BY DR. RICHARD VON KUHLMANN, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs for Germany. NEW YORK, April 13 (NANA)— The policy of Paul von Hindenburg, President of the German Republic, has | been approved by an overwhelming ma- | Jority of the German people. The in- crease of 700,000 votes in the second | round of the election over what he polled on March 13 is rem rkable While Adolf Hitler's vote increased | 2,000,000, it is obvious that he did not draw any votes away from Hindenburg | in the second round and that his in- | crease came fairly equally from Steel | Helmet and Communist voters. | The result is a splendid victory for | the hero of Tannenberg and Masuren and ls a great political success for the ghancellor, Heinrich Bruening. | In reality there was no fundamental | opposition of those who style themselves the German National Opposition against Hindenburg himself. This was clearly demonstrated when at the eleventh hour Hugenberg offered pointblank to re-clect Hindenburg by all_the combined votes of the reactionary Right, provided Hin- denburg agreed to dismiss Chancellor Bruening. | Hindenburg Rejects Move. Tt was only when Hindenburg had Prmly and coolly declared he would not | geparate himself from the man who has had his special confidence as an officer ‘ during the war and who had steered successfully the ship of the German | state through the shoals of two most | terrible vears that FHugenberg turned | his whole force against Hindenburgs‘ -election. | NTI‘,F overwhelming victory of the field marshal is a broad placet of the Ger- man people, both for the economic pol- icv pursued so far, balancing the budget | at any price, even at the price of un- | heard-of suffering and following in for- | eign affairs a line of caution, but at the game time of close co-operation with the | great powers of the world. - | That it is the bulk of working Ger- many that has by its votes approved and strengthened this policy of conservative caution, that it 18 in the main the bulk of working Germany which could over- come short-sighted class interest to the point of; giving its votes to the former Emperor's great general, a junker by birth and tradition, is a great symbol that the leading forces, old and new, of Germany combine in the hour of need for the greatest of the country, and, seen in that light, Hindenburg's success is indeed one of the most hopeful signs in Germany's modern development. Vietory for Bruening. | The election is a great personal suc- vess for Heinrich Bruening. He has | for the first time in his career allowed | his concentzated and magnetic person- ality to act in full view of the masses | of the Cerman public.

PThe attitude of the Comyunists throws a curlous sidelight on the €eeper thoughts of the party. Though there could hardly be a Sunday without an- nouncements of bloody battles between Hitlerites and Communists, it was known to the insiders that. Commu- nistic _headquarters have never been | snti-Hitler. Their shrewd and far-| sighted calculation is that this party, | with no real coherance, just a mass of people carried away by ‘emotions, would | reak at the first contact with political | Tealities, and that a large number of those who today follow Adolf Hitler would eventually come to swell Commu- mistic ranks 1t is pursuant to such thoughts that Communists have been encouraged to wote for Hitler. Communists on orders | emanating from Moscow will always vote for what is likely to increase fric- tion, anarchy and disorder Local Elections Due. April 24 will be another important day in Germen history. The local parlia- ments of some of the largest German sta of Prussia, Bavaria, Wurttem- berg and Hamburg have reached their Jegally fixed time limit and must be re- elected. Altogether that means that certainly 75 or 80 per cent of German citizens will have to re-elect their local governments With Prussia alone representing two- thirds of Germany. the composition of the Prussian Diet will be of paramount importance. Prussia, it may be remembered, has ever since the revolution been firml guietly and very successfully ruled by coalition between Social Democrats, | Catholic Center and some democratic | elements of the bourgeols parties under Prime Minister Braum.
