Abstract of Adolf HitIers Speech to the Reichstog
Pledges Aid Italy, on Other Enemies the State"
And Demands Return of Colonies Seized in World War

impels us does not lie in the desire
for profits Of few capitalists, but
rather in the exigent situation of
our whole people. a situation forced
on us for no good reason through
somebody else's fault.
When we defend ourselves against
such agitators as Mr.. Lloyd George,
Duff Cooper, Mr.. Eden or Mr.. Ickes
and the rest, our action is denounced
as encroachment on the sacred
rights of the democracies. Accord
ing to the way these agitators see
things, they are entitled to attack
other nations and their govern
ments, but no one is entitled to de-
fend themselves against such at
tackS.
I need hardly assure you that as
long as the German Reich con-
tinues to be a sovereign state, no
English or American politician will
be able to forbid our government to
reply to such attacks. And the arms
that We are forging are our guaran-
tee for all time to come that we shall
remain sovereign state-in our
arms and our choice of friends.
Actually the assertion that Ger
many IS planning an attack on
America could be disposed of with
mere laugh. One would prefer to
pass over in silence that incessant
agitation of certain British war;
mongers. but we must not forget
this:
Firstly, owing to the political struc-
ture OF these democratic states it is
possible that q few months later
these warmongers might them
selves be In the government.
Secondly, we therefore owe it to
the security Of the Reich to bring
home to the German people in good
time the truth about these men.
The German nation has no feeling
of hatred toward England, America
or France: all it wants is peace and
quiet. But these other nations
are continually being stirred up to
hatred Of Germany and the German
people by Jewish and non-Jewish
agitatorS.
1 therefore consider it necessary
that from now on our propaganda
ministry and our press should al
ways make a point of answering
these attacks and above all bring
them to the notice Of the German
people. ="
Never have German SOL
diers fought on American soil unless
1t was in the cause Of American
independence and freedom: but
American soldiers were brought to
Europe to help strangle great ma
ton which was striving for its free
dom.
Germany did not attack America,
but America attacked Germany and
as committee of investigation of
the American Senate CONCLUDED,
from purely capitalistic motives,
without any other cause. -
We are resolved to prevent the
settlement In our country OF a
strange people Je3s) which was
capable Of snatching for itself all
the leading positions in the land
and to ouSt it. -"
I think the sooner this problem
is solved the better. for Europe can
not settle down until the Jewish
question is cleared up. -
Today will once more be q
prophet: If the international Jewish
f1nanciers in and outside Europe
should succeed in plunging the ma
tions once more into a world war,
then the result will not be the boil
shevization Of the earth, and thus
the victory Of Jewry, but the ami
hilation Of the Jewish race in
Europe!
1t was anxiety for European cul-
ture and for real civilization which
compelled Germany to take sides in
the fight carried on in nationalist
Spain against the Bolshevik de-
stroyer. '"'
Let no one in the world make
any mistake as to the resolve which
National Socialist Germany has
made as far as this friend utaly)
is concerned. 1t can only serve the
cause CT peace If it is quite clearly
understood that war of rival ideol-
ogies Waged against the Italy of to-
day will, once it Is launched and
regardless of its motives. call Ger
many to the side Of their friend. .
Thus our relationship with Japan
Is determined by the recognition Of
the need to stem, as we are deter
mined to do, the tide Of the threat
ened bolshevization of the world
gone blind with all the resolution
at our command. '"'
The Japanese nation which in the
last two years has set us so many
examples of glorious heroism, Is un-
doubtedly fighting in the service Of
civilization at the other side OF the
world.
Germany has no territorial de-
mandS against Enpland and Fro nce
