| its content was not new, all lHAoI- mant said. Tt was particularly note worthy for it's piling up of untruths, improbabilities and insults to Ger many and Italy,"
 It was added that the officially in- spired comment would indicate that i've are surprised that the political leader of a nation of 100000 900 peo- ple should use such offal of the Jewish press for a serious address to his people"
 Informants said that this comment would be the basis for inspired arti- cles in German newspapers, though naturally the different newspapers would vary their wording. They said also that their own summary of the line of comment must be regarded as information" on what the press would publish, and not in itself an official or authorized government declaration.
 Discussing the inspired press re- action an informant said it would indicate:
 Everyone here in Germany asks what was the reason for the nervous ness seen in every sentence and the irritation in the tone of the president of the United States in what he de- scribed as 8 fireside chat We have one answer: Roosevelt's own bad conscience that he should be regard ed along with Churchill as equally guilty and responsible for the pres ent situation of England, which he himself evidently already regards as lost"
 What Reaction Indicates The reaction, it was said, would indicate:
 "The speech is based on two false premises, first, a lie regarding the Fue ehrer's aggressive intentions against the American continent. and secondly a lie regarding an alleged attempt to gain world domination"
 The radio said that the president his arms factory that T can beat misconstructed Hitler's statement in any power in the world with my gold, which is the work of German labor" This it was explained, was construed by the president to mean that Hitler sought world domina- ton.
 (The president said: l ("The NaZi masters of Germany have made it clear that they intend not only to dominate all life and thought in their own country but also to enslave the whole of Europe, i and then to use the resources of Europe to dominate the rest of the world.
 ("It was only three weeks ago that 1 their leader stated this: There are two worlds that stand opposed to each other Then, in defiant reply to his opponents, he said this: 9th CTS are correct when they say: With this world we cannot ever reconcile ourselves" can beat any power in the world So said the leader of the Nazis.")
 Of this, Nazi informants said that the inspired press comment would say:
 Hitler Speech Falsified
 Both of Roosevelt'S false premises were based on quotations from the fuehrer'S latest speech, taken out of their social and political context and falsified. At rc point in his last speech or any other speech by him or official utterance by any other German statesman has anything been said to justify these hypoth- eSeS.
 "All his (Hitler's) speeches in fact pointed out that Germany was not fighting for imperialistic ideas but solely to secure the living room in Europe needed for a nation of 80,- 000, coo people and to which they are entitled.
 "Roosevelt's comparison regarding the feuhrer's own person seemed to us understandable and we are watching with great closeness what reaction in the United States will be to 1t.
 Another point: It is curious that the whole United States press in re- cent months has constantly reiter- ated that 1t was the English Chan mel alone that saved Britain from the danger of invasion.
 Nevertheless the Atlantic is ap- parentiy not sufficient barrier to protect the United States from ir- vasion.
 "In this false augmentation we see tendency on one hand to exag- gerate and on the other hand to minimize, indicating that the people of the United States purposely and wilfully do not understand Germany and the present situation in the war in Europe"
 Informants refused also to Indi- cate whether the comment they had made as indicative Of the tone Co Do taken by newspapers came direct from Hltlor. But there ie little doubt that it was inspired by the highest German quarlsgs, after long ozam-
