"Biggest Graft Case"

Herr Rudolf Hilferding, Finance Minister, delved into the accounts of his predecessor, Dr. Andreas Hermes. He informed Chancellor Stresemann that he had discovered evidence of " the biggest graft case in Germany's political history." Herr Stresemann decided to have the former Finance Minister arrested. It is expected-- perhaps in vain--that Herr Hugo Stinnes' financial peregrinations will be exposed.
