Exit the Reichstag Monday's dissolution of the Reichstag was expected,
but not inevitable. If the attempted coalition between Nazis and Centre had taken a constructive turn, and sufficiently adroit Parliamentarians had framed its tactics in the Chamber, the Chancellor might have found himself hard put to it for an excuse to use the dissolution decree with which the President had armed him. As it was, given Marshal von Hindenburg's resolve to see the Government's economic reconstruction scheme put into force, a Reichstag which censored the Government that had framed the scheme clearly had to go. The President gave unmistakable signs of a disposition to move towards the Right when he forced Dr. Bruning's resignation at. the end of May, and Germany is manifestly to be governed by Presidential decree for some time to come.
