German Cabinet Formed Along Party Lines
Berlin 14 The new German cabinet is built strictly on party lines and is considered weaker than the prior nonpartisan ministry it replaces. Dr Rudolf Hilferding, Austrian born and naturalized German, becomes finance minister and is a physician turned theoretic socialist and former editor of Die Freiheit. General Grovner departs as transport minister, replaced by Herr Ceser, with preservation of a reform agenda for railway revival amid financial strain. The cabinet signals a belief in pursuing some form of rapprochement with Poincaré and wary hopes for broader intervention from others.
