HITLER RECEIVERS
HIS LOST VOICE

Husum, Schleswig- Holstein. Aug.
30.-(UP) Adolf Hitler. in the
first public speech he has made
since recovery from his recent
throat trouble. called upon all Ger
mans last night instantly and
bravely to protect" every square
yard OF their native soil.
Speaking at the opening here of
"Adolf Hitler Koog," a small
island recaptured from the North
Sea by dyking, he drew parallel
between the reclaimed soil upon
which he stood and the position of
Germany in Europe.
The Reich can survive, he told
his listeners. only If its dykes
are strong. Continuing the parable,
he went on:
Entering this new land we must
not forget two things: First. that
work alone created 1t; secondly.
every square meter wrested from
the sea must be instantly mad
bravely protected. Thus, everything
the nation is creating must be pro-
tected."
