WARNING TO THE ALLIES

“Germany Will Live” Herr Hitler, referring to the Versailles Treaty, said warmongers at that time did not solve a single problem, but created numberless new problems. It was only a question of time before down-trodden Germany itself would rise once more and solve them. “Eighty-two million people want to live and will live, even if it does not suit the warmongers. The last war had no ultimate winner. Everybody wee the loeer. Thle le forgotten by the warmongers. "The world did not know what Germany had to sacrifice for Poland. All the territory then incorporated in Poland was exclusively the product of German industry and activity. Poland was incapable of maintaining this culture. “Nevertheless, I have always attempted to find a tolerable solution which might lead to an acceptable arrangement. I have striven to shape definite frontiers west and south to safeguard the future of peace and have made the same attempt in the east. Too Modest In Demands “I have tried to reconcile the economic demands of Poland with the German character in Danzig.

He added that a solution of the problem could have been reached at the end of August. “I waited and waited but nothing happened except Polish mobilisation. Patience should not be confused with weakness. The Poles were told that they were able to resist Germany and that they could rely on the help of other Powers. “Today it is said that the real problem is not Poland but the German regime. We have no war aim against Britain and France.” Herr Hitler referred scornfully to “foolish propaganda,” and said that if the destruction of his regime is the objective of Britain he would be “proud to be the object of their attack.” He declared that Russia and Germany would settle the Polish situation, resulting in the removal of tension, however determined, and would continue the war as long as they were forced to do so. The -word “surrender” would not be uttered even in six or seven years. Herr Hitler hinted that the restoration of Greater Germany had been completed. All parts of the Reich were now united. His speech ended at 6.25 p.m. with cries of “Heil, Hitler!”

even then peace could have been saved. “Britain refused the plans which II Duce worked out with France and myself and sent an ultimatum instead. “Now the Poles are defeated we hope to arrange a situation in which a tolerable solution will be found by reasonable means for the future, but those in the west need not imagine that It must always he so. If they want it otherwise they can have it.”
