of lies which in its maliciousness can
be compared only with the campaign
of atrucity tales that we're set In the
scene against Germany during the
war"
The Foreign Press Association was
called into extraordinary session to-
day to consider as a matter of pro-
fessional honor Goebbels' attack.
In view OF Hitler's habitual attacks
upon foreign atrocity mongers," 1t
was believed the chancellor would
elaborate upon Goebbels' utterances
in his speech TO the Reichstag.
The Reichstag. 100 per cent Man,
gave over all powers TO Hitler and his
cabinet for four years in March. 1888.
and since has been called into ses-
sion only to hear important pro-
nouncements of policy.
The latest meeting. held December
IL. 1888, lasted seven minutes.

Goering Sounds Warning.
Prussian Premier Hermann Wilhelm
Goering, writing in the National
Zeitung added another editorial warn
ing to those directed at foreign cor
respondents. He said that previous
reminders. II unohserved, would be
translated into action.
Since foreign correspondents pride
themselves" he said. ''on having a
nose for news. these gentlemen should
not forget that one does not issue
further warnings, but will act upon
them"
1t was pointed out that Propaganda
Minister Goebbels had sufficiently re-
minded journalists TO be more care
full than during the last eight days '
Foreign correspondents were par
ticularly exercised by the intemperate
language Goebbels used. He employed
the German expression "pfui-teufel. "
The English 'phew" is mild in COM
parison. The German "pfui' Is indi-
cative of extreme disgust and dis
taste.
Goebbels expressed thanks that I'VE
Tin Germany we're given the oppor-
journalistic scoundrels."
Give Own Version.
He gave his own version of the
events, in order to compare them with
the foreign reports.
June 80 passed off without fric-
ton, without the slightest domestic
tremor." he said.
With his authority and with re-
markable brevity. Der Fuehrer (Hit-
len, quick as lightning, suppressed
the revolt of a small coterie of sabo-
teurs, ambitious men, afflicted with a
malady.
Peace and order were disturbed
nowhere in the entire country. Daily
life proceeded in its normal course
The people Of Germany went on a
holiday as though nothing had hap
pened. or else continued their work
without interruption. .-
THE people in their entirety, how
ever. welcomed with a sigh of relief
the deed of Der Fuehrer which saved
Germany and thereby the entire world
from direst catastrophe.
"A huge wave of confidence welled
up in the entire nation for Adolf
Hitler because OF his heroic acts"
Cites Conflicting Reports.
Reading what he termed erroneous
statements from French, English,
Austrian and Russian newspapers, and
from foreign broadcastS, Goebbels
sought to show to the German people
that they must not believe what they
read in the foreign press.
For instance, he showed that Vice
Chancellor Franz Papen was reported
dead by some and was said by others
to have succeeded Hitler.
The campaign of lies was miserably
organized" he asserted.
Even II sheets like the London
Times declare that a mutineers' re-
volt is suppressed with gangster
methods, and if one compares with
that how dignifedly. nobly and de-
Gently events abroad are treated in
the German Press" he said, "one can
say with perfect serenity. 'ah. how
much better human beings are we
savageS."
Many countries of Europe recently.
he said he believed, had been shaken
oy convuls1onS more serious than the
second revolution" of June 80, but
the German press in each case dealt
with events abroad with due Sreserya- =
ton and with limitation to the purely
factual."
Every foreign journalist, II he were
honest, Goebbels continued, would say
that there was nothing in the nature
OF crisis in the regime, but that cit
received its final consolidation through
the removal of mutineers."
He referred to foreign revolver
Journalism of the worst type which
can do credit to no people"
Denies Muzzling Press.
On the other hand, he lauded the
German press which stood by our
side helpfully" and proved thereby
that the great work of education
which national Socialism and its
regime have conducted with reference
to the press has not been without
fruit"
The German press, he said. is not
muzzled.
The government, he declared. in
connection with the events of June 80
kept back nothing and spoke the
truth in everything" leaving no ex-
cuse for incorrect news reports.
Turning to accredited correspond
ents in his discussion, Goebbels said:
