The tone of Hitler's Reichstag ad-

minister of aviation, was that I'VE

Erroneous reports we're circulated
abroad yesterday (not by the Asso-
ciated Press) that Hitler was demand
ing the return of Germany's colonies.
An examination of the text Of his
speech, however. failed to show any
basis for such an Interpretation OF his
remarks.
In his address Hitler solemnly prom
ised that Germany would not unllater-
allv alter boundaries fixed by the
Treaty of Versailles. This was his only
reference-and it was made by in
ference-to suggestions that Germany
desires her lost colonies.
Denounces Versailles Treaty.
Hitler spoke for two hours and IA
minutes. rattling of words from his
long manuscript at the rate Ct more
than 100 a minute, in one OF the
most vital speeches of his career.
He denounced the Versailles treaty
and the recent Franco-RusS!an Sc
curity pact. He said Germany would
enter non aggression pacts with all
save Lithuania, but closed the door
to the Eastern Locarnc pact, Spon-
sored by France.
Along with his offer to halt Ger
man rearmament at level to be de-
cided. Hitler again solemnly declared
Germany would not by unilateral &C
ton alter boundaries fixed by the
treaty of Versailles.
After this pacific reference to the
former colonies he emphasized that
If granted his demand for a navy 35
per cent as large as Great Britain S
the navy would not further be in
creased.
If the Germany Of today favors
peace" he said. 1t favors it neither
out of weakness nor Cowardice.
We decry every war for the subjuga-
ton of foreign peoples.
Repairing Domestic Damages.
Germany of today is immersed in
the tremendous work of repairing its
domestic damages. None of our sub
jects of a factual nature will be COM
pleted before 10 or 20 years. None of
our tasks of an ideal nature can find
its fulfllment before so or even 100
years.
What else could desire but quiet
and peace?"
Declaring the present 'veritable
mania of collective and cooperative
effort = the spiritual property OF
the American President Wilson, Hitler
said the Versailles treaty pronounced
the death sentence upon the collec-
tive, cooperative efforts of nations"
In that treaty. he declared, there
was put a classic occasion according
to victors and vanquished in place of
equal rights. differentiation between
those entitled to rights and those with
out rights"
Germany nevertheless is willing, Der
Fuehrer told the legislators, to sign
aggression pacts with all European
nations save Lithuania, mot because
we want war there, but because we
can not enter into political agree
ment with a state which disregards
the most primitive laws OF human
society"
Nothing to Gain From War.
Germany has nothing to gain from
any European war" Hitler declared,
since we crave freedom and inde-
pendence.
we are ready, through non-aggreS-
sion pacts, to heighten that feeling OF
security from which we also profit"
The Nazi leader refused, however,
as he had often refused before, to con-
slider pacts REINFORCED through OBJ
legations of mutual assistance which,
