Copyright, 1888, by United Press) Berlin, June 26-UP)-Adolf Hitler. in an exclusive interview with the United Press. to-day said 'the German people must solve their own problems themselves and according to their own meth ods.''
 This will be understood. he said. when 1t is realized abroad that the whole German nation is behind me"
 Hitler made this utterance fin . special message to the people of the United States, through the United Press.
 The German chancellor, wield- ing more power over this country than any chancellor since Bis- marck, received me in the richly panelled but simply furnished pri- vate office of the chancellory. In doom of parliamentary goverri- ment.
 The chancelior's first appeal was for understandings doing away with prejudice against him. self and his country. His second was for world realization that the German people "are solidly back of my regime, and that the power I wieId has been legally acquired" T ask the thoughtful people of America" he said. "to weigh this regime in the balance only with authentic information, and not to forget that no American govern ment ever had more loyal and united support than I have to- day" The chancellor appeared physi- cally alert and remarkably fit. His face was bronzed, and his clear, bright blue eyes were his outstand- ing feature.
 Hitler met me in the private of- flee of the chancellory. and at once led the way to small conference table. It was an impressive back ground for our conversation. The highly polished. walnut panelled walls were relieved by no decora- tive feature save for bronze bust Of President von Hindenburg and tall vase of blue cornfiowers.
 In sharp contrast was the unas- suminS and exceedingly democrat ic attitude of the chancellor who has become the unchallenged leader of 1S.O00.000 loyalists to the Nazi cause.
 Hitler spoke slowly. choosing his words carefully. at the begin- ming of our conversation. Then. as it progressed and he began devel- oping his theme. he became ani- mated. emphasizing his points with stabbing gesture of his in- dex finger As he swept into an attack on modern parliamentary systems, he became vehement, al- most eloquent.
 He argued vigorously for what he termed personal leadership" as opposed to the fumb1ing meth ods of parties. parliaments and "consortiums."
 'Parliaments are doomed" he leadership is the principle of to- day and for tomorrow"
 "Parliaments do not express the win of the people," he explained. They function almost exclusively in behalf of the so-called big in- terests.'"
 consortiums. working on the prin-
 What are parliaments? Merely cipie of majority rule. but asum- ing no actual responsibility.
 Personal leadership, on the contrary. is founded on the princi- pleof sole, final responsibility.
 After all. what is dictatorship? All great. successful business en- terprises of the world are run as dictatorship. on the basis of cour- ageous. single responsibility.
 Tt is when things begin to go bad--when firms or governments are threatened with bankrupfcy- that people begin to hide behind the convenient anonymity of boards of conservators."
 whether he believed this brand Of national socialism would spread from Germany to other countries. Hitler declared:
 There are certain ideas of ma. fionai socialism which are funda. mental. such as the idea of the tremendous importance of person. aIity in leadership--and such as the low esteem in which we hold the stere0typed application of the so-caIled majority idea which in our day rules parliaments. the press. and the politics of almost the entire civilized world.
 Such ideas as these I have mentioned will very likely spread everywhere within the coming years. These ideas win acdufre their own concrete form accord ing 10 conditions in the countries to which they spread"
 then asked him whether he be- Iieved that international peace would be furthered by the spread
