Now am asking again for your
confidence. Between now and March

what I have recently done.
II assumed the responsibility. 1t
was not always easy, for I took
over a regime that was In a state
of collapse.
IT assumed the heaviest burden it
is possible for any man to assume.

Hitler went to the speakers stand
in Theresien Meadow through an ova-
ton of multitudes. Cannon doomed
salutes and radio announcers described
every step Of his journey.
It was some time before he could
begin talking, so tumultous was the
applause.
His entrance had been prepared by
Adolf Wagner, Nazi district leader Of
Bavaria, who told the crowd that
the treatment Of Germans in the con-
quered Rhineland after the war was
brutal, and who declared: "All that
Adolf Hitler did was right"
Upon his motion, the listeners passed
a resolution stating: They pray Al
mighty God that He give you strength
to fulfill your mission Of realizing
your ideal Of world peace"
Hitler declared that one of the diff
ficulties he faced as Reichsfuehrer was
ito make clear to the rest of the world
that this is different Germany from
that Of former days"
Must Make Germany Free.
THE nations" he said, still think
they can do with us what they please,
I am suffering from the contempt
which my predecessors brought upon
Germany. We must succeed in max
ing Germany free again.
Il tell you it took much courage to
do what I did in these three years.
Every step took was directed toward

Will Not Change Policy.
He then served notice: II cannot be
forced to change what I have done
either by menacing or by fattery."
The tone of Hitler's voice now be-
came defiant. Shouting at the top Of
his lungs. he cried:
I'VE will not stand for being treated
as you treat a Negro state. We de-
mand the same exits and entrances In
the world as the rest.
Germany will not stand for being
cited everlastingly before international
courts, especially not if the law is
indubitably on our side"
After an hour and 10 minutes of his
;orceful speaking, Hitler's voice became
hoarse and he coughed frequently.
Nevertheless, he took up the ques-
ton Of the Locarno pact, explaining
the German attitude toward it and ex-
pounding his arguments against it..
He also went at length into the
Franco-Soviet pact to demonstrate
how, in his opinion, 1t confiicted with
the spirit of the Locarno pact.
After explaining that the conclusion
of the Franco-Soviet pact compelled
him to renounce the LOcarno treaty,
Hitler referred to his peace offers to
the rest of Europe.

European statesman ever made" he
declared. Europe must be rebuilt on
