Europe Must Be Freed From Perpetual Threats Of Violence, Says Hitler-And Names England!
NAZIS STEAL THE ALLIES? THUNDER!
LONDON, Jan. 28 (Reuter).-A review of Nazi propaganda during the past month shows that it is developing steadily 011 one of its fundamental principles-accusing the Allies of the weakness the Nazis suffer from themselves.
This principle went into operation when the Nazis realised how greatly German sources of news were discredited. So the Nazis now proceed to try to discredit Allied news.
NAZI "WAR AIMS"
One of the most striking features of this has been on the subject of war and peace airns.
In the New Year message to the German people, Hitler decided to announce the German war aims. So he took over the war aims of the Allies!
Germany and Europe must be freed from violence and the perpetual threats which proceeded from England, he said.
This, comment semi-official circles in London, comes odd from the man who annexed Austria, seized Czecho- Slovakia and plunged Europe into war by attacking Poland.
