Thus the tall and spare soldier % vith close-cropped hair and mous- tache and jovial smile but will of iron, who has been the strong man behind the scenes in German poli- tics for some years, would become the nominal as well as the actual head of the German government. Political developments of the past few days have narrowed President von Hindenburg’s choice down to von Schleicher. The administration of von Schleicher would, it is believed, amount to a virtual military dic- tatorship with a general tendency towards the restoration of the monarchy in Germany. The “iron chancellor” would, it is expected, choose for his cabinet almost the same personnel as that of von Pa- pen with the exception of one or two conflicting elements. the United States.
