It is generally recognized that the tension between Schacht and thc Nazi Party has reached the breaking point and that Schacht wotild cither have to resign or bow to, the Nazi Party Goering'a chief function In his new post will be to straighten out difficul¬ ties between, Schacht and the Nazis. Close observers of political condi¬ tions here regard thtS appointment of Goering as the virtual number 2 man the Nazi setup as the most astute pohtical maneuver of Hitler and as the beginning of a skillful campaign to discredit Goering.. It is said that General Goering, in hife new and more powerful position, will find himself between the deyil and the deep sea Should Schacht succeed -M curbing Goering and should Sbhacht's policies not bring the anticipated. advantages he would-involve Goeting in his own debacle. On the .othbr hand should Goering buck Schacht and take the responsibility for piloting the rather hopeless, cause of German finance he would still leave hiniself * open to a political comedown In all this Hitler has very cleverly taken a seat on the fence, watching the Schacht-Goering- Nazi Parly battle royal.

BERLIN (WNS)—TIic long ex¬ pected .showdown between Dr. Hjal- mar Schacht, finance minister, and Nazi officialdom, bccanic an accom¬ plished fact with the appointment; of General Hermann Wilhclm Goering, Premier of Prussia, as, director of German economic and fiscal policies. It is generally recognized that the tension between Schacht and thc Nazi Party has reached the breaking point and that Schacht wotild cither have to resign or bow to, the Nazi Party Goering'a chief function In his new post will be to straighten out difficul¬ ties between, Schacht and the Nazis.
Close observers of political condi¬ tions here regard thtS appointment of Goering as the virtual number 2 man the Nazi setup as the most astute pohtical maneuver of Hitler and as the beginning of a skillful campaign to discredit Goering.. It is said that General Goering, in hife new and more powerful position, will find himself between the deyil and the deep sea Should Schacht succeed -M curbing Goering and should Sbhacht's policies not bring the anticipated. advantages he would-involve Goeting in his own debacle. On the .othbr hand should Goering buck Schacht and take the responsibility for piloting the rather hopeless, cause of German finance he would still leave hiniself * open to a political comedown In all this Hitler has very cleverly taken a seat on the fence, watching the Schacht-Goering- Nazi Parly battle royal.
