Germany 1923 Then and Now Militon Bronner on a troubled republic
Milton Bronner reports from Berlin on mounting dangers in Germany as prices rise and unrest grows. He warns communists may push for a Soviet regime while monarchists seek a putsch or dictatorial rule. He cites riots in Dusseldorf Dresden and Brunswick, police weakness, and fear of a civil conflict that could jeopardize reparations. The piece notes potential shifts by Hindenburg or Ludendorff and the risk of a Kapp-style strike echoing past tensions. He interviews Eduard Bernstein who argues dangers are exaggerated and stresses the need for foreign help to stabilize food and prices. Tomorrow he promises more on German communist activity.
