conviction that we shall proceed
faster than the others. No power
on earth will ever be- able to entice
the weapons from us through any
phrase.
German People Prepared
For Test Of Strength.
Should, however, somebody be
craving for measuring their strength
with ours, then the German people
also are ready at any time and I
am ready and determined.
Just as we think our friends also
think, especially the state with
which we are bound most closely
and with which we are marching
now and will march under all cir
CumStances forever.
If hostile journalists don't know
of anything else to write. then they
write about rents or breaks in the
axis.
They ought to hold their peace.
This axis is the most natural po-
litical instrument existing in this
world.
1t is a political combination which
owes It's origin not only to reason
able political deliberation and the
desire for justice but also to the
power of an ideal.
This construction will be more
durable than the momentary ties of
Heterogeneous bodies on the
other side.
For If some one tells me today
that there are no philosophical
or theological differences of any
kind between England and Soviet
Russia, then can only say: Il con-
gratulate You, gentlemen"
I believe that the time is not far
distant in which the philosophical
(Weltanschauliche> community be-
tween Fascist Italy and National
Socialist Germany will prove es-
sentially different than the one
between Democratic Great Britain
and the Bolshevist Russia of Stain.
However, if there really should be
no theological difference, then 1 can
only say: How correct indeed is my
position toward Marxism and Com
munism and democracy! Why two
phenomena if they possess the same
contents?
Nation Liberated Despite
Friends Of B0lshevism.

great triumph and a deep inner
satisfaction A country which also
was devastated by Bolshevism,

For Germany has no intention of

without virtue in order now in ma
turity to speak of virtue.
Thus it could appear that during
this British period without virtue
46.0O0O00 Englishmen have subdued
nearly one-quarter of the world
while 80,0000O0 Germans, because
of their virtue, must live at rate
of l40 to one square kilometer.
Indeed 20 years ago the question
Of virtue still was. not entirely clear
for the British statesmen insofar
as it concerned conceptions of prop
erty
One still held it compatible with
virtue simply to take away the colo
nies of another people that had ac-
quired them through treaty or
through purchase because one pos
sessed the power
I have only one thing to ask the
gentlemen British statesmen here,
whether they believe what they say
or do not believe 1t.

themselves really believe it, then we
would lose every respect for them.
Attempt Made to Solve
Problems Through Talks.
For Is years Germany patiently
bore its lot and fate.
I also sought in the beginning to
solve every problem through talks.
I made an offer in the case of each
problem, and each time i. was
turned down! "''
When today British statesman
demands that every problem which
| lies in the midst of Germany's life
interest first should be discussed
with England. then I. too, could de-
mand just as we'll that every British
problem first is to be discussed
| with us.
Certainly these Englishmen may
give me the answer: The Germans
have no business in Palestine!"

| in Palestine.
Just as we Germans have little to
do in Palestine. just as little busi-
ness has England mixing in our Ger
man section of existence Heben-
straum) -
They say We have no right to do
this or that. should like to raise
the counter question: What right,
for example, has England to shoot
down Arabs in Palestine just be-
cause they defend their homeland?
Who gives them this right?
Any way we have not slaughtered
thousands in Central Europe but in
stead we have regulated our prob
lens with law and order.
However, should like to say one
thing here: The German people of
today, the German Reich of today,
! is not willing to surrender its life
interests, it also is not willing to
face dangers without doing some
thing about them.
When the allies, without regard
of purpose. right, tradition or even
reasonableness changed the map of
Europe we had not the power to
prevent it.
Reich Not to Sit Patiently
As States Are Set Against 1t.
If. however, they expect the Ger

