VAPOURING TALK

RIBBENTROP ON WAR OUTLOOK ALL SAID TO I BE WELL WITH AXIS. HOPE OF PARALYSING RUSSIA. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.50 p.m.) LONDON, Septemoer 27. “We are confident of winning the battle for Stalingrad,” said Ribbentrop, in a speech on the second anniversary of" the Three-Power Pact. “When we take Stalingrad our most dangerous antagonist will suffer a blow from which he will never recover. We are ready for more Dieppes. A second front attempt will no longer be able to check Russia’s increasing paralysis.” Ribbentrop predicted greater efforts to prevent British and American supplies reaching Russia. “Two-thirds of Russia’s supplies of grain and meat, the whole of its sugar and 60 per cent of its coal have been seized,” he said. “Russia has lost ninety million inhabitants through our territorial gains. Her losses in dead, wounded and prisoners total about fourteen millions. Russia is nearing exhaustion in manpower, food and raw materials. By the conquest of the Ukraine and the Kuban, the food situation for the whole of Europe has been secured. For the future all Europe will be one armament factory, working for us. Against the 190 million people of England and America, from which they draw skilled workers—plus the remainder of the decimated Russian workers—the Axis have 450 millions at their disposal. The future will show whether Churchill’s bojnb warfare against the civilian population was a good or bad idea. Every single bomb, every home destroyed, every dead person, makes Germans more determined to make the British pay. The time will come when we shall deal finally with this ‘British aircraft-carrier off Europe. The Tripartite Pact was concluded firstly as a warning to the United States. As Roosevelt and his Jewish warmongering clique continues to drive Americans against their will w war, it is necessary that they should know with whom they have to deal. The Axis in everv respect now masters the situation. The Russian war has not exhausted the Axis. On the contrary it has hardened them and made them secure everywhere. We ..snail continue striking against Russia until all danger threatening Europe from Bolshevism is abolished. In the Mediterranean and North Africa we shall give the British no rest. In Western Europe large armies stand ready to nip in the bud all landing attempts. Time is now definitely working for the Tripartite Powers.
