The new elections in Germany will be held exclusively on the basis of the disarmament question and will not have a domestic aspect, the liberal press here points out in dispatches from Berlin. It will not affect the Jewish question, which is considered an internal matter, these papers hold.
The Nazi regime, from the internal viewpoint, has been unpopular in Germany lately, and Hitler hopes to regain the national confidence on the issue of disarmament. In this, they predict, he will undoubtedly be supported by an overwhelming majority.
The result of the election, as it is seen here by the press, will be that Hitler will receive a blank check from the German people and that his regime, the existence of which was in danger of collapse owing to its unpopularity in its domestic policy, will now receive a new lease on life.
