Berlin: The country continues observing the 11th anniversary of the Weimar Republic, with a fete at the Reichstag in which Joseph Wirth, former Chancellor, hails democracy as the only feasible option for Germany, and urges young people to avoid extremism. President Paul von Hindenburg also speaks, noting that the economic depression is “the foremost internal problem confronting us.”
