WORLD TENSION

INTERNATIONAL PRESS BLAMED

USE OF WIRELESS PROPAGANDA HITLER’S SPEECH AT BERLIN Ili.l* A.-Bv Electric Telegraph—Copyright! (Received 31st January. 2.0 p.m.) BERLIN, 30th January. “If there is any tension in the world to-day it is almost exclusively due to the agitation of the irresponsible international press which insists on agitating , racking the nerves of unhappy mankind. Attempts were made in the last few months to use wireless for these criminal designs. If these broadcasts into Germany don’t desist we shall soon reply thereto in kind " Herr Hitler described the Polo-Ger-man agreement as a constructive contribution to peace, and referred to the friendly relations with Rumania. Turkey and Greece. He hoped Czechoslovakia would find peace and not relapse into the tendencies of the Benes regime.

“Our relations with the United States suffer from a campaign of calumny for which the Jewish press is responsible. I am convinced that the campaign does not represent the feelings of millions of the inhabitants. Germany wishes to live in peace and friendship with America, as with other countries, but iust as we do not intend to meddle in American affairs, we forbid Americans to meddle in German affairs.”
