SUSPEND WORK WHILE GERMANY TUNES IN HITLER

Nearly Every Citizen Above 12 Listens; Placards Warn of Spies.

BERLIN, April 28 (U. P.)—Normal week-day activity stopped throughout the Reich today as the 888 members of the Reichstag in the Kroll Opera House heard Fuehrer Adolph Hitler answer President Roosevelt's peace plea. Following the most elaborate preparations in the six years of Nazism, nearly every member of the population from 12 years of age upward heard Herr Hitler state his policy to the world. Housewives and men not working listened at their homes. School children listened in their class rooms, factory workers in their shops by means of loud speakers; Government employees, clerks, businessmen, shopkeepers and workers in their own offices or in the thousands of restaurants, cafes, movie houses, theaters and public offices where loud speakers had been installed. Representatives of the Nazi Labor Front supervised mass listening.

All Factories Stop Work Every factory throughout the country stopped work during the speech, even the airplane factories working on three shift a day schedules, the great munitions and armaments works, the shipyards where the new navy is being built. All government departments, all business offices, closed their doors. For the first time, even smaller shops, corner drug stores and barber shops closed by official order. Mail deliveries were suspended and postoffices were closed except for telegrams and air mail Guiding public sentiment, authorities placarded Berlin with a sensational warning against spies and urged patriots to denounce even members of their own family. Nazi publications denounced “terrorism” against Germans in Danzig and the Polish corridor. The spy placards provided an antispy creed for every German: “I know it is my duty to denounce even members of my own family. I will let no one pump me. I never will try to catch a spy alone.

Today's Reichstag scene in the Kroll Opera House was similar to this. s = e =»

How Hitler Answered Roosevelt’s Appeal for ‘America Should Have Shown Friendship in 1918’

‘/ am Cast in a More Humble Sphere Than You, Mr. President; My Duty Is to German Nation; Whole World Knows My Aims.’

BERLIN, April 28 (U. P.).—Here are Fuehrer Hitler's replies to points made in President Roosevelt's peace message of April 15:

Mr. Roosevelt—You have repeatedly asserted that you and the German people have no desire for war.

I will gain time with harmless conversation, then inform my superior employer or police. . . . There is no hope for those who fall into the spies’ net. . Whoever fails to denounce a spy or traitor will be punished even unto death.”

Claim Germans Calm

Newspapers described the nerve ousness” of people abroad and the “confidence” of German people. It was disclosed that Herr Hitler planned a second speech Monday at a Nazi Mayday celebration in the Lustgarten. Thus he would have the opportunity to answer week-end re-| action from abroad to his speech | today. Today's Reichstag session was the biggest in point of membership in history. The 888 members included those from Austria, seized in March, | 1938; from Sudetenland, absorbed | in September, 1938; Bohemia and Moravia, absorbed from the rem-| nants of Czechoslovakia, and frem Memel, seized from Lithuania last month. The weather was gloomy, overcast and damp.

TAFT CALLS TAXES CURB ON PROGRESS

NEW YORK. April 28 (U. P.) — Senator Taft (R. Ohio), told the] American Newspaper Publishers Association last night that Federal | taxes on industry and workers] threatened to stop all progress in America. He recommended that relief administration be returned to the] states and that Federal price-fixing | be stopped. He said that 22 per cent of the national income was, collected in taxes in 1938, whereas | he regarded 20 per cent to be ‘“es- | sential as a limit if we wish to retain an American system dominated by free competitive enterprise and individual initiative.” | Mayor F. H. La Guardia, who, also spoke, said, “if there is one] appeal I can make to the press of this country it is to conceal our do- | mestic troubles and all differences | of opinion, and political issues in| order to show a united front in our Feiaijon to the international situaon.”

Herr Hitler—I wish to point out that I have not conducted any war; that for the past year I have expressed my abhorrence of war and of war mongers; and that I am unaware for what purpose I should wage war at all.

Mr. Roosevelt—I am convinced that the cause of world peace would be greatly advanced if the nations of the world were able to obtain a frank statement relating to the present and future policy of governments. Herr Hitler—I have already done this, Mr. Roosevelt, in innumerable public speeches and I am doing it in the course of this meeting of the

{ German Reichstag. . . . I give the aims of German policy openly so the

entire world can hear.

Mr. Roosevelt—Are you willing to give assurance that your armed forces will not attack or invade the territory or possessions of the independent nations in Europe and the near East. Herr Hitler—All the states bordering Germany have received much more binding assurances than the suggestions Mr. Roosevelt makes to me in his peculiar telegram.

Mr. Roosevelt—You realize IT am sure that throughout the world hundreds of millions of human beings are living today in constant fear of a new war, . .. Herr Hitler—As far as Germany is concerned, I know nothing about this kind of threat against other nations, although every day I read in democratic newspapers lies about such a threat.

Mr. Roosevelt—The leaders of the great nations have it in their power to libertate their peoples from the threat of disaster that impends. Herr Hitler—If that is true, then it is punishable neglect, to use no worse words, if the leaders of the nations who have corresponding powers are not capable of controlling newspapers which are agitating for war and so to save the world from the threatening calamity.

