With the approval of President Paul von Hindenburg, three emer gency decrees were issued by Chan cellor von Papen. One of these extended the politi cal truce to September 1. Another set up heavy penalties, including sen tence of death, for act3 of terrorism.

Before the decrees were Issued Chancellor von Papen, who had hoped that the disorders would cease with the reichstag elections July 31, de clared that "our author. ty must be wit Ided brutally."
