RIBBENTROP BOASTS

AXIS MASTERS OF WHOLE SITUATION

WARNING TO ENGLAND AND AMERICA (Rec. 12.50 p.m.) London, Sept. 27. | “We are confident of winning th*' j battle for Stalingrad,” said Herr von Ribbentrop in a speech on the second anniversary of the three Power Pact. “When we take Stalingrad our most dangerous antagonist will suffer a blow from which he will never lecover. We are ready for more Dieppes. A second front attempt is no longer able to check Russia’s increasing paralysis.” Ribbentrop predicted greater efforts to prevent British and American supplies reaching Russia. “Two-thirds of Russia’s supplies of grain and meat, the whole of its sugar, and 60 per cent, ol its coal have been seized. Russia lost 90,000.000 inhabitants through our tern torial gains. Her losses in dead, wound ed and prisoners total about 14.000.000, Russia is nearing exhaustion in man power, food and raw materials. By the conquest of the Ukraine and Kuban the food situation for the whole of Europe was secured for the future. All Euiope is one armament factory working for us. Against the 190,000,000 people in England and America, from which they draw their skilled workers —plus tlie remainder of decimated Russian workers —the Axis have. 450, 000,000 at their disposal. The future will show whether Churchill’s bomb warfare against the civilian population was a good or a bad idea. Every single bomb and every home destroyed and every dead person makes the Germans more determined to make the British pay. The time will come when we will deal finally with this ‘British aii'craftcarrier off Europe.' The tripartite pact was concluded fii'stly as a warning to the United States. As Pi'esident Roosevelt and his Jewish warmongering clique continue to drive Americans against their will to war it is necessary they know with whom they have to deal. The Axis in every x-espect are now masters of the situation. The Russian war has not exhausted the Axis. On the contrai’y it has hardened them and made them secure everywhere. We shall continue striking against Russia until all danger threatening Europe from Bolshevism is abolished. In the Mediterranean and North Africa we shall give the British no rest. In western Europe large armies stand ready to nip in the bud all landing attempts. Time is now definitely working lor the tripartite Powers.”—P.A.
