It is said it will be the longest speech in his career. Statesmen within the know said the oration is addressed to the Reichstag and might include an in- vitation to Russia to conclude a nonagression pact. MAKES WORLD SPEECH BERLIN, May 21.—Late today, President Hitler told the world that the victors of the world war turn- ed their backs on the peace princi- pal alid down by President Wilson and as a result Germany was forc- ed to rearm although her greatest | desire was for peace and rrlendshm with her neighbors. The German President said, to this end, he proposed mutual non- aggression pacts with all of Ger- many's neighbors excepting Lithu- ania, but included Russia by in. ference. He said however, German, as the “bitterest and most fanati- cal” enemy of Bolshevism would not Join any general security pact that might compel the Nazis to fight on the side of Communism. Bomb Elimination President Hitler also proposed elimination of aerial bombs and fire and gas explosive bombs from | warfare declaring “we believe if the people of the world would unite Jjointly in destroying all their fire, gas and explosive bombs this woudd be a cheaper affair than destroy- ing each other. T cannot close my address better than by repeating our confession of faith in peace.” Hitler’s address, long awaited, came as a definite statement of Germany's relationship to the rest of the world. —eee— - POLICY IS TO BE DISCUSSED AT DRAMA MEETING Important Business Session of Club Scheduled for 7:30 This Evening Probably one of the most im- portant meetings in the history of the Juneau Drama Club's brief ex- istence will be called to order at 7:30 o'clock tonight in the Juneau High School auditorium.
