U.S.A. WARNED

Hitler Speaks To German Nation WAR PROSPECTS Decision Promised This Year (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) LONDON, January 30. Hitler issued a bombastic warning to the United States in a speech to the German nation made at the Sports Palace on the eighth anniversary of his accession to power. ‘’Whoever wants to help Britain must know that if their ships come within range of our torpedoes they will be torpedoed,” he said. “The German people have nothing against the United States, but if there is an American attempt to intervene in the European conflict, our aims will change at once and will be realized more quickly. Europe will resist such an attempt. “A U-boat war will start this spring and the enemy will then see that we have not been sleeping.” Hitler decorated many military men and party members with the Iron Cross. Among the recipients were Dr. Ley and Dr. Dornier, the aircraft expert. Hitler’s speech, which lasted 90 minutes, was one of his most hysterical outbursts. Often his voice rose to a shrill scream. At times he lost the thread of his thoughts, and coughed and spluttered. He was most hysterical when lie referred to an Englishman’s calculation that he made seven mistakes last year. ‘■That is quite wrong. Actually I made 74 mistakes (here his voice rose to a shriek, and he shouted and coughed). but the enemy made 4,385,000 mistakes.” The German radio claims that the speech was transmitted from (17 wireless stations in 26 languages. “We will launch a decisive last stroke ami that will happen in this historic year.’’ said Hitler. "The Jewry which drove Germany to war will be exterminated in Europe.” Attack On Britain.

Attacking Britain, Hitler said: “Nation after nation lias been robbed of its freedom to form a unit of the Britisli Empire. Britain’s democracy is just a mask, tn England they speak of their freedom and their liberal system. Actually these words only cover up organized exploitation of Hie workers. British diplomacy is based on tiie principle of playing oft’ one great nation against another so that Britain can hold her power.” Hitler excoriated England and said that through 300 years of violence she laid only faked tier empire together. “Now nations want, to bleed and bleed just because a few capitalists do not agree witli Nazism," said Hitler. “While soldiers fight, these Jews across tlie Channel till their pockets. I hope that all nations will enter onr (great common front of Aryan humanity against Jewish exploitation " Hitler, at considerable length, recapitulated Germany's prewar efforts to reach a settlement, and said that France started tlie war because of her lust, to fight Germany. “There was no controversy with England.” he said. “Even tlie colonies which we wanted back were not urgent.” Hitler said that lie made a peace offer to England following tlie Polisli campaign, but they yelled and got excited and spat at him. Talk Of English Plan. “Sometimes,” lie continued, "I read of an English plan to start a big offensive somewhere. I only’ wisli that they would let me know in advance so that, we can have that territory evacuated for them and give them space for a landing. Then we will talk the only language they seem to understand. “At sea this spring tlie submarine war will start. The Luftwaffe and tlie armed forces will force a decision one way or another. Wherever we can beat England we will beat England. “If a few defeats to our partner convince them that Italy is going down they are mistaken. Tlie English attempt, to stir up the Italian population is idiotic. They say that Italy will desert Germany, but I would advise England to see to her own allies and their internal troubles. If the war lasts long enough it will tie disastrous for Britain, because she will then have to send a commission to Germany to take over our social programme. “There cannot be an abundance in wartime, but tlie German people will not starve. Rather, it will be the English who will starve. “Germany will force a decision this year. Tlie capitalists will be broken and an international understanding will follow. God shall not. leave us in tlie coming year. Wo will tight to tlie last man." HITLER FEATURED IN ITALIAN PRESS LONDON, January 30. Apropos tlie eighth anniversary of Hitler’s accession to power many Italian newspapers publish columns giving details of his career. Editorials say that tlie Axis is engaged in a conflict to right wrongs in Europe and emancipate nations from exploitation by plutocratic democracy.
