FEARS FOR HITLER

GENERAL GOERING’S WARNING LEADER NEEDS PROTECTION DANGER OF ASSASSINATION (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) BERLIN, March 16. Commemorating the second anniversary of Hitler’s introduction of conscription, General Goering made the first public reference to the danger of assassination of Hitler and his associates. He declared: “I say to all who see the last chance of overthrowing Germany in murder and desperate attempts on our lives that the passionate love of the entire people forms a wall of defence around the leader and his trusted followers. Wee to him who plays with fire.” All stations broadcast rhe speech, but the official news agency unfitted this portion. MANY ARRESTS MADE THOSE OUTSPOKEN AGAINST THE REGIME BASLE, March 16. The newspaper Nachrichten’s Berlin correspondent reports a round-up of leading industrialists and others connected with steel helmets. Those arrested allegedly expressed disapproval of the Hitler regime, and were also in close touch with the Hohenzollerns. DR. PAULS TUERMER ARREST AT BASLE LONDON, March 16. Partly confirming the Basle report, a message from Berlin states that secret police arrested Dr. Pauls Tue:mer, a former member of the old National Steel Helmet Organisation. ANTI-NAZI STUDENTS DEMONSTRATION IN LONDON GERMAN AMBASSADOR TAKES NO NOTICE. Received March 17. 8.40 p.m. LONDON, March 16. One hundred students from the London University paraded in pouring rain with anti-Nazi and antiFascist banners to await the arrival of Herr von Ribbentrop, who was presenting Germany’s gift of books to the Institute of Historical Research.
