Dawes Plan Passes Reichstag After Tight German Vote
The Reichstag approved the Dawes plan with a substantial government majority as the Marx Stresemann coalition overcame nationalist opposition. In a dramatic display, red ballots signaled negative votes while white ballots supported the measure, with 148 against and 127 in favor, including strong Communist and Ludendorff party opposition. The result strengthens the London agreements and signals readiness to dissolve and ratify under new terms if nationalist blocks refuse concessions. The vote followed four weeks of partisan exchanges, with agrarian pressures driving reconciliation offers tied to emergency rural credits.
