UNEXPURGATED "MEIN KAMPF"
New York, Jan. 2. Two publishers in the United States have announced that during the coming year they will bring out
a complete and “unexpurgated" edi- tion of "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler.
The edition will include all pas- sages relating to Germany's plan for expansion towards the East and all those in which the Fuehrer ex- pressed his hatred for France. These were cut out of the official English version upon Herr Hitler's instructions.
One of the publishers stated that he had decided. not to pay the Fuehrer for the author's rights, but that he would remit the sum to charity institutions.—Havas.
