leaked out that lor adolt adolf hitler hiller would celebrate Nazi doms sixth anniversary with a speech every able tongued states man in europe hastened to speak first because there was well found ed evidence that hitler would on announce a new program of german aggression for 1939 since france Is being hounded for territorial concessions by germanys germanas Germ anys ally italy and since great

honor ond and independence ot of the nation are arc safeguarded by the party and the now new german garman defense power these were fighting words but neither either france nor britain was willing to fight back two days before hitler spoke british prima minister neville chamberlain gave his speech indicating that far from being stronger britain will resist dictatorships ships only under the most unlikely emergencies peace could only be endangered by ade n demand to dominate the world by force this means that little by little mr chamberlain Is willing to concede to italo german demands completely ignored were the spanish situation and italian claims against france the same day french foreign minister georges bonnet hastened 10 to make his hig peace with dictators regardless of the

tin an immediate resumption of italian claims against france though france and britain may interpret it with tongue in cheek check war against italy means aggression against italy which Is farthest from democratic thoughts though hoping hitler meant to infer that he would novas not assist slit in aggression by italy ipaty london and paris knew tills was a futile hope on other demands allied reparations demands against germany after the world war were unreasonable and irresponsible hence germany has been forced to make moro more competitive efforts in the world market hinting at almost anything dor der fuehrer dropped 4 the remark that forceful redistribution of the worlds riches was inevitable from time to time on internal Af affairs lairs the battle to overcome the extremely grave economic condition has been won with a terrific fight but must go on from such a speech only one con elusion could be drawn that tile the rome berlin axis will devote 1939 to pressing clearly defined demands against france and britain before the latter two nations have time to bring their armed strength up to par after colonies have been restored after italy has won her claims against france it
