Production

Wilson warned last week that some

that next years overall production

Hitler, on Defensive,
Hits Allies and Jews
As War lnstigaiors
Reverts to His Old Theme
And Promises 1918 Will
Never Be Repeated
Hy the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.--Strictly on
the defensive and devoid of new VIC
tories over which to boast, Adolf
Hitler reverted to favorite theme
today in his New Year message to
the German people by blaming the
Allies and "the Jews" for starting
the war and promising there never
would be a repetition of 1918.
In q special proclamation broad
cast by the Berlin radio Hitler pic
tured Germany as a peace loving
nation and himself as the leader
who sought only to save his country
men from their enemies and insure
their future welfare.
The proclamation was bare Of ref
erence to developments on the Rus
sian front, where the German armies
are reeling under the blow of six
week-old Soviet offensive, and like
wise ignored the Axis rout In Libya
and the Allied landings in North
Africa.
It abounded, however, with praise
for the German people In enduring
the hardships of war and praised
the courage of the German troops,
who, Hitler declared, would over
come all obstacles to achieve the
final victory.
Will Never Quit, He Says.
Germany will never be conquered
and will never capitulate," the Fueh-
rer asserted. Our strength, the
courage of our troops and the faith,
Of the German people as we'll as the
achievements of our brave allies in
Europe and Asia give us the right
to believe in victory"
Hitler coupled this statement with
q warning that the winter would be
hard one, but tempered this by de-
rlaring that it cannot possibly be
harder than the last"
Then" he said, "the hour will
come when we shall concentrate all
our strength in order to serve the
cause of freedom and thus the future
and life Of our people. Then,
at last, we shall have that long peace
which we need for the construction
of our community. This is the only
right way in which to think of our
dead heroes"
Reichsmarshal Hermann Wilhelm
Goering echoed Hitler's predictions
of victory in some misty future by
issuing an order of the day to the
air force which said: ..
I'VE do not know what the future
is holding in store for US. We know
one thing for certain-in the end
the strength of the sword of Ger
many and her allies will master any
fate and open more beautiful
world to our peoples"
Goebbels Calls 1912 Great Year.
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels also broadcast New Year
eve message to the German nation
in which he described 1912 as "a
blessed year for us-one of the most
dangerous and one of the most de-
cisive years in the history of our
people"
"a survey of territories conquered
during the past year" Goebbels de-
clared, shows that the German
war potential has been augmented.
Once this augmentation has been
fully exploited it will give the war
decisive turn"
Goebbels, like Hitler and Goering,
predicted eventual victory, but he
was equally vague as to when and
how it would be achieved
The duration of the war" he
said, enigmatically, depends on the
problematic expanse of the con-
flict."
