ENGLAND AND HITLER
GROWING HOSTILITY
ACTIVITIES DENOUNCED
ROSENBERG'S DEFENCE
; United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph— Copyright.' y LONDON, May 12. The visit of Herr Rosenberg, Hcrr Hitler's envoy to England, has excited intense public feeling, in which there is a growing note of hostility to Hitler isra and the persecution methods adopted in Germany, A distinguished scientist has denounced the activities of the new regime. Herr Rosenberg has issued a statement defending Herr Hitler's rule and justifying the Nazis' campaign. Herr Rosenberg's statement says that Germany's strong measures against the Communists have saved Central Europe and prevented the destruction of Western civilisation. May Day was actually a peaceful festival showing that the upheaval did not involve the guillotining of thousands, but represented the ■people's uprising. >The discipline exhibited, says Herr Rosenberg, was more remarkable because Hitlerism lost 300 killed, and 26,000 wounded in the ten years of Marxist outrages; The Nazi excesses were insignificant in view of the scale of the revolution. Germany wished for no re-arming of the world, but hoped for a growing Anglo-German-understandi-ng- : - ' - - Herr Bosenberg subsequently informed the Press that he' was unable to say whether Mr. Mac Donald and.Mr. Baldwin refused ,tp see him, There was nq time to see them, because ~tho official visits were over. He had ascertained clearly what the people thought, but there was no average feeling either way. \ The persecution of the Jews was nothing compared with what the Nazis had undergone in the past 14 years. He himself had faced former Government's bullets 'and had been imprisoned. Only five Jews had been beaten, and many more killings occurred in Chicago .than in Germany. Keplying to the Sydney "Sun's" inquiry as to Hcrr Hitler's colonial intentions, Herr -Rosenberg said that Germany must have colonies, and intends to.get them probably six years hence. When asked whether Germany desired Australian or New Zealand mandates, he said that Germany was aiming at Tanganyika and other African colonies. .■.'■'.■■.....,■ ~...„• . , •
