SndIlCellOT AuOll f1Illti III llLo diliii-
versary address, promised today that
Germany had no intentions OF vlolat-
ing the security of Austria.
His address was made to the Reich
stag and a crowd of foreign diplomats
packed into the Kroll Opera House.
TO the German Governments great
regret" said Hitler, Its relations with
the present Austrian government are
not satisfactory.
The fault is not ours. The asser-
ton that Germany plans to violate
Austria is absurd and incapable OF
proof
But it is only natural that an idea
which has deeply stirred and permeated
the German nation would not halt at
the frontier posts OF country which
for centuries was an integral part OF
the German empire.
Warns Of Consequences.
mo revolutionary ideas were ever
stopped at the frontiers as the French
revolution has shown.
III the present Austrian government
thinks it necessary to suppress TINS
movement forcibly it is its own affair
but it will have to bear the conse-
Quences.
Austria cannot expect German
IL
as unwelcome-no more than Germany
could expect American or British guests
II they were to have their national
emblems and flags torn down while they
were visiting Germany.
Germany cannot tolerate such hu-
initiating treatment
All Travellers Are Nazis.
Then Hitler exclaimed triumphantly:
"All Germans now travelling abroad,
except emigrants, are National So
cialists!"
Hitler continued:
THE allegation Of the Austrian gov
ernment that any attack by the Reich
is being undertaken or even planned
against Austria must be rejected most
sharply"
If Austria objects to political propa-
ganda emanating from Germany" Hit
Ter continued. surely the German
government could rightly complain of
propaganda emanating in other coun-
tries from German emigres living
there"
Germany, he said will not complain
Of propaganda in the Saar, in Praha
and in Paris, because she feels herself
strong enough to counteract any such
propaganda.
Don't Need propaganda.
Proudly proclaiming he was an Aus
trian by birth, Hitler said the Austrian
people were national-mlnded enough
not to need propaganda from Germany.
This declaration of Austro-Germany
relations was followed by tribute to
Premier Mussolini of Italy and to Italy
herself.
To Joseph Stain. head of the Com
addrpCSp6 d.
monition. He said:
Just as little as in Russia would be
tolerated a German National Socialist
tendency will Germany tolerate Com
munistic tendency or even Communlstlc
propaganda
In relation to Poland, Hitler said that
when he became chancellor there was
danger that the differences between Po-
land and Germany might lead to po-
litical and hereditary enmlty.
Seeks Polish Amity.
"Poles and Germans must resign
themselves to the realization OF each
others existence" said the chancellor
1T is therefore more purposeful to SO
mold a condition of a thousand years
standing that both nations should de-
rive the maximum benefit therefrom
The German government was happy
to find in Marshal Pilsudski the same
broadminded viewpoint. ="
Concerning Franco-German relations,
Hitler declared no one in Germany
wanted to threaten Frances security.
Germany is ready to do everything
in her power to prove this statement,
he said, but Germany demands equal
ity."
Nobody Wants New War.
Nobody in the world" said Hitler,
has the right to deny this to great
nation and nobody would have the
power to prevent it permanently. A
