Notice of
Intention.
ALLIES STAND
CALLED UNJUST
Germany Unwilling
to Garry On as Sec
Ond-Class Nation.
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, October 14.-Ger-
many, declaring inability as a
"second-class nation" to longer
participate in disarmament ne
gotiations which thereby could
only lead to new Dictates" today
bluntly gave notice of withdrawal
from both the League of Nations
and the arms parley.
The German stand was made
plain both in an appeal to the
German people by Chancellor
Adolf Hitler and by another is
sued by the government. Both
minced no words in expressing
dissatisfaction with the unwilling
ness of the other powers to give
Germany the arms equality
promised at Geneva last Decem-
p Der.
"As the Reich's government
sees in this manner of procedure
a discrimination against the
German people, as unjust as it is
humiliating," said the chan
cellor's declaration, 'it deems it
self unable under the circum-
stances as a second-class nation
deprived of the rights to continue
to participate in the negotiations
which thereby could only lead to
new dictates.
Notice Sent to Geneva.
The chancellor's appeal spoke OF the
other nations demands as "huniliatlng
and dishonoring," but again expressed
the German nations "unshakable Will
to peace" A government spokesman
meanwhile hastened to add that "leaV-
ing the Arms Conference in nowlse
means Germany intends to disregard
the treaties"
Notice of the German intention to
withdraw from the arms parley was
telegraphed to Arthur Henderson, the
president of the assembly at Geneva,
by Foreign Minister Konstantin von
Neurath.
The last discussions of the parti-
cipating powers anent disarmament"
the foreign minister's message said,
shave proved conclusively that the Arms
Conference will not fulfill the sole task
Nf 6rty 1ryiv1 q q L.
nent.
AT the same time it is certain that
the failure of the Arms Conference is
due solely to the lack of the will on the
part of the highly-armed states now to
make good their obligation to disarm,
as laid down IN treaty.
Thereby, the realization Of Ger
manys acknowledged claim to equality
has been rendered impossible. and the
condition under which Germany, the
beginning of this year, declared its will
ingness again to participate in the con-
ference's work has been eliminated"
Text of Hitler Appeal
The text of the Hitler appeal follows:
FILLED with an honest desire to carry
through the work of the peaceful inter-
nal reconstruction of our people and
its political and economic life. the
former German governments declare
themselves ready, trusting they would
be conceded an equality worthy OF Ger
many, to enter the League of Nations
to participate in the Disarmament Con-
ference.
Therein Germany was bitterly dis
appointed despite all readiness to pursue
the disarmament which we were the
drst to execute, if necessary to its very
last consequences, the other governments
could not bring themselves to make good
the assurances signed by them in the
peace treaty.
Through the conscious denial to
Germany of real moral and objective
equality, the German people and their
government were again Inundated.
After the Reich'S government, in
consequence of the German equality
vouchsafed to it December II, 1882,
again declared itself ready to participate
in the discussions of the Disarmament
Conference, the official representatives
of the other states now have informed
the Reich'S foreign minister and our
delegates in public speeches and direct
declaration that this equality for the
time being can no longer be conceded
to the preSentday German.
"As the Reich's government sees in

unable under the circumstances as a
second-class nation deprived of the

negotiations which thereby could only
lead to new dictates"
"In again expressing its unshakable
will to peace, the German government
declares in view Of these humiliatins
