chuckled occasionally.

Mr. Roosevelt's remarks. He also de-

day with Gov. George Wilson of Iowa.
Willkie said he wanted to get addi-

The talk will be delivered about Au-

Robert R McCormick, publisher of

ways has been, the best infantry in
the world ’’
"In thia war. the German tank
corps has won a place in history. . . .
AU other troops deservs the highest
praise."
"The air force, at dawn on May
10. thousands of fighter pianos and
dive bombers swept down on enemy
air bases. In the space of a few days
our air superiority was established
and it never was relinquished.’’
He said "the air force was under
the command of the marshal fOoer-
ing)" and without it any bravery of
land forces would have been in vain.
Besides those in active army serv-
loe. Hitler lauded those officers and
men behind the lines who served the
government in sseonttal Jobs.
The full results of the operations
of the German navy, he aaid. could
not be given before the end of the war.
(toering Gels Heaers
Hitler, too. praised the National
Socialist party and said It was re-
sponsible for the upbuilding at the
German army and "created that unity
between the army at the front and
the home front essential for succeaa
and which was lacking in the last
war.”
In this connection again, he pointed
to individuals for special praise.
The name of Von Ribbentrop, our
foreign minister, vein always bo con-
nected with the German rebirth
"My party colleague Goering would
never be "forgotten by the German
people for his building of the German
air force."
A tremendous cheer went up when
he conferred on Gtiering the grand
cross and the iron cross and the title
of marshal of the retch.
There were more cheers when Hit-
ler announced promotions in the army
for several generals to field marshals.
“War Thrust 4>n Germany”
More officers were promoted to the
rank of colonel general—the an-
nouncement of each individual pro-
motion bringing forth cheers.
“I cannot conclude my survey with-
out mention of our ally." Hitler said,
and then referred to the co-operation
of Italy. He said he had worked also
tor friendship with Enziajid
"I regret I was not successful de-
spite all my efforts '*
He was proud, he said, to be a
friend of Mussolini Since the birth
' of the revolution, the only words of
understanding had come from Italy,
he added
"This war was thrust on Germany
against my wish and desire." he said,
but the advantages from being allied
with Italy were many, both econom-
ically and from a military standpoint.
"Italy's entry into the war played a
part in hastening France's realitatton J

would be unavailing
Italy was continuing, be said, to deal
heavy blows against Britain

On the tenth of May. two German
armies “were ready for the attack

Here again he detailed Um move-

arms, be added, was the only pos-
sibility in a position that was "un-

Understanding on Balkans
He Mid thia apparently was wishful
thinking that Russia and Germany
would come to a parting of the ways
Russia's movements tn the Balkan
countries caused Hitler, he said, to dis-
cuss the subject with Russia and this
discussion brought about a new un-
derstanding regarding our sphere of
influence.
Therefore Britain's hopes of stirring
up trouble tn thio way would be futile.
He referred again to his October 8
offer of peace to the allies and said
that "tn neither thia world nor the
next can Churchill and Reynaud
answer for the suffering they have
brought on their peoples '*
"From Britain I now beer only a
single cry—not from the people but
the politicians—that the war must
go on " ?
He felt only "disgust,** he Mid, at
the necessity of ^ar*dng one, the war.

any reprisals.
"But this does not mean this will

Our answer some day will bring un-
told misery—but not on Mr. Churchill
because he undoubtedly will already
be In Canada.
Mid the end would mean only
the "complete annihilation” of one of
the other of the two adversaries and
he knew, he declared, this would be
Great Britain.
He thus was making one more ap-
peal for peace—not as the vanquished
but as the victor.
"Possibly Mr. Churchill will again

Hitter began speaking at 7 :M p. m.
(110S a. m. Central time), after Um
reiehstag had risen in honase to the
German and Italian war dead.
"There is no ground for the pro-
longation of Um war." he said. "The
British statesmen probably have no

earnest against the British fates.
“ChurchiU would not dare to face
the music. The people left behind
in London would have quite a differ-
ent conception than that of a gov-
ernment which bad fled to Canada.
"Once mors I will attempt to to •

that "world empire will be destroyed'

it is Germany which faces destruction

Finland the Balkan states and
Belgium were among these nations
which were to be used for their own
purposes Hitler mid.
"These same criminals were
sponsible for tending Poland

He recalled he had “warned" Brit-
ain and France after the Polish cam-
paign “not to continue this war."
Hs Mid he was ' soused" as a cow-
ard because of these peace proposals;
thus this "capitalist clique of war-
mongers. with a personal stake in the
war" caused the conflict to continue
"Vhite this Anclo-French war

Along about March, we learned of
intentions by the allies to get bases in

and to obtain access to Swedish snd
Norwegian mines

Rusal and Finland caused these in-

However, plans were taken up by
the allies a few days later. Hitler Mid.
to pursue the northern campaign.
Germany learned of the plans, he de-
clared. because of the "verbosity of
the first lord of the admiralty (Win-
ston Churchill) now British premier”
and French Premier Reynaud.
The dispatch of minelayers to Nor-
wegian waters, he said, removed any
doubt of the British intention to oc-
cupy Norway
He then reviewed the opening of the
conflict in Norway. He Mid Germany
