HERR HITLER’S LEADERSHIP
GERMAN READERS’ VIEW A TREATY SIGNED 20 YEARS' AGO TO-DAY The following are extra, is from letters written by German readers of The Times Weekly Edition" living in Bremen and | Salzburg. Hie first says : j I very often read letters to the Editor, j in which Englishmen write about the opinion of the Germans, that of these only a part are standing behind our Fulner. This |is a great error. Those English writers i surely have not had die real cotmnunica- | tion in Germany with the whole mass. | The German foik will never forget how ! severely it has suffered through the in st i nnient of Versailles, dictated especially j by the British and French Governments. ■| It took many mouths for the Allies to j make up the about 500 chapters of this | :j Document, but within two days only the I German delegates were bound to sign the j unjustified chapters. lam a member i 'of a large shipping company and have resijl j | fo>- many years English newspapers, but | i never have learnt that these have acquaint- j ;ed the British public with something of j ! i he contents of the dictate of Versailles. ; |Therefore, the folk of the Allies were never | j in n position to make .themselves a pic- I j Hire of misery, and consequently they are j I no* able t.. 0 judge about what had happenjcd since 1933.

There is no man in tlie whole of Germany who does not stand behind our Fuhrer, and I e' ery man is proud that he has made Germany great and happy again. The Germans no doubt, would welcome it if Groat Britain and Germany ultimately would come to an agreement together for a long pinco. Germany has douu nothin; so far against England, but only tried to free it.

The second letter says : I just read a letter in "The Times Weekly Edition’’ in which the question is raised how far the German nation were pit-pa red to follow their leadership.

There may also !»•■* some grumbling about provisions, which do not always suit everybody's taste. But on the whole ths.-e is, and I dare Sav there will be in the future, a united nation behind their rulers, even i f I here “gureiiess of touch” should fail tiie inoiice.
