HITLER AGAIN IS
SEEKING PEACE
Continued from Page l,

I'VE don't know what the future
holds but we know one thing. No
power on earth will ever defeat Ger
many. They will not vanquish us
either by military power or economic
power"
Hitler said that Germany will not
be discouraged by forecasts of
long war.
I'VE have the eternal life Of hte
nation before U.S." he said. "The
struggle to defeat the treaty of Ver-
sailles was difficult. The road ahead
of us cannot be worse than what we
have gone through.
1--WE are grimly determined to
fight. The greater our determine
ton to make the necessary sacrifices,
the more certainly we will be able
to impose the peace which we need.
1--WE do not want to be forever
molested because we want to live
our life in out vital space accord
ing to our own principles"
Hitler's speech at the eutschland
Hall intensified the German peace
offensive in the apparent hope that
some development might yet prevent
outright rejection of his terms. (The
first formal indication of the Allied
reply to Hitler was expected in a
speech later today by French Pre-
mier Edouard aladier)
Hitler said that the German peo-
pie should give literally to winter
relief.
1--WE could have appealed to the
tax payer" he reminded them, "but
we wanted to call upon everyone to
make some sacrifice.
Everyone must realize there is
still much aid required and many
who require it,"
|. Hitler said that "in this sense
open the war for winter relief. May
winter relief helpers prove them
selves worthy of the heroes at the
front and compensate for the sins
committed by the country in 1914-18
against the warriors of the World
| War"
Greatness OF Sacrifice
From now on let no one think of
the size of his own sacrifice but of
the greatness Of the sacrifice of the
WHOLE" Hitler said.
"All others are small in compar-
ison. AL can help strengthen the
idea of an unbreakable community.
This will answer the stupid conjec-
lures by the rest Of the world as TO
the disulnity of the German people.
We will show them how the Ger
man people have become more
closely fused together.
I'VE will teach them not to ex-
pect to be able to mix into our in
ternal affairs that which we
will be forced to bear, we will bear
Others can be convinced of that.
Neither terror of the moment or
forecast as to the length Of the war
will brighten u.s."

These interpretations were that Ger
many would welcome big neutral
mediation--and the United States
Is the biggest neutral of them all.
The version that circulated In
Washington by word of-mouth was
that reporters at the conference
here had been requested to send up
a trial balloon to test sentiment on
mediation move by Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t was the biggest Washington news
of the war and 1t spread like quick
silver.
Reporters OCT Busy
Reporters hurried to the White
House to find out about the media
tion." The story had been off the
record in the first instance. But 1t
leaked almost Immediately to Wall
street and from these came frantic
query ON the facts" as they were
known in the financial center. They
were that something had been said

and that a hot statement would
come from Presiden Roosevelt on
that subject at p. m. Wall street

ment at 8 p. M, the hour at which

BY the time the fifth or sixth
excited demand for mediation par
ticulars had been received at the
White House, the official whose Ian
guage had been misinterpreted was
losing patience faster than a for
gotten bride at a church. But by
late afternoon the other was sub
siding and the mediation situation
reverted to its previous state, which
was about as follows:
No Response From President
No response from Mr.. Roosevelt is
expected to the informal or quasi
official Berlin suggestions that the
United tSates undertake mediation.
It is suggested that the only way
to bring Mr.. Roosevelt actively into
the picture would be for Germany
or some other belligerent to make a
direct bid for his Intervention in
some role. That, assuredly, would
merit a reply.
There is a scattering of immedi-
ate mediation sentiment in congress
but, so far, without support of adj
ministraticn leaders.

British Airmen Best
London, october 10 - tUP)-A
Minister Sir Kingsley Wood told the
House of Commons today that in
fighting to date British airplanes
were definitely superior" to Ger
man and that with the aid Of the
Dominions, additional "air forces OF
Overwhelming strength" are planned.
The superiority of royal air force
men and planes, he said, had been
proved in almost daily" clashes
with the Germans in submarine
hunting, in virtually uninterrupted
reconnaissance flights from the
Saar to the North Sea on the west
ern front and in pamphlet excur-
sions over Berlin and other parts OF
Germany.
The Raj, he said, had made
complete Photographic map OF the
German Siegfried line.
In the first four weeks OF the war
he said, British airplanes sighted
submarines u times while on patrol
duty and made "a attacks on them
some of which were undoubtedly
successful"
Wood said that engagements in
which the r. A. F. had participated
at sea and in the air over the west
ern front show that the spirit OF
determination of an earlier gener-
alton of our flying men has been
preserved unimpaired."
Courage, Efficiency
"Men who already have been In
action, indeed, have shown to the
full their courage and efficiency"
he added.
He said that latest British fight
ing planes were definitely superior
to their German counterparts.
In the first four weeks OF the war.
the r. A. F. coastal command planes
flew 100000 miles on reconnaiS-
sance duty against submarines, he
said, and provided air escorts for
more than 100 conveys.
Wood said that Canada, Australia
and New Zealand had accepted o
program for increased training OF
aviators and expansion of produc-
ton in the dominions.
1.-THE more comprehensive and
technical facilities required for ad-
vance training apart from this
country will mainly be concentrated
in Canada" he said, land personnel
from Australia and New Zealand
will proceed to Canada for that
training. The aim is to achieve, by
cooperative effort. air forces of over
whelming strength"
Wood disclosed that a mission,
headed by Lord Riverdale, was al
ready en- route to Canada to meet
divisions from Australia and New
Zealand.
