HITLER’S POLICY PROCLAIMED

NO MENTION MADE OF SUDETENS “NO DESIRE FOR NEW PACTS” 4 (united press association— copyright.) (Received September 7,2 p.m.) NUREMBERG, September 6. Herr Hitler, in a proclamation at the Nuremberg Congress, which was read by the Fuhrer’s “radio double,” Herr Adolf Wagner, in the presence of 20,000 party delegates from all parts of Germany, made no mention of the Sudetens, which seemed to indicate that the keynote of the congress will be the celebration of the year’s triumphs, notably the annexation of Austria. Herr Hitler declared: “I have no intention of concluding new pacts. I step before you, not with a pact, but with seven new German provinces. The Fuhrer went on to welcome the Austrian delegates, “who for the first time are amongst us.” Herr Hitler traced the growth of the Nazi Party, declaring that the nation had been cleansed of parasites and had begun the - struggle against the greatest enemy threatening to destroy Germany—international Jewry. Tremendous armed forces protected the Reich by land, sea, and air. The Nazis had succeeded in unfastening shackle after shackle ot the peace treaties, which were intended to destroy Germany for > all time. “Two Economic Worries” “The English newspaper reports that I have a burning desire to conclude a pact with several nations are false,” declared Herr Hitler. “We, at present, have only two economic worries, namely, insufficient men trained for industry and insufficient for agricultural work.” The proclamation glorified tne courage and heroism of the common soldier, and contrasted it with the alleged cowardice of the leaders in the Great War. It declared: “The attempt to rebuild Germany demanded the extermination of the old leaders. The establishment of the Nazi organisation in Ostmark (Austria) is complete. Unemployment will completelv be overcome by the end ol 1939 The united Germany will continue to cling to the principle rather tv suffer restrictions than aeam depend on foreign countries for supplies The security of the nation must be placed before everything. The idea that Germany can be blockaded can be abandoned as a totally ineffectual weapon. We have been blessed with a good harvest, and we have large reserves of gram which will free us for years ahead from food anxieties. “Germany is deeply gratified that mother great world Power, acting on its own experience and by its own decision, is practising the same anti-Jewish doctrine with admirable energy.” french reaction to SPEECH PRECAUTIONS SNEERED AT BY ITALY (Received September 7. 10 p.m.) LONDON, September 7.
