KEY LOWERED
HITLER BOASTING TALK TO REICHSTAG BOMBING PLEDGE RISING BRITISH RATIO (Klee. Tel. Copyright—United Tress Assn.) i Reed. May (5. 2.15 p.m.) LONDON, May 5. The Daily Telegraph says that llerr Hitler’.--, speech to the Reichstag was pitched on a perceptibly lower key than might have been expected when he was celebrating his victory in the Balkans. “The statistics of the German casualties were obviously compiled in order to present a comforting contrast to the British estimates,” continues the Telegraph. i "U seems that Herr Hitler felt compelled to reassure the Germans regarding the increasing British bombs. Herr Hitler last September threatened that Germany would drop 100 bombs for every one British bomb. The truth is that he is unable to-day to drop two to one, and the cine is certainly coming when, as Mr. Churchill predicted last week. Britain will be dropping three for every one dropped on Britain."
