Hfiirich Bruening and the members I
c-tuti cabinet resigned today, and the
mifnations were accepted by Presi
d«nt Paul von Hindenburg.
For more ttia- two years, two of
the most critical years in Germany's
history. Chancellor Bruening fought
hu wav through a series of crlsee t
tbit would have unseated many an
other premier.
Prseident eon Hindenburg announc-1
ed that he intended to follow regular i
parliamentary procedure In forming
a new cabinet. This means that he
will first summon Paul Loebe. speak- j

strength
I* w *-t semiofficially announced j
that no personal differences existed
be'ween the president and Dr. Bruen
ing. and that the old field marshal
would write the retiring chancellor a
letter expressing his appreciation and
affection.
During his stay in East Prussia,
from which he just returned, the J
piwident was so beset by friends who I
supported him in 1925, and who ob-1
jec*»d to the CHbinet plans for divid
ing Junkers' estates to make room for
*mall farms, that he felt he could not
sign emergency decrees making those
tplans effective
It abo was reported that he ob
jected to provisions in proposed em
♦tgency decrees which would have
Frovided for further sacrifices in the 1
fotm of "tax on persons employed" ;

Sales Tax
Washington, May 30. —(API—For
the second time in ten days President
Hoover and Senator Borah, of Idaho,
dry champion, today discussed the
subject of a prohibition plank in the
Republican platform. but whether
they came any closer to an agree
ment was not made known.
The impending sales tax dispute in
the Senate also was given some at
tention at a White House breakfast
conference between the President and
his leading campaigner in 1928
Senator Borah ’indicated afterwards
that he had not changed his plan
to remain away from the Chicago
convention.
The Senator has drafted his own
orohibitlon plank, but is closely guard
ing Its text. He shaped the rigid en
forcement plank of 1928 and Is known
to hold the view that the only true
referendum on prohibition or any
other subject is by the election of
members of Congress to carry out
the will of the electorate.
The Idahoan and Mr. Hoover have
been at odds on almost every major
issue in this administration, and there
has been considerable speculation
whether Borah will be found on the
hustings in the coming campaign as
in 1928.
