DOPE FOR GERMANS
HITLER'S MESSAGE. LONDON, Dec. 31
Hitler in a New Vear message to the Reich states: "When Churchill in July and August, 1940, rejected my peace ' offers, the decisive factor was not so much the promised deliveries of American war goods as assurances of a Soviet entry into the war." Hitler described President Roosevelt as the greatest warmonger of all time. Referring to tho attack on Russia, he said: "I would rather have chosen peace than war. Peace meant an abundance of happy tasks for me, and I regret this war not only because of the sacrifices and the cost to Germany and other nations but also for the time taken from those planning social and civilising works. Japan, tired of the eternal American extortions and threats, is now acting in self-defence. Tremendous tasks are, before us, but we will fulfill them. We only pray that. God grant the German people and soldiers the strength to support all the necessary safeguard their liberty and future. Goebbels concluded an order to the army with the words: "The bloodshedding of this war shall, last in Europe for generations. May God help us in. the coming year!"
