LEIPZIG, March 1.

"We hope there is growing appreciation abroad' of the injustice done to Germany regarding colonies, and that it will result in the mandatory Powers making the gesture ' we\ expect, and which Germany has a right to demand," declared Herr yon Ribbentrop, addressing the Nazi Economic Council at Leipzig Fair in a speech which it is believed he made with the full understanding of Herr Hitler.

Herr yon Ribbentrop declared that it is in the interests of all countries to remove the world-wide unrest created by this injustice. The remedy, he said, can be found either by solving the problem of returning Germany's colonies or by Germany's own strength.

Herr yon' Ribbentrop denied that Germany would use colonies for strategical purposes. A feature of the Leipzig Fair is the German Dye Trust's wide range of synthetic substitutes for wool and cotton, many of which hitherto have not been revealed, and also a.process of rendering wool fabrics immune against moths.
