DESTRUCTION OF NAZISM

"FOOLISH PROPAGANDA"

WARNING TO ALLIES

BOMBING OF GERMAN CITIES

(Received September 20, 9 a.m.)

NEW YORK, September 19

A report from Danzig states that a grey army car carried Herr Hitler through tremendous crowds in the Lange Market Place, which was the scene of his speech.

Herr Hitler began to speak at 5.16 p.m. after Herr Foerster had made a brief speech of welcome. "This soil will remain German," said the Fuhrer. "The fate of this city 'has been the fate of Germany." Attacking the Versailles Treaty, he repeated his assertions that it would never happen again. A solution of tht Danzig problem could have been reached at the end of August ' "'I waited and waited," he said, "but nothing- happened except the Polish mobilisation. Patience should not be confused with weakness. The Poles were told they were able to resist Germany. They were told they could rf'-' on the help of other Powers. Today it is said that the real p.^blem is not Poland but the German regime." He referred scornfully to "foolish propaganda," and said that if the destruction of his regime was the objective of Britain he was "proud to be the object of their attack." "We have no war aim against Britain and France," he said.

He warned Britain and France that for every bomb which was dropped on a German city the Nazis would drop five on British and French cities.

Russia and Germany would settle the Polish situation and remove tension. However, he was determined to continue the war as long as he was forced t do so. The word surrender would not be uttered -even in six or seven years of war, He hinted that the restoration of Greater Germany had been completed. "All parts of the Reich are now united." he said. He concluded his speech^at 6.25 p.m. amidst cries of "Sieg heil."
