GERMAN OPINIONS
OLYMPIC JOURNALISTS
BERLIN, July 31.
The special correspondent of the Australian Associated Press reports that at a dinner in honour of 1200 international journalists, photographers, and broadcast announcers who are attending the Olympic Games, the Minister of Propaganda, Dr.1 Goebbels, said: "As we respect your opinions it is only just you should respect ours in the new Germany. That is a response which all journalists, whether from democratic or autocratic countries, should make. We' have been reproached for employing the Olympic Games as political propaganda. As Minister of Propaganda I know of no such intention, but. we want you to see for yourselves, and you will see smiling faces everywhere. We have been' reproached for not allowing a free public opinion. You will realise we have more important things to do than giving absolute liberty.. You will see what the new Germany wants. I hope the Olympic festival will be a contribution to the peace and happiness of the nations."
