f LETTERS OF HITLER AND DALADIER PUBLISHED

BERLIN REVEALS TEXTS, CHARGING “FAULTY CLAIMS

"French Misinterpreted Notes! |

In Communique, German Bureau Says.

By UNITED PRESS The German and French Governments made public today an exchange of communiCations between Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and Premier Edouard Daladier. Herr Hitler on Friday asked the French Ambassador

«Daladier, the French Govern. ment announced. In this declaration he said he could «210 longer tolerate the situation existing in Poland, that he deplored that French and German blood might be shed because of the measures he might be compelled to take.

. The German Government, |

angered by the French state-| ment in the belief that it mis-| represented Herr Hitler's po-| sition, then made public M. Daladier's reply to Herr Hitler's declaration and Hitler's! reply to that reply. These follow in full: |

Daladier

. Dear Mr. Chancellor: The French Ambassador to Berlin brought your personal message to my attention | In the hour when you speak, the ravest responsibility which two gStatesmen may assume in certain circumstances, namely to shed the blood of two great pc ples who only long for peace and work, I owe it £10 our two great peoples to say that the fate of peace still lies in your hands You can have no doud my sSentiments toward Germany nor the peaceful sentiments of the French people toward your nation No Frenchman has done more than myself to emphasize between our naions not only peace but also sincere co-operation in our own interests as well as in the interest of Europe and the world 8 Unless you concede French people a less high conception of honor that I am conceding the German people you cannot doubt that France will loyally fulfill her obligations to other powers, powers such as Poland, which I am convinced wants to live peace with Germany. ® These two conceptions are fully compatible with each other. Up to the present there is nothing which} could prevent a peaceful solution of the international crisis with honor and y for all people, if there is an equal will peace on both sides. With the will France, 1 Sexpress that of all those allied with her. I, myself, guarantee the preparedness Poland has al-

Your desire for peace could be used therein without damaging German honor I, as head of the French Government, wishing on the one hand harmony between the French and German people, and on the other hand being bound to Poland by ties of friendship and the pledged word, am prepared to make all efforts which an honorable man could bring to this attempt at successful conclusion You, like myself, were a soldier at the front in the last war. You know as I do what condemnation that war left on the consciences of nations, no matter how the war ended.

Hitler

In a letter dated yesterday and delivered personal messenger by airplane, err Hitler replied: “Dear M. Prime Minister: “I understand the compunctions you express. I also never have overlooked the high duties which are laid upon those who control the fate of people. As a war veteran I, like you, know the horrors of war. “Knowing and recognizing this I honorably tried to banish all causes of conflict between our two peoples.

I assured the French people quite]

frankly that return of the Saar

Territory would be a condition for| that. Immediately after its return!

I solemnly affirmed renunciation

{of all other claims upon France.

“The German people approved this attitude of mine. “As you were able to prove for vourself during your last visit here the German people, conscious of their own strength, did not and do not feel any grudge, still less hatred, against their former brave enemies “Pacification of our Western frontier has led to increasing sympathy, at any rate on the part of the German people, sympathy which has been demonstratively shown on many occasions.

You, M. Prime Minister, will not be able to name a single instance in which even a line of a speech violated the final fixing of the German

CHARGES TERRORISM

Polish public opinion first was stirred up with lies about German ageression and necessarily clear decisions were made more difficult for the Polish Government. Particularly its vision of realistic possibilities was clouded by the guarantee promises which followed. The Polish Government rejected these proposals. Polish public opinion, in the secure conviction that France and England would now fight for Poland, began to make demands which migat perhaps be branded as ridiculous madness were they not so very dangerous. Then intolerable terrorism, the physical and economic torturing of 1,500,000 Germans in the ceded territories, began I do not want to talk of atrocities which have occurred. However, continued interference by Polish authorities showed also to Danczig to an ever-increasing extent that this city, apparently beyond help, {was subjected to arbitrary measures of powers foreign to the national character of the city and its population. | May would
