UNDER WHICH FLAG?
BERLIN CONTROVERSY TWO FLAGS MAY FLY TOGETHER By Cable.—Press Association. —Copyright Reed. 12.15 p.m. BERLIN, Tuesday. By the Defence Minister’s order, members of armed forces must not fly the Imperial Flag unless the Republican black, red and gold flag is flown alongside. This, following on the Prussian Government’s order that every public building must fly the Republican Flag on Constitution Day has revived the flag controversy which caused Dr. Luther’s downfall last year. The municipality has added fuel to the flames by ordering the civic authorities to boycott hotels refusing to fly the Republican flag. This has resulted in the Ober burgemaster declining invitations to dinners. The Nationalists’ resentment at Gessler’s order is only reduced by the knowledge that President Hindenburg desires a settlement. The only solution to the problem appears to be in flying both flags together.—A. and N.Z.
