ANTI-BOLSHEVIST SPEECH

HITLER AT NUREMBERG ENTHUSIASTIC UECEPTIOH Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright NUREMBERG, September 11. Herr Hitler delivered a rousing speech last night to a crowd estimated at 150,000 people. Wave after wave of cheers rolled out as Herr Hitler said: “ Our only prayer all these years has been for external and internal peace that we may build .our Reich up after our own ideas, not after those of Bolshevist Jews. Should our enemies once more dare to attack they will be felled to the ground. We never hesitate to sacrifice our peace in order to put down disturbances to peace which the whole nation knows.”

REACTION AWAITED STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT POSSIBLE. NUREMBERG, September 13. Commenting on the anti-Russian tirades of the Nazi leaders, a personage in a high position in both old and new Germany admitted to the special correspondent of ‘ The Times ’ that these would have meant war within 24 hours in the days before 1914. Sow far the campaign would be allowed to gd would depend to some extent on world reaction to yesterday’s outburst, but it would not be surprising if Herr Hitler brought the crusade of anti-Bolshevist fury to a crescendo with some startling announcement. Germany’s first object was to secure a weakening of the Franco-Soviet pact. In any case, it was hoped to win Britain’s adherence to an anti-Bolshevist crusade under German leadership. Thus financial and economic support might be ensured for Germany where other arguments failed.

RUSSIA'S WEALTH MINERALS AND WHEAT. BERLIN, September 13. Significance of the view of the “ Drang Nach Osten ” doctrine attaches ,to Herr Hitler’s references to Russia during several speeches at Nuremberg. He said that, if Germany possessed the mineral wealth of the Urals and Siberia, and the wheatfields of the Ukraine, phe would, under the Nazi regime, swim in plenty instead of fighting for existence. These references recall his statements in his book, ‘ Mein Kampf,’ in Which ho says: “ When we speak of a new land we can think only of Russia. Fate itself seems to point the finger for us there. That gigantic country is tipe for dissolution. The end of Jewish rule in Russia will be the end of Russia as a State.” NOT TO FIGHT POSITION OP GERMAN WOMEN. NUREMBERG, September 12. Obviously alluding to women soldiers in the Soviet Red Army, Herr Hitler, addressing the Nazi women’s organisation, said; “ We shall see there will not be detachments of hand grenade girls and women sharpshooters and the like in Germany. From our standpoint, a woman who rears children and thus safeguards the existence of the future of our people has done more than any learned woman.” He ridiculed the view abroad that the German woman was being treated as a slave. “ What some people regard as a yoke is held by others to be a blessing. Nature acted wisely in allotting to man the task of protecting his family and his nation.” BECOMING PERSONAL DR GOEBBKLS CRITICISED. LONDON, September 12. The ‘ Daily Telegraph’s ’ Moscow correspondent reports that the newspaper ‘ Pravda ’ violently attacks Dr Goebbels, and says: “ This drawf with crooked legs and an enormous, twisted caricature«of a nose is a complete clinical specimen of the degenerate. We quite deliberately mention the ioathsom appearance of this chief theoretician of German Fascism, this apostle of the purity of the German race.” SOVIET ARMY FOR DEFENCE OF PEACE MOSCOW, September 13. (Received September 14, at 11 a.m.) At the termination of tho manoeuvres at Minsk General Urboravitch, commander of the troops, speaking at a dinner in honour of the foreign delegations, said: “ Our army is an army of peace for the defence of the country without an aggressive spirit, but in certain countries forces favouring war are at work, menacing tho whole world. We do not want war, but if forced we have a strong army able to defend us and to defend the cause of peace.” FRENCH MINISTER'S DECLARATION STANDING BY RUSSIA PARIS, September 13. (Received September 14, at noon.) M. Delbos, speaking at Bergerac, made it clear that France would not abandon the Franco-Russian pact or any other defensive alliance. She would oppose any attempt to transform Locarno into an anti-Soviet holy alliance. He added, in reference to Herr Hitler’s Nuremberg speeches: “It is not from us that appeals arise for arms or exhortations to ideological crusades

that would plunge Europe into fire and blood. We do not interfere with tihe international affairs of other countries, and will hot permit interference with ours.” GERMANY’S WISH FOR PEACE NUREMBERG, September 13. (Received September 14, at 11 a.m.) 'Addressing 150,000 Storm Troopers and 50,000 spectators, Herr Hitler said : “ We have only one wish, and that is to keep tjbe peace, but wo will never allow Germany to become Bolshevik.” LITTLE ENTENTE ALARMED INCREASED CO-OPERATION. LONDON, September 13. (Received September 14, at 1.30 p.m.) The Bratislava correspondent of ‘ The Times ’ says the most important event in the history of the voluntary confederation of Czechoslovakia, Rumania, and Yugoslavia, comprising 50,000,000 people to defend the national unity, is the meeting of their foreign Ministers.

After a consultation the President (Dr Benes) said the warlike speeches in Europe were causing these States urgently to overhaul their arrangements for military co-operation with one another and with France, to accelerate the mechanisation of their armies, the filling of Yugoslav reservoirs with Rumanian oil, and the arranging for continuous access to them. The violence of Germany’s attacks on the Czecho-Russian pact caused much misgiving, and compelled refutation of Dr Goebbel’s false statements about Russian aerodromes in Little Entente territory. GERMANY'S FEAR OF BOLSHEVISM NAZI FANATICISM EXPLAINED. NUREMBERG, September 13. (Received September 14, at 2.5 p.m.) Giving an audience to international journalists, Herr Hitler answered the expression of world-wide wonderment at the Nazi’s fanaticism against Bolshevism by stating: “It is our fear that the countries around us will succumb in rotation to the Bolshevist poison. We cannot be indifferent to it. After all, we are a European nation. We do not live in the moon. What happens in Europe concerns us. That Russia, of all countries, should seek to dominate Europe is something we Germans will never accept. A Europe dominated by a- Bolshevist bureaucracy would go under.”-
