Hitler Continues His Boastings

FROM PAGE ONE

Bulgaria, Rumania, Yugo-Slavia, Finland and Switzerland. Many Relch Ministers and Gauleiters were present in the Munich Beer Collor. "I have studied the Versailles Treaty as no other man did," ox- elaimed Hitler. "I have not forgot- ten it even to-day."

Not Fleecing Others Exclaiming that Germany was not fleecing others but was following a form of economy which was of use to Germany, litier said: "States cannot be built on capitalism. Those who think that they can prevent the rising of the people by waging war will find that they have only speeded It up. It will not be the gold standard which will emerge from the war."

After speaking for 45 minutes, Iler's histories review had rench- ed the year 1923.

Relations With Mussolini Referring to his relations with Mussolini, Hitler said: "When I have chosen a man, I stick to him. The bond which unites nur revolutions Is insoluble, and it is the same with two men. If there is a time when one of them is better off and the other worse off, the former will help the latter because .Is the common enemy that we are going to defeat." "Numerous warships are tied up in the Mediterranean. Numerous British planes are tied up in North Africa. Numerous British land forces are also tied up and it is only now that our sea warfare will start. We have been waiting for our new U-boats.

Fantastic ClaimTM LONDON. Feb. 24 (Reuter)- Hitler's claim to have sunk 200,000 tons of shipping is described by authoritative quarters here DS from fantastic and as far removed the truth as such German munge. ments have usually proved to be.

It is recalled that the Germans claimed to have sunk the whole Jervis Bay convoy of 88,000 tons but In fact 33 out of the 38 ships came safely to port.
