BERLIN, January 30.-Adolf Hit
Ter tore another page from the tat

Germany of her colonies and turned
today to the world with q pledge OF
"loyal cooperation" in the problems
of peace and economic growth.
To a tumultuous Reichstag assem-
bled in the red-draped old Kroll Opera
House, the chancellor proclaimed that
on the fourth anniversary Of his rise
to power Germany had regained her
sovereignty with equal rights before
the world.
Standing before battery OF gleani-
ing microphones that carried his ad-
dress to the nation and throughout
the world, he declared "the time Of
so-called surprises is ended" by Nazi
Germany.
He reiterated Germany's demand
for return of her war-lost colonies,
but did not ask for new ones: he re-
nounced q policy Of isolation and
cited the Communist pact with
Japan as an example of his willingness
to cooperate with other nations; he
offered pledges of neutrality to Bel
gium and the Netherlands, and ex-
tended q friendly hand to France.
To Continue 4-Year Plan.
He avowed Germany's readiness to
work with other nations for economic
development, but added that the ma
tion's four-year plan for self-su-
cheney must be continued.
Then. brushing back the unruly
lock of hair which plunged down from
his forehead, the Fuehrer acclaimed:
Il hereby most solemnly withdraw
the German signature from the (Ver-
sailles) declaration forced upon a weak
government against is better knowl-
edge-the declaration to the effect
Germany was guilty of starting the
World War;"