many of today to sit patiently by
until the very last day, when this
same result would again be repeat
ed twhile they create satellite states
and set them against Germany,
then they are mistaking the Ger
many of today for the Germany
of before the war.
He who decides himself ready to
pull the chestnuts out of the fire for
burns his fingers.
Really we feel no hatred against
the Czech people. We have lived
together for years. The English
statesmen do not know this. They
have no idea that the Hradcany
tcastle) was not built by an Eng
lishman. but by German and that
the st. Vitus Cathedral likewise was
not erected by Englishmen, but Ger
man hands did it. = ="
They do not know that already
at time when England still was
very small German Kaiser was
paid homage on this hill tHradcany
Castle)-that 1000 years before me
the first German king stood there
and accepted the homage of this
people.
Englishmen do not know that.
They could not know that and they
don't have to know it.
1t is sufficient that we know it
and that it is true that this territory
lay in the living space of the Ger
man people for over a thousand
years.
Independent Czech State
Held Threat to Germany.
Despite this. however. we would
have had nothing against an in
dependent Czech state if, first, 1t
had not suppressed Germans and.
second, if it had not been intended
| as the instrument of future attack
on Germany.
When. however, a former French
air minister writes in a newspaper
that on the basis of their prominent
position it is the task of these Czechs
to strike at the heart of German in
duStry with air attacks during war,
then one understands that this is
| not without interest to us and that
we draw certain conclusions from it.
1t would have been up to England
and France to defend this air base
Upon us fell the task of preventing
such an attack at all events
I sought to accomplish this by a
natural and simple way.
When 1 first saw that every effort
of that natural and simple) kind
was destined to be wrecked and
that elements hostile to Germany
again would win the upper hand,
and as further saw that this state
had long since lost its inner vitality
indeed, that it already was broken
to pieces-I again carried through

way or another!
For as long as this dictate of Yer
sailles weighed upon the German
people it was actually damned to go
to the ground.
IT, however other statesmen now
declare that right must rule on this
earth, then they should be told that
their crime is no right, that their
dictate is neither right nor law, but
above this dictate stands eternal
rights of peoples to live.
The German people were not Gre
ated by Providence in order to follow
obediently a law which suits the
English or the French, but rather in
order to champion their right to
live
That is why We are here!

To Protect Rights of All.
I was determined to take up this
battle of advocating the German

took it up first within the nation.
In place of a great number of
parties, social ranks and societies. a
single community now has taken its
place-the German national COM
munity!
To bring it to realization and to
deepen it more and more is our
task.
I had to hurt many in this time.
However. I believe that the good
fortune in which the entire nation
is participating today must richly
compensate every single one for
what he had to give up dearly on
his own part.
You all have sacrificed your par
ties, societies and associations. but
you have obtained in return a
great. strong reich
And the reich today, thank God,
is strong enough to take your rights
under its protection.

Means Britain Used to Get
Quarter Of World Questioned.
If the world says today that the
nations must be divided into virtu-
GUS nations and into such as are not
virtuous-and that the English and
French belong to the first class. and
the Germans and Italians belong to
those not virtuous-We can only
answer: The judgment of whether
people is virtuous or not virtuous
can hardly be passed by human
being.
That should be left to God.
Perhaps the same British states
men will report: God has passed
the verdict already, because he pre-
sented the virtuous nations with one
quarter of the world and he took
everything away from the non-vir-
tuous!"
The question may be permitted:
BY what means have the virtuous
nations obtained for themselves this
quarter of the World?"
And one must answer: "They did
not apply virtuous methodist"

Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan,

turkey will also inherit the meaty
breast of the wild turkey.
Reinforce Color Inheritance.
To reinforce the inheritance for
white color, the geneticists are using
the White Holland in the breeding
program to produce the small-type
turkey. They are also counting on
the White Holland-and two other
domestic varieties, the bronze and
the black-to contribute early ma
turity and other desirable charac-
teristics.
If the department men succeed,
the small type turkey will be white,
with compact body, short legs, a
long keel bone, and plenty of breast
meat. 1t would mature in "a to rs
weeks, the young hens weighing 61z
to 9 pounds dressed, and the young
toms between II and 151z pounds
dressed
Other goals for the new turkey
are that hens kept for breeding pur-
poses be able to produce reason
ably large number of eggs by June
l. Ninety per cent or more of the
eggs would be fertile and 80 per
cent or more of the fertile eggs
would hatch.
