Abstract

The German Crisis
Niebuhr, Reinhold | October 1, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The German crisis which necessitated the election was caused by the fact that the Socialists and the various bourgeois parties of the middle were no longer able to continue the cooperation. A survey of the parties of the middle will reveal that they have not only been weakened in strength and prestige but are almost without exception less liberal than they were in 1928. The Democratic Party, which has, next to the Socialist Party, been most faithful to the policies of' republicanism and international conciliation, has been steadily losing in strength, since its great achievements in helping to frame the Weimar Constitution first gave it a claim upon popular favor.
