Hitler Answers FDR Point by Point

ADOLF HITLER S
ANSWER TO
ROOSEVELT
BERLIN, April 23 <JP)—Hitler
announced denunciation of Ger
many's naval treaty with Eng
land and her ten year non-aggres
aion pact with Poland, in a two
hour seventeen minute oration,
which replied point by point to
President Roosevelt's April 15th
peace appeal.
Addressing the Reichstag, Hit
ler offered assurances “of the1
Jcind desired by Mr. Roosevelt,
on condition of absolute recip-j
rocity, provided the state wishes
it, and itself is addressed to Ger
many, request such assurance of
t on-aggression.”
Specifically he gave “an as-!
surance regarding those terri
tories which would after all give
him, Roosevelt, most cause for
apprehension, namely, the Unit
ed States itself and other states
on the American continent.”
Countries Feel No Menace
Hitler made a long 21-ipoint
analysis of the President’s mes
sage which appealed for German
Italian pledges for the 31 states
involved, in which he countered
with his own views the points
raised by President Roosevelt.
Some of these states he said he
had asked whether they felt
themselves menaced and added,
“the reply in all cases was neg
ative and in some cases strong
ly so.”
When Hitler finished speaking
at 5:26 a m. P. S. T. his voice was .
still strong.
Four minutes later Field Mar
shal Goering declared the session
closed and Hitler left amid thun
derous “Heils” from the deputies.
British ’War Mongers’
Hitler laid the blame on the
British “war mongers” and also'
on Poland’s calling up of troops
for his cancellation of the two
agreements. He contended that!
Poland rejected, just after the soil j
ution of itthe problem of the Dan-;
zig-Polish corridor.
In announcing .his decision on |
the ten-year non-aggression ag- \
gTeement of 1934 with Poland!
had been infringed, Hitler omin- j
ously referred to the fate of |
Czechoslovakia by saying: “TheI
worst is, that now Poland, Jikf.I:
Czeuhoslovakia a year ago, be
ltevcs<jl under pressure of lying
thru an international campaign',
that it must call up troops, al-;
though Germany on her .pact has
not called up a single man, nor
thought of proceeding in any
way against Poland.’'
Merely Restores Lost Property

Hitljer said: “I merely restored to
the German people, what others
lhad broken by force. I have not,
taken any step that violated any
foreign rights, but have merely
restored rights which were vio
lated 20 years ago, and provi
dence has let me find ways for
liberating our people from the
deepest misery without blood
shed, and for leading them up
ward again.”
Asks Return German Colonies

F. D. R. Asked Do Noble Act
At $o/lriF Hitler addressed
Roosevelt: “I would appreciate
it very much if you, Mr. Roose
velt, as one of the sueoesors of
the late President Wilson, were
to deyojte yoyrsglf to.pe^jjig these
promises, be at least redeemed,

extorted from Germany, as so

word that German colonies
