 Disclosing that he had demanded ehe reutrn of Danzig and the privi- lege of building a strategic road hcross the Polish Corridor to con- nect Germany proper with East Prussia, Hitler said:
 Danzig Must Come Back
 sDanzig must be returned to Ger many. The Polish borders must be rectified. The Polish government has declined my suggestions. Like Czechoslovakia, Poland now stands under the pressure of the Interna- tional war Mongers. Rather thar accept the generous German offer Of Q 25-year pact, they prefer to arm against an imagined danger. Danzig as German and will never be Polish" "
 He disclosed that Poland, reject ing his demands, had said it would consider only the question of substi- tuting some sort of neutral regime for Danzig and that, as regards the strategic road, Poland would con- sider only giving Germany facilities for transit or traffic - on roads to which Poland retained title - through the Corridor.
 Offers Terms to Poland
 Hitler offered, if Poland accepted German demands, to recognize all Polish economic rights in Danzig, to ensure for Poland free harbor in Danzig, to accept the present Ger man-Polish boundary and regard 1t as final, to conclude 25-year non- aggression pact, and to enter a joint German-Polish-H Hungarian guaran- tee of the independence of the Slovak state, this in practice pre- venting any effort to seize it.
 "Should the Polish government wish to. come to fresh contractual arrangements governing it's relations with Germany I can but welcome such an idea provided of course that these arrangements are based on an absolutely clear obligation binding both parties in equal measure" he said.
 Hitler, whose entire political ideol- ogy has been based on German friendship with Great Britain, said solemnly in discussing present rela- tions:
 Germany's Eight to Live
 Lasting friendship between Ger many and Britain is impossible if the parties fail to recognize not only Britain's interests but also Ger many's right to live"
 Germany, he commented, would ind secure way to maintain it's Independence and its dignity with the help of its allies.
 He promised that the German na- ton might be reassured.
 Tt has the strongest army and the strongest air feet" he said.
 '1taly has the greatest under standing for Germany. Nobody should be surprised that We have the same feelings for Italy"
 Then, discussing Britain, he said:
 "The English consider war in- evitable. I regret this. The only demand I have made of England is restoration of colonies. I always said this would be no reason for war. I always hoped England would understand German interests. Nevertheless we see England prac- ticing encirclement."
 Germany Slandered
 Ee turned to the Spanish civil war.
 Germany was slandered in con- nection with the help she gave Ma tionalist Spain," Hitler said. Liars said Germany wanted to make Spain dependent, to make it colony. In a few weeks Franco will enter Ma drid with Spanish and Italian SOL diers-and German soldiers also will enter Madrid.
 T hope we will welcome them back to Germany soon. Then the German nation will see how cour- ageous they were in combating Bol- ehevism."
 This was the first announcement of the scheduled return of the Ger man aides of the Spanish Nation- alists after the May 15 victory parade in Madrid.
 Approves of Italy
 Hitler approved Italy's occupation of Albania, as justified by the right ard duty to maintain order in a territory which nature assigned her" and to build up European cul- trre there.
 '"The ties between Germany and Italy are indiSSoluble," he said.
 Any attempt to dissolve them is ridiculous"
 The British, French and Polish ambassadors were not among the diplomats in the gallery of the Kroll Opera House where Hitler made his speech.
 Reichstag deputies cheered Hitler's points loudly, particularly those in .sAchino RackT
