GERMANY S PROTECTION’ HITLER’S NEW GOSPEL BRAINPOWER DETHRONED .By Telegraph-Press Association—Copyright) Received July 31, 9.5 p.m. BERLIN, July 31. Addressing thousands of athletes at the Htuttgart festival, Herr Hitler lauded muscle before brain. He declared (hat the intellectuals were without physical strength and courage, and were apt to become mere schoolmasters, threatening the nation with decay. The Reich was based on muscle, and strong men were Germany’s protectors, not philosophers. GERMAN ’PLANES FLIGHTS OVER AUSTRIA. Received July 31, 10.50 p.m. VIENNA, July 30. Commenting on the German 'planes which have been seen repeatedly flying over Austria dropping leaflets denouncing Dr. Dollfuss, despite official protests, the Government organ Reichspost expresses the opinion that Germany is deliberately trying to force Austria to appeal to the League, which Germany will use as propaganda denouncing Austria for appealing to an international body against her “German brother.” REICHSTAG “INCENDIARIES” QUESTION OF THEIR DEFENCE SIR S. CRIPPS’ SERVICES Received July 31, (5.50 p.m. LEIPZIG, July 31. The Government has instructed Doctors Seuffert, Huber and Tcichert to defend the Reichstag “incendiaries.” 'These do not include Dr. Ehlirs, who has informed Sir Stafford Cripps that the Government does not object to his acceptance of Sir Stafford Cripps’ invitation to undertake his defence. The German public is unaware of Sir Stafford Cripps’ action because the press refrains from publishing such information, still more the suggestion that the “incendiaries” will not be fairly tried because no lawyer would dare to whole-heartedly defend them. HITLERISM CONDEMNED TRADES UNION CONGRESS BRUSSELS, July 30. Mr. Citrine, opening the Federated Trade Union’s Congress, expressed whole-hearted approval of President Roosevelt’s drive to adjust hours and wages. He trenchantly attacked Hitlerism and Fascism, declaring: “We meet in the shadow of a great tragedy symbolised by the absence of German trade unionists, many of whom have been brutally maltreated, imprisoned or exiled. The German workers art gripped by a more ruthless Govern inent than the militaristic autocracy which they overthrew in 1918. World opinion is outraged by Nazi brutality. We must not rest until Hitlerism and Fascism are overthrown. Unchecked Fascism means war. “The world unemployed now tota. 30,000,000. Production has fallen, international trade has declined, and prices have decreased. The only way of overcoming the crisis is international co-operation, which, owing tc the power of economic nationalism, the World Conference failed to secure. The nations must resume discussions, but needless suffering would have been avoided had the conferring nations foregone national egotism.”
