Freiburg, Germany: Foreign Minister Julius Curtius, in a campaign speech of his own, rebuts recent comments made by Minister of Occupied Territories Gottfried Treviranus. “Election time is a trying time for foreign ministers. The campaign requirements of parties and the party speakers confuse the country’s foreign policy and give a distorted picture of Germany abroad. The government continues along the lines laid down by Dr. Stresseman [former Foreign Minister]. The Reich simply is adapting his principles to changing conditions.” He asks for “discipline regarding campaign utterances on Germany’s foreign policy.”’
Berlin: Chancellor Heinrich Bruening, who has been
running the country without the Reichstag since its dissolution last month,
releases a communique containing an outline of plans to reform the country’s
finances. Critics immediately call it
light on specifics and vague on the most pressing issues, such as the
government’s deficit. With elections now
only a couple of weeks away, observers say Bruening doesn’t want to communicate
anything that might hurt his party’s chances.
