HITLER’S HOPES

AN ULTIMATELY UNITED NATION EXISTENCE OF OPPOSITION ADMITTED. FAITH IN YOUTH MOVEMENT. (Independent Cable Service.) REICHENBERG, December 3. In an address here yesterday Herr Hitler admitted for the first time the existence of anti-Nazi opposition in Germany. “I know I had to offend innumerable people by taking away something dear to them, namely, faith in their former idols,” he said. “There are still people on the Left who say, ‘You can call me an idiot, but I remain a Communist,’ Likewise, there are people on the Right who say, ‘You cannot expect me to make contact with commoners, yet I am of noble descent.’ “I do not expect this of them, but they cannot expect me to despair- of Germany’s future. Let me say, ‘Remain what you are. You are getting older, but after you youth is growing up.’ ” , , He added that it was useless to rule a section of the nation with bayonets, because the manpowei’ thus employed must be missing from the fighting forces abroad. Explaining the training of youths, he declared that, after entering the youth organisations, the youths would never again be free during theii lifetime. They were happy, and all their prejudices disappeared. He added that after several generations nothing would remain of those who did not agree with Nazism. Germany would be strong, happy, united, unconquerable, and able to claim and take her rights from anybody. Herr Hitler made no reference directly to foreign affairs or the Jews. He stressed that the united Germany had shown that it would not yield to threats of blackmail, and declared that it had been most moderate in its frontier claims. I
