There is no longer any danger of civil war in Germany, the Fedcral Minister of the Interior, Dr. Wirth, one of the leaders of the Catholic Party, declared in the Peichstag to-day. I have discussed the situation with Herr Severing, the Minister of the Interior in Prussia, and with the Ministers of the Interior in Prussia, and in Saden, he stated, and I am able to say definitely now that we have taken measures sufficient to enable the authorities to put down easily any attempt at a Hitlerist rising.
The Pruasian Minister of the Interior, Rerr Severing, the a whom Hitler fears most, as he is known in Germany, and who was recalled to his old post as Minister of the Interior after the Hitlerist victory in September in order to take charge of the Republican campaign against the Hitlerists, declared similarly at the annual meeting of the chiefs of the various provincial districts of Prussia held a few weeks ago in Berlin (reported in the J.T.A. Bulletin of February 21st.) that there is no longer any need for anxiety concerning the political situation, because the Hitlerist danger is over. The Hitlerist front, he said, has now been driven to take the defensive.