Mr. Roosevelt—Any major war . . . must bear heavily on (all nations) for generations to come, Herr Hitler—As a politican, I have been the exponent of this con. viction for 20 years at a time when unfortunately the responsible statesmen of America could not bring themselves to make the same admission regarding their participation in the Great War,

R. ROOSEVELT—Three nations in Europe . . . have seen their existerice terminated. (Austria, Czechoslovakia and Albania). Herr Hitler—I do not know which three nations of Europe are meant. If Mr. Roosevelt was referring to provinces reincorporated in the German Reich it is an historical fact that these were made into nations which they never wished to be, never were and had forced upon them an independence which was no independence,

Mr. Roosevelt—Reports which we trust are not true insist that further acts of aggression are contemplated against still other independent nations. Herr Hitler—I consider every such unfounded insinuation as an offense against tranquility and consequently against peace of the world—something which tends to frighten smaller nations or at least make them nervous,

Mr. Roosevelt—We as Americans speak not through selfishness or fear or weakness, If we speak now it is with the voice of strength and friendship for mankind. Herr Hitler—If this voice of strength and friendship for mankind had been raised by America at the proper time and had possessed practical value it could have prevented (the Versailles) treaty which has become the source of dire derangement of humanity and history.

Mr. Roosevelt—It is still clear to me that international problems can be solved at the council table. Herr Hitler—We honor your well meant opinions, Mr. Roosevelt, but opposed to your opinions stands the actual fact that in almost 20 years of the greatest conference activity in the world—the League of Nations— } has proved impossible to solve one single, decisive international probe em.

R. ROOSEVELT—In conference rooms, as in courts, it is necessary that both sides enter upon discussion in good faith. Herr Hitler—German representatives never again will enter a con-

ference that is for them a court. At a conference there is no accused and no prosecutor but two contending parties.

Mr. Roosevelt—It is customary and necessary that (negotiators) leave their arms outside the room where they confer.

Herr Hitler—The German nation, once trusting to the solemn assurances of President Wilson and the confirmation of these assur-

ances by the Allies laid down their arms and thus went unarmed to a conference table whereafter they were made to accept the terms dictated, were insulted and plundered.

Mr. Roosevelt—I trust that you may be willing to make a statement of policy to me , . . in order that I... may communicate such declaration to other nations now apprehensive, Herr Hitler—But how does Mr. Roosevelt come to expect the head of the German state, above all, to make a statement without other Governments being invited to make such a statement of their policy as well. If Mr. Roosevelt thinks he is qualified to address such a request to Germany or Italy of all nations, we have the same right to ask what are the aims of American foreign policy and what are his intentions in the case of Central and South America, for instance?

Mr. Roosevelt—Heads of great governments in this hour are literally responsible for the fate of humanity. ... . History will hold them accountable, I hope your answer will make it possible for humanity to lose fear and regain security for many years to come, Herr Hitler—Mr, Roosevelt, I fully understand the vastness of your nation. The immense wealth of your country allows you to feel responsible for the history of the whole world; for the history of all nations. I, sir, am placed in a much more modest and smaller sphere. You and I, Mr. Roosevelt, came to power at the same time. And you had resources at your disposal which excelled ours a hundred times. I am sure that you have found it so easy to solve all of your problems

Hassett said he expected the President to receive the text of Herr Hitler's speech today from the State Department but that there would be no comment. The Times story of a sea-borne peace conference was written by Arthur Krock, chief of the paper's Washington Bureau. Mr. Roosevelt adopted the unusual course of taking cognizance of it in a written and quotable statement. He said: “I have read the Krock story in the New York Times. It is not true, but otherwise it is interesting and well written.” The President cancelled his regular Friday press conference to discuss arrangements for construction of an archives building on his estate here with Frank C. Walker of New York, one of the trustees. Mr. Roosevelt awaited employer reaction today to his proclamation urging them to find jobs and proNe security for workers more than 4

RETONGA BROUGHT ME

WONDERFUL

"DECLARES MRS. CRAGG

Well Known Orange St. Resident States New Medicine Ended Her Seven Years Suffering and Restored Her Strength and Weight. Sleepless, Nervous, Rundown Condition Corrected, She States.

Retonga has just stood another test of its lasting benefits in the case of Mrs. Hattie Cragg, 1409 Orange St., Indianapolis, who writes that in less than four weeks time the famous new herb medicine brought to a quick end her seven vears of constant suffering from sluggish bowels, getting up nights and a weakened, run down condition. Mrs, Cragg was born in Dixon, Tenn. near Nashville, but has lived in Indianapolis for a number of years. She is well known both here and in her old home community. “Seven years ago I began having trouble with a nervous run down condition that gave me no rest day or night,” states Mrs. Cragg. “I had to take strong cathartics regu= larly or my bowels wouldn't act at all. I had severe pains across my back that hurt so bad at times that I could hardly get around and severe pains in the lower part of my body and bilious, dizzy headaches caused me agonizing suffering. Getting up nights let me get so little sléep that I became weak, worn out and steadily lost weight.

“I spent a lot of money for dif-

ferent kinds of eticine hi |

BENEFITS,

MRS. HATTIE CRAGG discouraged. But after reading how Retonga had helped so many people right here in Indianapolis who suffered from almost my same troubles, I decided to try it. This grand herb medicine gave me a wonderful surprise by overcoming my seven years troubles in less than a inonth's time. My bowels now act regularly without the aid of laxatives and my dizzy headaches, pains and nervousness have disappeared. I never have to get up to relieve ny kidneys. I get plenty of restful, undisturbed sleep and I've gained needed weight, Retonga is a wonderful medicine and I hope this letter will acquaint other sufferers with its great powers and bring them the same fine benefits it has brought to me.” Get in touch with Mrs. Cragg or call on the Retonga man at Hook's Dependable Drug Store, S. E. corner Illinois and Washington, and let him tell you about the new medicine. Retonga may be obtained at all Hook's D lable Drug
