He received this offer from President von Hindenburg and representatives of the present Cabinet, the von Papen Cabinet. The story goes on to say that this was done with the consent of the Roman Catholic Center Party. The head of this party is ex-Chancellor von Bruening. As bhc* result of the elections of July 51st, the Catholic Party holds the balance of power in the H new German Parliament. The present Chancellor Franz von Papen, returned suddenly and unexpectedly to Berlin last night. ihis Is taken to mean that negotiations with the Hitlerites are getting near GERMANY 2 a dramatic stage, Herr Hitler himself spent Sunday in Berlin at the home of one of his lieutenants. General von Schleicher, the War Minister and actual head of the present German government, is keeping away from Berlin, But, the story it is imnrobable thafe he A ^ is keeping away from the long distance telephone. And jtiuufcxi? the fact that he continues his absence from the capital is taken as proof that Hitler is not yet ready to accept the Chancellor’s job which has been offered to him. The report continues that the feudal and militarist leaders of the present Government are anxious to be^sure wnywrin* that the next cabinet depends only on the will of President von Hindenburg, and not upon the mixture of tsm conflicting blocs of the thirteen parties represented in the Parliament. GBRIIAriY - 5 On the other hand, a dispatch to the Hew York ft oriel Telegram has it/cha t Adolf Hitler will be of f ered not the Chancellorship, but the position of vice-chancellor^ * At any rate.

The English newspapers were wondering whether it meant anything in the settlement ol John Bull*s .Quarrel with Ireland. Prdmier Mac­ Donald himself says there is absolutely not a word of truth in the suggestion. He adds that he went to visit t-ht? MatnQuig--andv/Mfirohlon-cco A of Londonerry at their home near Ulster merely for three or four days* complete rest. He says further that he is not concerning himself with Irish affairs either north or south. At the same time, a dispatch from Dublin to the Kansas City Journal Post reports that politicians are expecting negotiations for the settlement of this dispute to be renev/ed any moment at Ottowa. r^. t The Irish^press, announce that representatives of the Irish Free State now in Ottowa had a conference last week with Stanley Baldwin and J. H. Thomas, his Majesty^ Secretary ol State for the Dominion. Following that, SearjfatKelly, the head of the Irish Delegation at Ottowa,had a lengthy conversation with President de Valera^ ^r.4w j-. telephone. IRELAND 2 Meanwhile, as we learn from a special dispatch fisaait, the /v New York Evening Post, the Irish Free State is in a condition of virtual siege. This has been brought about through the duties levied by John Bull on agricultural produce from Ireland. This, together with the land annuity issue, has brought about the most serious situation jbtuliiu# in Ireland since the Sinn Fein ^evolution. A The duties levied by John Bull on Irish products have demoralised the live stock markets in the Free State. Dealings in dairy produce likewise have shrunk greatly. The circulation of money has been hindered. The shop-keeper and the laborer, as well as the farmer, have felt the effects of what they are describing as England1s nBig Stick". The effect oft public opinion tn Ireland Is decidedly hostile. The animosities which prevailed during the Revolution are being revived. gygjg are being focused on Ottowa. If is believed thes^nego^^tions will be among the most important to take place in Canada^ beautiful capital. OTTAWA As for the British Imperial Economic Conference in Ottawa, a new trend is visible, A dispatch to the New York Sun asserts # that Canada is about to offer John Bull additional concessions. These concessions, it is believed, will give British traders an advantage over all non-British competitors for Canadafs trade.
