(United Press Association—By Electric '*■ Telegraph—Copyright,) | (Received September 7, 9.40 a.xa.)] ' NUREMBERG, September 6. Herr Hitler's proclamation at the ! Nuremberg congress, read today by jthe Fuhrer's "radio double," Herr Adolf Wagner, in the presence of 20,000 party delegates from all parts of Germany, did not mention the Sudeten Germans. The speech seemed *o indicate that the keynote of the congress will be celebration of the year's triumphs, , notably the annexation of Austria. "I have no intention of concluding new pacts," Herr Hitler declared. "I step before you not with a pact, but with seven new German provinces." He went on to welcome the Austrian delegates, "who are among us - ■ for the first time." TREATY SHACKLES UNFASTENED. He traced the growth of the Nazi Party, declaring that the nation had > been cleansed of parasites and had begun a struggle against the greatest enemy which was threatening to destroy Germany—international Jewry, Tremendous armed forces protected the Reich by land, sea, and air. The Nazis had succeeded in unfastening shackle after shackle of the Peace Treaties, which were intended to destroy Germany for all time. "English newspaper reports that X * am burning with a desire to conclude a pact with several nations are false." declared Herr Hitler. "At present we have only two economic worries/ namely, insufficient men trained for industry and insufficient men for agricultural work." The proclamation, glorified the courage and heroism, of the common soldier, contrasted it with the alleged . cowardice of the leaders in the Great War, and declared .that the attempt to rebuild Germany demanded the exter* mination of the old leaders. "The establishment of the Nazi organisation in Ostmark [Austria! ia complete," the Fuhrer declared. "Unemployment will be completely overcome by "the end of 1939. The united .', Germany will continue to cling to ■principle. It would rather suffer restrictions than again depend "on for-' eign countries for supplies. The. security of the nation must be placed before - everything. The idea that Germany ' can be blockaded can be abandoned . as a • totally ineffectual weapon. We * have-been blessed with a good harvest and have large reserves of grain which will'free us for years ahead'from'food anxieties. "Germany is deeply gratified that another great world Power, acting on , her own experience and by her own decision, is practising the same • . anti-Jewish doctrine^ with admirable energy."- .
