) who proposed to block the possibility that men like Arthur Henderson (onetime Foreign Secretary) may ever again enter a Cabinet and neglect to fight from the Government bench for "Socialism in our time!" Amid proletarian pandemonium, intellectual Sir Charles moved this resolution: "On assuming office, with or without power, definite Socialist legislation must immediately be promulgated by the next Labor Government and the party shall stand or fall in the House of Commons on the principles in which it has faith." "You will tie your...
