Germany Hasty efforts are being made in Germany to recon-
struct the parties before the General Election. The moderate Conservatives are trying to get together in a strong party. The Land Union is trying to form an agrarian party called Landvolk Partei,. to be led by Herr Schiele, the Minister of Agriculture. Herr Hugen- berg is losing control of Isis followers ; he is suffering for the mistakes which we recorded last week. As a correspondent in Germany has pointed out to us, lie is not the leader of Herr Hitler's National Socialists, as might have been understood from our " telescopic " mention of his leading the temporary alliance of his Deutsche Nationale Volkspartei with the Socialists. Members of the Democratic and the People's parties hope to form a " State " party which would follow the principles of Hcrr Stresemann's policy. Meanwhile the President, as was expected, has enacted by decree the taxation proposed in the Budget.
