1. No peace proposals are likely to be found acceptable unless they effectively free Europe from the menace of aggression.
In his speech to the Reichstag Hitler made his final bid for peace on Nazi terms.
He urged an international conference to draft the basis for permanent security
and disarmament.
He urged friendship between Great! Britain and Germany.

HITLER'S COUGH WENT AROUND THE WORLD
LONDON, Sept. § (Reuter).—A full version of Hitler's specch was supplied by "Reuter" to British papers without the British authorities considering it necessary for the censor even to see it beforehand..
This strikingly, contrasted with the German treatment of Mr. Chamberlain's last statement, which was only allowed to be clrculated in Germany in a mutlinted form after being heavily censored by the German censors. --
Listening to Hitler's speech, one was struck by the "new tone" In his delivery. The voice, for the most part appeared to be soft and fired, and at times he stopped to cough.
In its place is the following amend- ed orders

The references to Italy were note- and worthy for their vagueness, Signor Mussolini'a millory obliga tions to tier were never mentioned. The restoration of colonies would be an enormous concession from Deltain, for which Hitler offers no return save assurances of peaceful desires, which he has broken so often before.
