Chancellor Bruning operates his Dictatorship under the cloak of Constitutional Government by the device of having the Reichstag meet every six months or so, rush through a vote of confidence, then immediately adjourn, leaving Herr Bruning to rule by decree.

With him in his thundering Mercedes-Benz bounced Dr. Alfred Hugenberg, "Hearst of Germany.'' "the little man in blue" who leads a right faction of 41 Reichstag Deputies. Herr Hitler leads 107. Also represented at Bad Harzburg, where Hitler drums rumbled and Hitler songs rang through the leafy forest, was the Peasant's League of 19 Deputies.
