IN GermanyS power, and IN her
friendship with Italy and Japan.
He saw a menace to the world in
Bolshevism and in Jews. He took
occasion to deny reports that he
sought a European pact to limit
aerial armaments.
But he withheld the word for
which Germany and the world
were waiting - his policy toward
Czechoslovakia.
The one reference Hitler made
that might be interpreted as re-
ferring to the Sudeten German
minority in Czechoslovakia - and
to German minorities in such 9TH
ers of Germany's neighbors as Po-

destiny had to make Germany go
through that path in order to puri-
fy and ripen us all for the greater
community CT Germans which
alone can be considered in future
as a guarantee for cur nation?"
1t was on this domestic policy,
really, that Hitler got into the in
ternationally important part of his
proclamation.
Asserting that Germany no long

its program of economic self -suffi-

The National Socialist state with
characteristic energy drew a lesson
from World war experience. We
shall continue to cling to the prin-
ciple that we shall rather bear re-
strictionS in this or that field than
again become dependent on foreign
countries"

The movement of the fleet was

swer to the massing Of 100000
soldiers by Germany.
There was no concealing that the
movement thought that the crisis
over the Czechoslovak minority dis
