“NOT FEARFUL"

HITLER DECLARES HIMSELF CONFIDENT “AGAINST INCITEMENTS & CLAMOURERS.” WILL CERTAINLY NOT SURRENDER. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. MUNICH. February 25. Herr Hitler addressing 3000 members of the Nazi Old Guard on the nineteenth anniversary of the foundation of the Nazi Party, backed his confidence against incitements and clamourers abroad. “I knew no fear in 1920 and should be ashamed of myself and unworthy to be the leader oi a nation n r were fearful today,” said the Fuehrer. “They will not shake us up with threats. Should they, however, lead their peoples to the madness of fight, we will certainly not surrender.” DEFINITE STAND URGED BY LORD STONEHAVEN. ALL THAT GERMANY RESPECTS IS STRENGTH. LONDON, February 24. “We are the one country which shilly-shallies,” said Lord Stonehaven in a speech at Glasgow today. “The sooner we make a definite statement to Germany the sooner we can discuss our mutual interests. All you get from Germany by showing weakness is contempt. All she respects is strength. “Every country outside Britain holding German mandates has been willing to risk war by refusal to hand over the colonies. We should thank Signor Mussolini for proving that unless you are strong you are unsafe. Herr Hitler has also dispelled any doubts on the matter in Mr Chamberlain’s mind.”
