HITLER DELIVERS
GLOOMY ADDRESS
Tells People They Face
Hardest Task Imagin-
able This Year

LONDON, Jan. an.-(R- Adolf
Hitler told his bomb-groggy people
today they faced "the hardest task
imaginable" this year and exhorted
them to persevere so that the fight
may lend in the biggest victory
Of the German Reich in spite of all
the devilish tricks of our oppo-
nents.'
From this fight can emerge
only one victor and this will be
either Germany Or Soviet Russia, -
he warned in a speech broadcast
by Berlin radio and recorded by
the Associated Press.
German victory means preser-
walton of Europe and Soviet vic
tory Europe's annihilation.
Hitler's address, made within "a
hours after me Allies greatest day
light aerial assault upon Germany,
was subdued, gloom-filled ora
ton marking the eleventh anniver-
sary of his rule.
He scarcely mentioned the mill
tary situation and devoted almost
all attention to his old thesis that
national socialist Germany stood
as Europe's only bulwark against
the ,"Bolshevik colossus" Soviet
Russia. He uttered his usual dire
$mprecations against international
Jewry."
Hitler asserted Br' ain already

Britain and the United States sis
not whether they will be able to
fight bolshevism but whether they
will be able to defend themselves
