HITLER'S VAUNT

WORLD WILL BEND STRENGTH OF THIRD REICH LONDON, March 13. (Received March 14, at 12.15 p.m.) “ The world will recognise everything else and bend before the armed force of the Third Reich, The hour of final victory will come,” said Hitler in a speech at Linz. He declared that the present struggle would not differ by a hair’s breadth from the successful ending to the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. “ Mr Churchill a year ago was not quite clear about the firmness of the peoples of my home (Austria). I assured him that the time would come when he would know better. This time arrived; England, got a lesson, and I am of the impression that the firmness of the British brigades is not greater than that of Ostmark and the battalions of'Norway and France.”
