SILENT ON GERMAN RESULT
---------
M
V. S. Official» Give No Formal Opinion
Other* Differ Widely.
Washington. D. C. The decisive vic
tory of Field Marshal von Hindenburg
in Germany’s first election of a presi-
dent by popular vote was the dominat
ing topic of discussion Monday
throughout Washington official life.
Views expressed as to the significance
to be attached to the action ot the
German people in having conferred
the presidency upon their national war
hero, ranged from the extreme French
attitude that it was the unmasking of
militarism in Germany, to the German
construction that it was a decisive
defeat for communism rather than a
victory for the reactionary political
faction.
Between these two extremes lay the
views of British. Italian and Ameri
can observers with the impression
among them that a month or two must
elapse after the inauguration of the
presidentelect before it will be pos
sible to forecast accurately the effect
of his election upon Europe's already
complicated political and economic
problems.
American opinion with relation to
the German election continued for the
most part to be closely screened be
hind the policy of silence that has
been observed by Washington officials
throughout. No word bearing any re
semblance to formal comment was
available from any official or even
diplomatic quarter. Despite these re
strictions. however, it was possible to
form accurate impressions as to how
the election was viewed in each na
tional circle in Washington.
Treasury officials saw no economic
threat in the election result, viewing
the choice of Von Hindenburg as
representing a reaction and therefore
as indicating a tendency toward con
servatism among the majority of the
German people.
The French view is frankly pes
simistic. It holds that in rolling up
a decisive majority for the field mar 1
shal. the German people have thrown
aside any intent to conceal what the
French regard as their basic desire
that Germany be restored to a condi
tion of the military power that would
permit enforcement of its will upon
other continental nations. The elec
tion was construed as justifying all of
the doubts France has entertained as
to the purposes and ambitions of her
German neighbors and to prove that
the drastic military precautions and
measures she has urged since the sign
ing of the armistice against the more
moderate judgment ot her allies were
fully warranted.

Berlin. — The people of Germany
have rallied to the banner ot Field
Marshal von Hindenburg and elected
hint president of the republic. He la
the first president of Germany to be
elected by popular ballot. He was
nominated by the nationalist-conserva
tive bloc to replace Dr. Karl Jarres,
who tailed ot election in the first
balloting on March 29.
His opponent was Dr. Wilhelm
Marx, candidate ot the republican
bloc, adherents ot the Weimar coal
ition, composed ot centrists, socialists
and democrats. The third candidate
was Ernest Thaeltnann, communist.
Von Hindenburg triumphed in his
race for the presidency with a plural
ity close to 815.000.
The official provisional figures of
the presidential election follow:
Von Hjndenburg. 14.639.399; Marx.

Thaelmann.
1.931.591.
Votes declared invalid, 21,910. Total,
30,345540.
Von Hindenburg comes to the chair
once occupied by Friedrich Ebert who
was chosen president by the national
assembly at Weimar In February,
1919, and who died in Berlin in Feb-
ruary, 1925.

public as standard-bearer ot the na
tionalist parties, as they are reveal
ed in his autobiography, “Aus Meinem
Leben,” published in 1920, and of the
autobiography, "Feldmars Chall Von
Hindenburg,” written by his brother
Bernhard and published in 1916.
One is taken back to the days when
Germany still believed in the divine
rights of kings, when the profession
of arms was the most sacred of call
ings, and when the German para
phrase of "My country, right or
wrong,” had not yet given place to
the motto "My country, when right to
be kept right, when wrong to be set
right.”
But in later years, and particularly
since entering upon the campaign
which has had as its outcome his
elevation to the presidency, the field
marshal ,has included in bis ideals
unity of the German people, peace and
good will towards all humanity and
still a place in the sun for the father-
land.

rpHE fact that this name Is derived
