HITLER’S SPEECH IN THE REICHSTAG
REPUDIATION OF GERMANY’S GUILT IN GREAT WAR. COLONIES WANTED FOR ECONOMIC REASONS, NOT FOR MILITARY PURPOSES. WAR WITH FRANCE IS NOT CONCEIVABLE. Berlin was en fete for Herr Hitler’s appearance at the Reichstag on Saturday. With pomp and military splendour surpassing even that of the Hohenzollern regime, the Fuhrer made his way to the Reichstag for his eagerly-awaited address.
Hitler declared that Germany wanted peace. There was no problem with France that could not be solved, and there was no point in dispute between the two nations. European peace depended on eight points, including the reform of the League of Nations into an evolutionary body.
Germany had no colonial claims except on countries which had taken colonies from her. She wanted colonies for economic reasons, not for military purposes, and did not intend to pursue any policy of isolation.
While the sympathies of Germany went to General Franco in the Spanish trouble, Hitler declared that Germany would do everything towards peace. German armaments would be decided by Germany.
