stined to bring peoples nearer each
other in mutual regard and under
standing"
mo people feel for the magic
| power of this fantasy more than the
Germans" he declared.
Hitler asserted, that the entire
world fell into this period of lasting
tension and continued crisis must be
ascribed to a lack of common sense
with which the problems Of the ma
tions were treated both individually
and among each other"
Then followed Der Fuehrer's Oft
repeated structures against the Treaty
of Versailles-the treaty which ended
the World War, and the military
clauses of which he had already shat
tered with his announcement Of re-
armament of Germany.
He declared Versailles was classical
example of how a war should not be
ended.
League Covenant Worthless."
The League of Nations covenant,
he contended, became worthless be-
cause it tied up with the Versailles
treaty, which he said divided the world
into victors and vanquished.
Worst OF all is the spirit Of hatred
inherent in this treaty which took
possession Of the general mentality
of people," he said.
Hitler drew gloomy picture of
world conditions today, which he said
were very opposite to the vision OF
former President Wilson.
wherever we look, we experience
a fiareup of domestic and foreign dis
ORDERS" he asserted.
mo year passes In which somewhere
upon this earth there has not been
an audible roar of weapons instead of
ringing of peace bells. Who can
wonder if from such tragic disappoint-
ment the confidence Of the nations in
the justice Of the order of things was
shaken and seems to fail in so catas-
trophic manner?"
Der Fuehrer drew a vivid picture OF
religious, economic, human and polit-
fcal revolutions which he said had
ensued since 1918, referring especially
to the Russian revolution.
I'VE are not to be blamed for this
development, because it was not
within our power or ken to give the
world ideals or even laws Of life after
our terrible breakdown and at time
of humiliation and defensive NAL
treatment" he said.
Describing previous treatment of
Germany by other nations as roar
ing folly" Hitler said it was quite
clear that without marked change in
mentality there never could be real
peace in the world.
There are politicians who seem to
feel secure only when their neighbors
are badly of, the worse off the bet
ter" he declared.
Giving the Pomorze (PoliSh Cor
ridor) as an example, Hitler asserted:
Il wish the German people would
understand that although it affects
us painfully that an access to the
sea for nation of 35,000,000 (Poland)
should cut through German territory,
it is unreasonable to deny such a great
nation that access.
1T is unsound craftsmanship to at
tempt change by force, because such
an attempt would inevitably create an
atmosphere Of pressure and counter
pressure.
Europe Is a Family"
Europe after all is a family of ma
tions and 1t cannot be imagined as
otherwise.
ANY attempt to solve European
problems otherwise than with calm
reason would lead to regrettable re-
actions"
Hitler vigorously denied that the So
called German question" consisted of
an alleged love of'war by the German
people, a dormant intention to attack
or q devlish cleverness in outwitting
her opponents"
The German question consists, in
something quite different" he de-
clared.
"On very limited, not everywhere
fertile soil, some $1,000, 900 people are
living. That is about 1876 per square
kilometer.
These people are no less industrious
than other European peoples, but they
are also no less desirous of the good
things of life.
"They are no less intelligent, but
they are also no more cowardly. and
under no circumstances are they less
