PACTS NOT WANTED

HITLER’S PROCLAMATION AT NUREMBERG Celebrations of Year’s Triumphs “SEVEN NEW GERMAN PROVINCES” By Telegraph.—Press Association. —Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.15 a.m.) NUREMBERG, September 6. Herr Hitler’s proclamation at the Nuremberg congress, which was read today by the Fuehrer’s “radio double,” Adolf Wagner, in the presence of 20,000 party delegates from all parts of Germany, did not mention the Sudetens. The speech seemed to indicate that the keynote of the congress will be the celebration of the year’s triumphs, notably the annexation of Austria. Hitler declared: “I have no intention of concluding new pacts. I step before you, not with a pact, but with seven new German provinces.” He went on to welcome the Austrian delegates, “who are among us for the first time.”

SHACKLES BROKEN

SOME SOUNDING CLAIMS ONLY TWO ECONOMIC WORRIES. BLOCKADE DECLARED TO BE IMPOSSIBLE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. (Recd This Day, 10.10 a.m.) NUREMBERG, September 6. In his proclamation, Herr Hitler traced the growth of the Nazi party, declaring that the nation had been cleansed of parasites and had begun a struggle against the greatest enemy threatening to destroy Germany—international Jewry. Tremendous armed forces protected the Reich, by land, sea and air. The Nazis had succeeded in unfastening shackle after shackle of the peace treaties, which were intended to destroy Germany for all .time. Herr Hitler added: “English newspaper reports that I have a burning

desire to conclude pacts with several nations are false. We at present have only two economic worries, namely, insufficient men trained for industry and insufficient for agricultural work. The proclamation glorified the courage and heroism of the common soldier, contrasted it with the alleged cowardice of the leaders in Great War and declared that any attempt to rebuild Germany demanded the extermination of the old leaders. “The establishment of the Nazi organisation in Ostmark (Austria) (Hitler declared) is complete and unemployment will be completely overcome by the end of 1939. United Germany will continue to cling to principle and rather suffer restrictions than again depend on foreign countries for supplies. The security of nation must be placed before everything. The idea that Germany can be blockaded can be abandoned as a totally ineffectual weapon. We have been blessed with a good harvest and have large reserves of grain which will free us for years ahead from food anxieties. Germany is deeply gratified that another great world Power is acting on her own experience and by its own decision is practising the same anti-Jewish doctrine with admirable energy.”
