President Hindenburg has gone to a most unexpected quarter for his successor to Dr. Bruening. The aged President has charged Herr von Papen, who belongs to the Right Wing of the Centre Party to form a Cabinet.
Herr von Papen has been asked to form a "concentration cabinet," which means that the members will be drawn from all parties prepared to support him.
