Hitler's Bombastic Words To The World
SPECIAL TO THE “TELEGRAPH”
DANZIG, Sept. 19 (UP).-Hitler, the madman of central Europe, to-night launched a fana- tical speech in which offers of peace on Germany's own terms and threats of barbarism with "a weapon not yet known, with which we could not ourselves be attacked" were combined.
If Britain and France do not accept Germany's terms for peace, the Nazis are prepared, he said, to fight for three, four, five or six years.
Danzig Germans cheered madly as their Feuhrer told them that Germany was in agreement with Russia that Poland should never rise again.
"We both want a lasting peace in Europe," Hitler some- what ironically dis- claimed.
