Hitler Makes Replies
 To Roosevelt Points
(Continued from Page l)

If MT. Roosevelt was referring to provinces reincorporated in the Ger man Reich it is an historical fact that these were made into nations which they never wished to be- never were and had forced upon them an independence which was no independence.
 MT. Roosevelt-Reports which we trust are not true insist that fur ther acts of aggression are con- templated against still other inde- pendent nations.
 Herr Hitler-I consider every such unfounded insinuation as an offense against transquilty and consequently against peace of the world-some- thing which tends to frighten small CT nations or at least make them nervous. If MT. Roosevelt really has any specific instances in mind I would ask him to name these states which are threatened with aggres- sion and to name the aggressor in question. It will then be possible to refute these monstrous general &C., cusations with a brief statement.
 MT. Roosevelt-We as Americans speak not through selfishness or fear or weakness. If we speak now it is with the voice of strength and friendship for mankind.
 Herr Hitler-If this voice of strength and friendship for man. kind had been raised by America at the proper time and had pos sessed practical value it could have prevented (the Versailles) treaty which has become the source of dire Arrangement of humanity and history.
 MT. Roosevelt-It is still clear to me that international problems can be solved at the council table.
 Herr Hitler-We honor your well meant opinions, MT. Roosevelt, but opposed to your opinions stands the actual fact that in almost 20 years of the greatest conference activity in the world-the League of Ma tions-it has proved impossible to solve one single, decisive interna- tional problem. If, however, your belief is true, then all the nations, including the United States, have not made the chief part of their history at the conference table but with the aid of the strength of their people.
 MT. Roosevelt-It is customary and necessary that (negotiators) leave their arms outside the room where they confer.
 Herr Hitler-The German nation, once trusting to the solemn aSSur- ances of President Wilson and the confirmation of these assurances by the Allies laid down their arms and thus went unarmed to conference table whereafter they were made to accept the terms dictated, were in- suited and plundered. I can assure you, MT. Roosevelt, that am stead fastly determined to see to it not only now but for all future time that no German will enter confer ence without defenses but at all times and forever every German negotiator shall have behind the united strength of the German na- ton, so help me God.
 MT. Roosevelt - In conference rooms, as in courts, it is necessary that both sides enter upon discus sion in good faith.
 Herr Hitler-German representa- tives never again will enter a con- ference that is for them a court. For who is to be the judge there? At 8 conference there is no accused and no prosecutor, but two contending parties.
 MT. Roosevelt-I trust that you may be willing to make statement of policy to me .. in order that l j. may communicate such declaration to other nations now apprehensive.
 Herr Hitler-But how does MT. Roosevelt come to expect the head of the German state, above all, to make a statement without other gov- ernments being invited to make such } statement of their policy as well. certainly believe 1t is not feasible
