ACCORDING TO THE AMSTERDAM, MARCH 3 (REUTER), BERLIN CORRESPONDENT OF THE "TELEGRAAF”, HITLER. LAID A FIVE-POINT programme before mr. sumner WELLES DURING YESTERDAY'S INTERVIEW.
The correspondent states that Mr. Sumner Welles was told that before Germany laid down her arms she must see the following conditions fulfilled:
1.-A permanent German grip on Bohemia, Moravia and Poland (the retention
of Austria was regarded as going without saying).
2. The renunciation by Britain of her claim "to intrigue or exercise any
influence in Scandinavia."
3. The disappearance of Britain's "pirate lairs" at. Malta, Gibraltar and
Singapore.
4-A "Monroe doctrine" for Germany in Central Europe.
5. The return of Germany's colonies.
Apart from the war, Hitler, it is understood, urged very strongly
that an American Ambassador be sent to Berlin again.
