BERLIN, June 28.-Adolf Hitler ap-
plauded today while Man Germany,
through her highest apostles Of eco.
nomics. made known to the Interna.
tional Chamber of Commerce her de-
mand for a share in the worlds raw
materials and its trade.
Col. Gen. Hermann Wilhelm Goerinz,
virtual dictator Of Germany's four
year plan for self sufficiency, and Or.
H1alnar schacht, her economic min
lister, spoke out to the $500 delegates
from 40 countries to seek 4 German
place IN the economic sun-and the
return Of war-lost colonies

Hitler Draws Attention.
Curious eyes from all over the world,
including the United States, were on
Der Fuehrer as he gave 4 snappy
Nazi salute and seated himself, NaN
uniforms dotted the ranks Of his
followers.
Only last night, at Wurzburg Hitler
had his own say on the Reichs short
age Of raw materials Then he de-
clared Germany would welcome an
tnsurgent victory in Spain because,
"As it Is generally known, we try TO
buy ores everywhere" Spain is rich
in the minerals that Germany needs.
1t was Goering who sounded the
Nazl colony keynote, with the declara-
ton it was "intolerable" for the Reich
to be dependent economically on other
nations.
The ever-resplendent air minister
1 sounded Nazidom's determination to
be self-suthcient Just ls years to ths
day since the formal signing Of ths
treaty Of Versailles stripped a con-
| quered Germany OF her colonial en1-
pire after the World War.
Goering told the opening session Of
the ninth session OF the chamber Of
commerce you may be sure Germany
will continue to bring up the colonial
problem until her urgent and legiti-
mate desires regarding colonies are
fulfilled"
Furthermore" warned Goeriny.
Germany is working with all her
energy on the undertaking known
as the four-year plan"
Just as Germany must be able I'M
ally to rely on her own strength-and
on that alone-to defend her terri
tory, so must she be set-supportins
economically If she is to preserve
her independence, honor and in
ternational prestige" said Gen.
Goering.
To depend upon the more or less
willing assistance of others is simply
an intolerable state Of affairs for
nationally conscious people that
wishes to live"
| Defends Arms Program.
Goering defended Germanys huge
rearmament program with its at
tendant needs for raw materials as
a necessity. When it proved i'm
possible TO induce other countries TO
follow the German example and
dkarm, Germany, in order to se.
cure full equality Of rights, had no
other choice than to rearm," he said.
However, he added:
AS far as it depends on Germany
there will not be another war"
After an extensive eulogy Of Nan
achievements, Hitlers first lieutenant
turned to world trade, telling the
assembly OF business men from all
over the world:
In national Socialist Germany the
term world trade Is not taken as
meaning international economic in.
terdependence in itself. Their ma.
tional market represents the economic
patrimony Of each people and every
national policy begins at home.
"On the other hand there can be
no doubt but that consistent applica-
ton OF the principle Of economic self
sufhciency of all state would in the
long run be detrimental to all peo-
pies"
