CONQUERED PEOPLE IN BITTER STRUGGLE.

UNITED NATION. " Germans Have Entered Decisive Year." SPLENDID PROSPECTS. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 11 a.m.) LOXDOX, January 19. "If we sink a few British fishing trawlers they lament about our inhuman methods," continued Dr. Goebbels. "Simultaneously they would be only too glad to starve millions of our women, children and babies if they could. "It was possible to separate the Imperial German Government from the people, but things have changed. Wc have conquered our people in a bitter 12 years' struggle, and made their cause our own and vice versa.

"If the English consider it necessary to relieve our paper shortage by dropping heaps of silly pamphlets that's thenbusiness, but thev are mistaken 111 thinking the pamphlets will produce any impression upon the Germans. Did Not Want War. "It seems the English arc gradually getting afraid. One would have expected their much-vaunted bombers would have appeared over Berlin. Also that they would have attempted to help their Polish Allies by a break through the Siegfried Line in order to force us to divert some of our armies to tlio west, but nothing of the kind happened. "They ask after five months why Ilitler does not attack. We declared from tlio very beginning that we di not want to start an attack because did not want tliis war. "The British want to carve up Germany. Already they have lmed up the emperors and the king whom tli want to restore. Half Prussia is to go back to Poland.

"If I am asked what Daladier thinks then I answer, 'He does not think any - thing. He is unable to think at all* He's nuts.'.

"We arc fully aware that wc arc facing a gigantic and immense conflict, in which our very existence is staked. Such a conflict demands many sacrifices. "It isn't pleasant to sit in a cold room, be in the front lines and have to think that business at home is deteriorating. We all know there arc difliculties, yet tlicy arc being shouldered by the whole nation. There was never a time when Germany had such splendid prospects of achieving a dominating position. I warn you we have entered a decisive year. "The Fuehrer usually comes into the open with his plans," concluded Dr. Goebbels. "The whole German people are waiting with faithful patience for the decisive hour. They know well that this-hour will strike." "RIGHTEOUS WAR." Preservation Of Christian Civilisation. ARCHBISHOP'S STATEMENT. British Official Wireless. (Received 1 p.m.) RUGBY, January 10. In the Convocation of York, the Archbishop of York said: "I cannot use the phrase 'a holy war,' for war in its own nature is always an expression of the sin of man, but without hesitation I speak of this as for us a righteous war. "It is, indeed, in a real sense, a war for Christian civilisation. The systems of thought and life in the German State to-day, and its ambiguous associate, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, arc systems intrinsically opposed to Christian doctrine."
