This Party Congress would take as its theme the great pro and con- tra of this century-Bolshevism and National Socialism.

The young German Army was a guarantee against Bolshevist militarism. They all, declared Hess in con- clusion, thanked Adolf Hitler for making the Party and the Army strong, and Germany a bulwark of peace.

Stating that there could not be any better occasion than the Party Rally, for reviewing what had been ahieved in the present year, Hitler declared in his proclamation that they could be particularly proud of the last year and the disturbed state of the world around them was the best justification for their actions.

"In 1933 our National Socialist Party was entrusted with the Government of the Reichs after 14 years of struggle, and what won- ders have been performed in those four years since. Was this a real revolution or was it hot? Is the revolution justified for the nation
