Adolf Hitler FavOrs
Intervention In War
By President F. ID. r.

Adolf Hitler is willing to
agree to an armiStice in Eur
Ope's war if President ROOse-
welt proposes such a step.
France and England did not
react .favOrably to his speech
or peace proposal and there is
not much hope that they will
cOncede peace to Hitler at his
own price.
Berlin, Oct. 6-Fuehrer Adolf
Hitler held over Great Britain
and France the threat of "appal-
ling" destruction, with the lives
of millions as it's toll, if they re-
Ject his offer of an armistlce
which he delivered in an 0O-mln-
ute speech at noon before the
Nazi Reichstag.
Arguing, threatening and final
ly praying for peace the Reichs-
fuehrer called upon the Allies to
agree to an international confer
ence and make a broad and last
ing European settlement-disar-
mament, colonies, trade and the
Jewish question.
But any conference of the great
powers will be impossible, he
said, under the roar of cannons. y
Hitler said, in a speech stripped
of his usual emotionalism, that
this was his final offer of peace.
eff peace and security are not
achieved then this will be my
last declaration {. then we shall
fight Neither force of arms
nor time will conquer Germany
He proposed:
l. The conferences of nations
for a general European settle
ment.
2. Disarmament, or failing that
an agreement to forbid the use
of poison gas in order to reduce
the horrors of war. The most i'm
portant pre-condition to security
and peace is a return of arma-
ments to sensible and economic
ally bearable level"
3. A general solution of the
European Jewish problem"
4. Possibly a restoration of a
Polish flag under German-Soviet
suzerainty, to contain only Poles
5. Germany now has no de-
mands to make except for colo
MES and the need for colonies
does not represent an ultimate
demand" because "our only de-
mands is for colonial possessions
fitted for and suitable for the
Reich; this is, the return of for
mer German colonies"
6. Germany will respect the
neutrality of Denmark, Belgium,
Jugoslovia and I'll other neigh
bors and desires only strong eco
nomic relations with them.
Z. Security is possible only on
the basis of German-British
friendship which Germany al
ways has sought and still seeks
8. If Britain and France are
fighting only to defeat Germany
they cannot do so, no matter how
long the war continues, and even
if they did emerge triumphant
from a long and bitter war the
situation in 10 years would be the
same-with all the injustices OF
another Versailles.
9. The line between German
and Russian interests is clearly
drawn and there is no reason for
