Hitlerism is responsible for the financial crisis in Germany, the German Federal Minister of Finance, Dr. Dietrich, declared to-day at a demonstration of the Democratic State Party held at Dresden. When the Hitlerists obtained their big victory in the Parliamentary elections of September 14th., returning 107 Deputies to Parliament, he explained, people were afraid of what was going to happen. A milliard Marks were withdrawn in consequence from the Reichsbank and two milliards were withdrawn from other German banks, causing enormous damage to the economic life of the country.
