Br Associated Press. BERLIN, December 25.—President Ebert's confirmation of Dr. Hjalmar | Schacht as president of the Reichs- bank to succeed the late Rudolph Iavensteln is being violently op- posed by the nationalistic newspapers. which are chagrined over the failure ot Dr. Karl Helfferich, former secre- tary of the imveriz] treasury, to ob- tain the coveted post. The newspapers now charge that Dr. Schacht's selec- tion constitutes an outspoken politi- cal appointment which is in contra- vention of the Reichsbank's autono- mous character. The new incumbent, however, meets Wwith a friendly reception by the financial writers, who point out that lis advent at the head of the semi- official institution indicates a break with the traditional procedure by which presidents of the reichsbank formerly invariably were sought Among the bureaucracy.
