May 6, 1925 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on Paul Von Beneckendorf und Hindenburg, the second President of the German Republic. Hindenburg is seventy-seven but he lacks alert mind and restless energy. The German President has less power than the U.S. President although with a sympathetic Cabinet he can do much under the emergency provisions of the constitution. Upon international relations the effect of Hindenburg's election is sure to be unfortunate. The question of the effect upon foreign nations played an unfortunate part in the German election. His opponents stressed foreign opinion; they insisted that Hindenburg's election would mean a veto upon further American credits.
