I, therefore, proposed to the Reich's
President to lay this policy of the

nation will unanimously rally behind
confession of political faith and a de-
cision that springs equally from a love
for our people and respect for her
honor, and from the conviction that
the goal of world peace SO necessary
for all can be reached only If the con-
ception of the victor and the van
quished is supplanted by just applt-
cation of the same vital right for all"
(Signed) adolf HITLER"
Concerning Germany's unwillingness
to continue in the arms parley,
spokesman said:
1.-The terms suggested to Germany by
the other powers are SO absolutely be-
yond the possibility OF fulfillment that
there is no use whatever to continue
attendance at the World Arms Farley.
This does not mean in the least,
however. that Germany will turn
deaf ear to proposals for real peace.
On the contrary she will welcome every
SUGGESTION"
The chancellor's appeal was followed
by a declaration of the entire govern
ment to the German people in which it
was emphasized Germany was most
anxious to overcome the war psychosis.
This, the government declaration said,
should be on a basis of German equal

tinental non-aggression pacts to safe
guard Europe's peace for a long term,
serve her economic welfare and par
ticipate in general cultural recon-
struction."
The appeal emphasized that Germany
in the future will not sign treaties
which cannot be fulfilled, but "is ready
to couchsafe these justified demands of
the German nation by negotiation and
through treaties"
Text of Declaration.
The governments declaration read:
1.-The German Reich's government
and the German people are at one in
the will to conduct policy of peace,
reconciliation and international under
standing as the basis of all their deci-
sions and actions.
THE German government and the
German people therefore renounce
force as an unsuitable means for solv.
ing the existing differences within Eu-
ropes community of states.
1.-THE German government and the
German people renew their promise to
agree joyfully to every actual disarma-
ment of the world, and give assurances
of their readiness to destroy even the
last German machine gun and dismiss
the last man from the army, provided
the other nations decide likewise.
THE government and the people join
in the sincere wish to dispassionately
examine and solve by the method Of
negotiation all the existing questions,
in cooperation with the other nations,
including all our former opponents, in
the spirit of overcoming the war pSy-
Ghosts. and for final restitution OF
sincere relationships among each other"
1.-The government and the people,
therefore, declare themselves willing at
all times by the conclusion OF conti-
mental non-aggression pactS to safe
guard Europe's peace for the longest
period possible, serve its economic well
fare and participate in general cul-
tural reconstruction.
1.-The government and the people are
imbued with the same conception of
hOnOr, namely, tnaL an indispensable
moral objective precondition for any
participation of our people and its gov
ernment in international institutions
and treaties consists in vouchsafing
equality to Germany.
THE government and the people,
therefore, are united in the decision to
leave the Disarmament Conference and
resign from the League of Nations until
this actual equality is no longer with
held from our people"
