Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party, who has been appointed by the Hitlerist Minister of the Interior in Brunswick as Commercial attache to the Brunswick Legation in Berlin, to enable him to acquire German citizenship and thus be eligible as a candidate in the presidential elections next month, took the oath of loyalty to the German Republic to-day in the Brunswick Legation, on assuming his official duties, swearing to uphold its Constitution and obey its laws.
The same day the Berlin police disciplinary court, police officials who are members of the Nazi Party, ruled that since the Nazi Party is an organisation aiming at the violent overthrow of the State, it is impossible for members of the Nazi Party to be loyal officers of the State, and ordered all police officers who are members of the Nazi Party to be dismissed the service.
The Reichstag also decided to-day by a vote of 226 against 173 to reimpose the ban against members of the Nazi Party being admitted to the Reichswehr, which General Groener, the Minister of Defence, removed redently, by refusing to ratify General Groener’s order to this effect.
