Evolution Not Revolution
HITLER’S PROCLAMATION AT NUREMBERG CONGRESS United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. NUREMBERG, Sept. 5. In sweltering heat, 15,000 brownuniformed Nazis packed the vast Luitpold Hail, decorated with colossal swastikas, when Herr Hess formally opened the Nazi Congress. Ilcrr Hitler, accompanied by his lieutenants, entered amid a roar of cheering. Herr Hess, after paying a tribute to the late President Ilindenburg, reaffirmed the declaration that Herr Hitler, whom he effusively praised, was sole director of the party. That evolution, not revolution, must be the Nazi watchword henceforward, was the keynote of a proclamation composed by Herr Kitl'cr and read by Herr Adolf Wagner. The revolution had fulfilled all expectations, but it was necessary to warn fanatics that revolution had now concluded, and there would be no more German revolutions for a thousand years. The Nazi movement had completely mastered Germany. He ashed: '‘Who dares contend that the Nazi leaders aro not the cream of the movement? The leaders therefore are determind to maintain their power, not surrendering it to anybody." The proclamation proceeded to state that the army’s position as sole arms bearer provided the final security for the new State. “Therefore," it said, "our enemies’ pleasure in regarding four million ‘Noes’ as a source of danger makes us smile. We have done everything possible to seek the friendship of our war-time opponents, realising that a new European war would inevitably produce a Communist chaos.” Tho proclamation claimed that the unemployed had been reduced by 4,500,000. The Nazis were determined to build up one great Evangelical Church, and also hoped to reach a complete understanding with the Vatican.
