HITLER ON PEACE

EQUALITY OP RIGHTS

GENERAL GOOD WILL 1

(Prom "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, January 5. Eeplying to the greetings which wer» extended to him. in the name of the Diplomatic Corps at the New Tear's, reception, Hcrr Hitler made an appeal for peace and good will among th« nations. "You have spoken," he said, "of the passionate desire of mankind fop the maintenance of peace, and have rightly emphasised the fact that, without the certainty of peace, no salutarr permanence is.to.be hoped for in anr human activity. You can be convinced that these words correspond with the opinion of tho whole German, people. "No land can have a deeper consciousness of the need for peace than Germany. After difficult years of hardship and distress she has collected all her powers, will carry, through'this recovery in peace, and only.demands from other lands tho same recognition, and respect for her vital rights which, she accords to them. ■ With her policy, which rests immovably on this basis, Germany will always ,be a sure guarantee of peace. "When you refer to tho difficulties and anxieties which resulted from the present situation I agree with you that they can very well be overcome by general good will. '•In tho relations between nations I see no problem which is incapabl* of an amicable solution if handled with insight; I refuse to believe'that good will is lacking today in any responsible quarter abroad. "The German people and their Government are, in any case, resolved to contribute their, share towards shaping of the relations between the nations which will secure successful co-opera-tion on the basis of equality of rights for all, and thereby alone guarantee the prosperity, and progress of mankind. May the New Year bring' us nearer to this lofty goal."
