Test. The states of Bavaria and Baden and the ousted Cabinet of Prussia all introduced suits in the German Supreme Court at Leipzig last week challenging the legality of the Schleicher von Papen putsch under the German Constitution.

Hitlerites had uniforms, brass bands, roaring mass meetings, plenty of free beer. In 1930 when Germany had over 3,000,000 unemployed, Hitler had 6,000,000 followers and with 107 delegates controlled the Reichstag's second-largest party...

While the London conference was still in progress, Nationalists streamed into a Berlin hall to hear inflammatory speeches by Deputy Paul Bang (Finance Minister in the brief sinister Kapp "Putsch" government) and Alfred Hugenberg's disciple, Fritz Kleiner.
