GERMAN CABINET

VICE-CHANCELLOR IN REVOLT DECLARES NAZI ENTHUSIASM IS DECLINING Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, June 19. (Received June 20, at 9.15 a.m.) The Berlin correspondent of ‘ The Times’ says: “There is a storm in the Cabinet following Herr Von Papen’s speech at Marburg University, in which he declared that enthusiasm for the Nazi regime was declining. He also attack' the Government’s campaign against carpers and critics, declaring that the Government ought to be strong enough to stand decent criticism. The speech was partially suppressed by the newspapers. He added that patriots should not bo branded as enemies of the State. The German people knew that the situation was serious, and they knew of the existence of an economic crisis. They had an acute sense of the injustice of violence, and smiled over the indiscreet attempts to deceive them by falsification.”—London ‘ Times ’ Cable. EXTREME NAZI VIEWPOINT BERLIN, June 19, (Received June 20, at 10.30 a.m.) Dr Rosenberg, writing to the chief Nazi newspaper, refers to the Von Papen crisis. He says: “The State must now examine every Nazi and force him to be either a highly-qualified member of the party or resign.” MAY FOLLOW VON PAPEN BERLIN, June 19. (Received June 20, at 10.15 a.m.) It is understood that if Herr Von Papen resigns he will probably be followed by Herr Von Neurath and Count Von Krosigk, who are both non-Nazis. [Herr Von Neurath and Count Von Krosigk hold the portfolios of Foreign Affairs and Finance respectively. Dr Rosenberg, German publicist, went to London at the outset of the Hitler regimes on a mission to commend Nazism to Englishmen, iwhich was signally unsuccessful.]

CRISIS AVERTED BERLIN, June 19. (Received June 20, at 12.30 p.m.) A Cabinet crisis was averted following a discussion, between Herr Hitler and Herr Von Papen, the latter agreeing that his speech was unsuitable for general publication.
