BERLIN July i4-The Eazl pres,
poured forth 70 the German public
today It's praise of Adolf Hitler fol
his Reichstsg speech and gave as
surances OF the worlds approval Al
was praise for the chancellor His
address tustifyinR the violent deaths
Of n persons in the "Roehm revolt
was lauded TO the skies
The identity Of the dead however
unrevealed by Hitler. remained un-
published. and a government spokes-
man said the official list viii never
see the light Of day.
II was said that had Hitler chosen
to have II published he would have
announced the names himself.
Foreign Views Set Forth.
Special correspondents OF German
papers In New York, London. Paris,
Warsaw. Rome and other world cities
notified their newspapers in long dis
patches that all the world is at least
impressed and in most cases approves
OF the chancellor's words
THE Fuehrer's speech was re-
ceiyed by all listeners throughout the
world as the honest confession OF a
man who is in earnest about the fu-
ture Of his fatherland and his people
as nobody before him" said the
Nachtausgabe
The entire German press called Hit
Ter zone Of the greatest figures Of all
times"
THE nation thanks the Fuehrer for
his stupendous speech" said the Ea1
party official news service. Graft
tude and fidelity are the German peo-
piles reply"
Editorial Praise UnStinted.
Not only was every editorial writer
In Germany fulsome In his praise Of
the man In whom millions of his fol-
lowers see a messiah. but the German
people we're assured that, as the
Zwoelf Uhr Blatt put It:
Never before has a speech by
European statesman met with such
universal approval as yesterdays
speech by Hitler"
Various newspapers gave attention
to the unique Performance" Of the
Associated Press in supplying to
America the complete text of the
ehancellor's address.
One or another of the papers
intimated that in France there was
some disappointment that Hitler had
not spoken on German foreign policy,
and that he had announced the
return of the s. A. (Storm Troops)
after the July leave, but these
criticisms we're not allowed to darken
an otherwise bright picture.
So far as official Germany Is con-
cerned. the revolt of June 80 is a
closed chapter-So much closed that
the government apparently will not
even bother TO supply the list of
those who lost their lives.
Traitors Denied Honor"
One informant, usually reliable,
said Hitler put his foot down when
publication Of the list was suggested.
saying, Il will not do the traitors
that honor"
Another version was that nobody
knows the exact extent of the kill
ings, there having been number of
cases of private revenge beside the
official executions.
The session of the ReichStag before
which Hitler spoke constituted the
last major political event before the
Summer holidays. Most of the higher
government officials. especially those
with families, left today, or are about
to leave, and all the schools are closed
for the month.
Hitler himself remains in Berlin, at
least until Monday. when he is to
receive the Protestant ReichSbishop,
Ludwig Mueller, who will present
report on his efforts TO unity the
German church.
Public Glad for Respite.
The excitement of recent weeks
has so weighed upon the people gen.
orally that there seems to be a gen.
eral desire to adjourn politics for
while.
The matter concerning a German
protest against utterances of Gen.
Hugh S. johnson. excoriating the re-
cent NaZi executions, seemed to be
at rest.
WilhelmstraSse circles were repre-
sented as feeling that the chancellor's
speech effectively supported the pro-
test of the German embassy at Wash
ington against Johnson's indictment.
They believe the speech proved the
necessity for his drastic action beyond
q doubt
The German public. whatever its
thoughts In private, was not insensible
TO the grim warning that firing squads
would be called into action if necessary
TO hold Httler's rule over Germany.
Warning Impressive.
The significance of that section of
the speech of Der Fuehrer was pounded
into the German public so hard by its
driving oratory that they will not for
get quickly the phrase Every one is
to know for all future times that if he
raises his hand for attack against the
state certain death will be his lot"
The chancellorS mention Of Ger
manyS economic life and his defiant
assurance TO the world that German
ingenuity would make the Reich self
sufficient If necessary in raw materials
apparently had produced no reaction
internally.
Financial circles focused their at
tention on conversations in Berlin be-
tween George L. Harrison, governor of
the New York Federal Reserve Bank,
and HJalmar Schacht, head of the
ReichSbank
The substance Of their conversations.
while 1t was safely assured to concern
the financial future OF Germany. re-

for three days. following his converse
