“HERALD OF PEACE IN EUROPE”
Hitler Calls For German Support Berlin, Jlarch 18. Amid wild enthusiasm, Herr Hitler delivered an election speech at Konigsberg in which he confessed he had not wished to be dictator, but could not otherwise have assumed responsibility. He described himself as a herald of peace iu Europe, and sounded the customary note about fighting for German equality in tbe comity of nations. He emphasised tbe impossibility of basing the League of Nations on dictates, adding that he might have taken things more easily, remained in the League, submitted to Germany’s inequality in armaments, and steered a comfortable course. He might steer it even now. Nevertheless, nobody would understand Germany’s arguments unless she stood up for herself, but she did not wish to harm anyone.
No power on earth, however, could deter him from tbe decisions lie had taken. Germany must support him to tlie utmost of her power. Her democracy was different from tlie democracy of other peoples, and she had no intention of imposing a specific German democracy upon them.
