capitalist states of the west are
interested today in playing of these
two states and their principles
against each other.
For this purpose, and until it is
realized, they certainly regard the
Soviet Union as sufficiently respec-
table partner for the conclusion Of
useful military pact. But they
regard it as perfidy that their hon.
orable approaches were rejected, and
In their place rapprochement took
place between those two very powers
who had every reason for seeking
happiness for their respective peo-
piles in developing their economic
relationship along the lines of
peaceful cooperation.
Months ago I stated in the
Relchstag that the conclusion of
the German-Russian non,aggres-
sion pact marked the turning point
in the whole German foreign policy.
The new pact of friendship and
mutual interest since signed be-
tween Germany and the Soviet
Union will insure not only peace
but a constant satisfactory Coop
Grafton for both states.
Germany and Russia together
will relieve one Of the most acute
danger spots in Europe of it's
threatening character and will,
each in her own sphere, contribute
to the welfare of the peoples living
there, thus aiding to European
peace in general. If certain circles
today see in this pact either the
breakdown of Russia or Germany
as suits them best-I should like
to give them my answer.
For many years imaginary aims
were attributed to Germany's for
eign policy which at best might be
taken to have arisen in the mind

German Russian agreements
should prove immensely comforting
to these worried sponsors of uni
versal liberty, for do they not show
most emphatically that their as
sertions as to Germany's aiming
at domination of the Urals, the
Ukraine, Rumania, etc, are only
excresences of their own unhealthy
war-lord fantasy?
Decision to See Peace
Established Is IrrevOcable.
On one respect it is true Ger
many's decision is irrevocable,
namely in her intention to see
peaceful, stable and thus tolerable
conditions introduced on her east
ern frontiers; also it is precisely
here that Germany's interests and
desires correspond entirely with
those Of the Soviet Union. The
/ two states are resolved to prevent
problematic conditions arising be-
tween them which contain germs
of internal unrest and thus also Of
external disorder and which might
perhaps in any way unfavorable
affect the relationship of these two
great states with one another.
Germany and the Soviet Union
have, therefore, clearly defined the
boundaries of their own spheres OF
interest with the intention Of being
singly responsible for law and order
and preventing everything which
might cause injury to the other
partner.
The aims and tasks which emerge
from the collapse of the Polish state
are. in so far as the German sphere
of interest is concerned roughly AZ
! follows:
l. Demarcation of the boundary
| for the Reich, which will do justice
to historical. ethnographical and
economic facts.
2. Pacification of the whole terri
tory by restoring a tolerable meas
ure of peace and order.
3. Absolute guarantees of security
not only as far as Reich territory is
concerned, but for the entire sphere
of interest.
f. Re-establishment and reorgan-
ization of economic life and of trade
and transport, involving develop
ment of culture and civilization.
S. AS the most important task.
however to establish new order of
ethnographic conditions. that is to
say, resettlement of nationalities
in such a manner that the process
ultimately results in the obtention
of better dividing lines than is the
case at present. In this sense. how

sphere, but of task with far wider

of the principle of nationalities and
of radical ideals. it is Utopian to be-
lieve that members of highly de-
veloped people can be assimllated
without trouble.
1t is therefore essential for a far
sighted ordering Of the life of Eu-
rope that resettlement should be
undertaken here so as to remove at
least part of the material for Euro
pean conflict.
Germany and the Union OF Soviet
Republics have come to an agree
ment to support each other in this
matter.
The German government will.
therefore, never allow the residual
Polish state of the future to become
in any sense disturbing factor for
the Reich itself and still less source
OF disturbance between the German
Reich and Soviet Russia.
