HITLER DEFIANT
ALLIES BLAMED. RESPONSIBILITY FOR WAR. SOVIET PACT BOAST. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received January 3i, 1 p.m. BERLIN, Jan. 30. “England and France started the war, and I can only say to them that they will get all the war they want,” declared Hitler amid frantic cheering in a speech at the Sportspalast, which was broadcast throughout Germany. He added that the Allies wanted war last year, and did not want an understanding.
The first phase of this struggle was political, stated the Fuehrer. Germany for years had pursued a common policy with Italy, and this had not changed. “Italy and Germany are still close friends with common interests. Last year I attempted to forestall British attempts to start a world war. Bibleroading Chamberlain attempted to reach an agreement with atheist Stalin. I understand why Chamberlain is angry. I succeeded where he failed.”
