March l, 1885.
He already had made gestures OF
friendship toward France in two pre-.
Vious speeches, on September IL al
Nurnberg, when he reiterated his re-
nunciation of any claim to Alsace-
Lorraine, and on September rs In
Berlin, when he renounced all fur
ther territorial claims on the Euro
pean continent after annexation OF
Sudetenland.
Berlin diplomatic circles awaited
the speech with interest, but no Ger
man in authority was able or willing
to disclose the probable nature of the
talk.
Officials pointed out that Hitler is
interested in art as we'll as foreign
affairs, and therefore his speech might
easily be devoted to the theater and
its place in German cultural life
1t will be broadcast throughout the
nation.
Goerring Left In SudetenIand.
Hitler left Field Marshal Hermann
Wilhelm Goerring behind in the
fourth zone of occupation of Sude-
tenland as he boarded his special
train for the Saar with the cheers Of
crowds at Patschkau ringing in his
ears.
The popular field marshal did not
go on to sections of Sudetenland yet
unvisited by the Fuehrer but deliv-
cred speech at Karlsbad (Karlovy
Vary.
Now you have returned to your
home, Germany" he declared from
the balcony of the Karlsbad Theater.
The Fuehrer took your fate into
his strong hands.
Don't ever forget-you are no long
er Sudeten Germans. You are the
Reich's Germans"
Troops Penetrate Mountains.
Throughout the day HitIer's bat
talions were proceeding further into
the Iser and Giant Mountains.
There was real difficulty in march,
ing over Spindler Pass in the Giant
Mountains both on account of the
general character of the approach and
the fact that rainy weather made the
road slippery.
While the Czechs in that portion
of the country apparently stuck to
their positions until the last possible
moment, the occupation OF the fifth
zone proceeded according to schedule.
It is to be completed Monday.
Economic Group Meets.
In Berlin only the Economic SUBJ
Of the International Com
mission set up under the four-p power
Munich accord was in session.
Presiding over 1t was Karl Ritter,
German Ambassador to Brazil whose
return to Rio De Janeiro was stated
to have been delayed at Hitlers re-
quest.
"a Rio De Janeiro dispatch said
reliable sources there reported. Rit-
ter had been declared persona
non grata" by the Brazilian gov
ernment.)
Before his appointment as Am
bassador to Brazil, Ritter was chief
of the economics division of the
foreign Office.
A Wilhelmstrasse spokesman said
that until economic issues were
settled all other problems, such as the
question Of having or not having a
plebiscite in the mixed areas of
