NAZI PROPAGANDA

Germany As A “Have Not” Nation INHERENT FALSEHOOD (British Official Wireless.) (Received January 3, 7.30 p.m.) RUGBY, January 2. After remarking that though Hitler's New Year proclamation is ostensibly a party affair two external events —Ihe embarrassment caused by Italian defeats in Albania and the Western Desert and President Roosevelt's radio talk—have left their trace on its draft, "The Times" says the proclamation is refreshingly frank about the Nazi war aims. Hitler declared that the war was being fought to decide the timehonoured issue between the "haves" and the "have nets.” "Ju other words," says "The Times. "The Nazi attempt to control the world is disguised in a mist of false terminology. It was never very .clear by what title Germany, on all counts one of the most richly endowed countries of Europe, ranked among tile 'have nots.’ It becomes still less clear since the outlines of Hitler's new order in Europe began to take shape. The picture of the impoverishment of tt Germany- in revolt against the plutocrats must seem singularly unconvincing to the peoples of those countries in Europe whose resources are now being drained. The whole Nazi propaganda is founded on this inherent contradiction and inherent falsehood.”
