BITTERLY denouncing President Roosevelt's alleged intervention in Ger- many's politics, Herr Hitler in eagerly-awaited Reichstag speech to- morrow will deny the need of replying formally to the open questionnaire from the American Executive, according to well-informed quarters.
The Fuehrer's lengthy speech has already been drafted. It is now undergoing translation into English, French and Italian.
:
The speech will last an hour and a half. FOUR POINTS
It is understood that Herr Hitler's speech will stress the following four points:
The Fuehrer will enumerate Germany's achieve- ments during the past six years of Nazi rule for positive contribution towards world peace through proposals for disarmament, non-aggression pacts, and the security of international frontier.
Herr Hitler will point out that the United States during the past years maintained the attitude of uphold- ing the Versailles Treaty, which is "the enemy of world- peace". He will charge that America has actually failed to make any contribution towards world peace. ANOTHER "SCRAP OF PAPER"
