RIDAY, OCT. 6, 1939 . + Armistice and Then - + World Conference Sought by Hitler|

iv Fuckiret Threatens Britain and Fite With Bitter War if They Refuse Final Terms, ar ‘Hints at Small Polish State.

: (Continued from Page One) Germany had lost 44,318 men in killed, wounded and miss; , ing; Fuehrer Hitler argued that there was nothing further ' for Europe to fight for now that Germany had crushed Po-|" lond. He estimated the total number of prisons taken by the German Arm at nearly 700,000. : - Herr Hittler’s program for European peace touched on everything from disarmament to colonies: and Jews.

- His points included:

“1. The conference of nations. 2. Disarmament, or failing that, an agreeiient to forbid the use of poison gas in order reduce. the horrors of war. The most important pre-condition to security and peace was a return of arguments » “a sensible and economically bear-

able level.” 8. Solution of the European,

Jewish “problem.”

4. Possibly a restoration of a Polish State under .GermanRussian suzerainty, to contain only Poles.

Seeks British Friendship

‘5. Germany now has no demands to make but for colonies, and the need for colonies does not -repre-

sent an ultimative demand. “Our only demand is for colonial possessions fitting for and suitable for the Reich—that is, the return of former German colonies,” he said. 6. Germany will respect the neutrality of Denmark, Belgium, Jugoslavia and all other neighbors and desires only strong economic relations with them. 7. Security is possible only on the basis of German-British friendship. 8. If ritain and France are fighting solely to defeat Germany they can not do so, but even if they did the present situation would be

9. The line between German and Russian interests is clearly drawn and there is no reason for hostilities between the Nazi and Communist states so long as they stick to their respective spheres.

Blames ‘Provocation’

‘Herr Hitler listed German Army casualties in Poland as follows: ed—10,572. ded—30,332. yo —3409. Shortly before he spoke the Ger-

‘man High Command had an-.

nounced that the last Polish .reSissance had ended at 10 a. m. 3 m. Indianapolis Time) when a Polish force of about 8000 men sur-

.rendered at Kock, about 60 miles

east of Warsaw. Herr Hitler said “provocation” had forced Germanys forceful moves in recent years. : Reviewing the Polish campaign at length, he said that a “grand success” was achieved by the Gernian Army, though Western powers had tried to belittle it. He said the collapse of Poland was inevitable. Jt was not a Polish state nor a democracy, he said, and was run by

a clique .of landed aristocrats.

1939 esrsscassesses

Also, he said, Poland wanted to destroy Germany by taking East Prussia and - German territory as far west as the Elbe River.

“In a Modest Way”

The Fuehrer declared that Germany had tried to spare lives in carrying on the war in Poland, but that the Boles ad en “insane” trying to defen arsaw. ° w “Germany offered to permit ciyilians to leave the city,” he said. “But the city’s commander did not even answer.’ The Poles fought bravely, he said, put the German troops proved better even when outnumbered. “1 have pledged my wo he pontinued, - “to discard the ’ Yersailles Treaty. I have pledged my word to restore Germany's rights in p modest way.” Germany had found her resurrection, he said, in Naziism. Then, in his appeal for peace, he swung round the circle in Europe— no demands against the neutrals of Northern Europe; no intention of changing the “inviolable and eternal” boundaries .of Southeastern Europe; no demands on’ France. “ . «I think that permanent peace can be established in this world only if Great Britain and Germany get together,” he said, “It has been one of the chief aims of my life to bring the German and

sa—

British people together—not only intellectually but also in their feeling of mutual respect.” Praises French Army. He praised the valour and ef-

ficiency of the French army and]

said: “I have never made a demand that was incompatible with French honor or French vital interests.” The Nazi Fuehrer said he -had no fear of the British-French combination. Nor, he said, was he afraid of the judgment of history. His desire to bring about a peaceful solution of European problems, he said, tame from a feeling of justice.

Realization of his ropa; ‘and of peace and security was possible only through the .co-operation of all European nations. 1 “In order to: achieve this aim, the great.nations of this continent must meet in order to work out, accept and guarantee an agreement which will give them all a feeling of security, peace and quiet,” he said.

Jews Again Blamed

But let no one believe, Herr Hitler said, that his proposals meant that he was weak. “Again I take this chance in expressing my ideas,” he said. “ . my prestige can stand such dangers. Whether fear or despair motivates the course of events will be shown.” Only “international Jewish capitalists and their ‘journalistic mouthpieces’ could now have any interest in a bloody clash between nation and nation. . The Poland of the Versailles Treaty never would rise again. Russia: and Germany, Europe's greatest powers, guaranteed that. Germany would not be crushed again. If they tried to crush Naziism, the Western powers would only uselessly sacrifice the lives of millions upon millions of men and women—and vainly. Wants Only Colonies

But if the Western powers wanted peace, Herr ‘Hitler said, he was willing to say that he now considered the Versailles Treaty as no longer in existence, and that all German claims with the exception of that for restoration of former colonies. - As to the past, he said, he was proud of his accomplishments. What he had brought about were readjustments in Europe, and he had never acted without first attempting a peaceful solution. Swinging again to the statement that Germany .could propose peace because it was strong, Herr Hitler said: . “If IT am making any peaceful overtures today they claim’ that it will be merely because I am afraid to take the consequences. . . . All'I can say is that future events will reveal whether these statements are correct.

Seeks “Access to Wealth”

“Impossible statements have been circulated as to the value ofthe German Army. The prowess of the| German Army, however, stands supreme, as the French and British soldiers on the Western Front will ascertain to their sorrow. .. .. We shall continue our course, confident of our inherent strength.” Part of the security problem, Herr Hitler said, was to reorganize the world economic set-up, to give un-der-privileged nations better access to the world’s wealth. ! Fuehrer Hitler spoke for one hour

"BRITAIN, TURKEY

| RESTRICT PACT

Initialed i Treaty. Effective Only in - Mediterranean; Stalin - Wins - Point.

Britain and Turkey had initialed

‘|a mutual aid pact which covers only}

the Mediterranean Sea so as not

to be effective against Russia, it was reported today well-informed quarters. 2 The formal aignatie is expected as soon as Turkish Foreign Minister

of an agreement had been completed, covering political, military and economic matters. Information. here. was that the |agreement had now been initialed as finally approved at Ankara, the Turkish capital. Minister Saracoglu’s negotiations at Moscow had caused a. change in the diplomatic situation as regards the Black Sea, and it.had been assumed that there would be some safeguard clause in the British~ Turkish pact—and a similar FrenchTurkish pact—to guard against the possibility that Turkey might have to fight its old friend Russia.

Russia to Get Pact, Too

Nevertheles§ the effecting of any agreement at ‘all was regarded here as a diplomatic triumph for Great Britain and France because it assured them any ally in the Eastern Mediterranean’in event Italy cast its lot ‘with Germany—a contingency now regarded ‘as most remote—and a friendly neutral even if Russia entered the war. The Daily Telegraph, na dispatch’ from Bucharest, quoted private advices from Moscow that ‘Minister Saracoglu was about to sign a mutual aid pact with Russia, and that

Balkan peace pact based on maintenance of the present territorial status. Any such agreement as that, naturally would mean that Russia would not try to. seize Bessarabia from Rumania, would not permit a German drive into Rumania through Hungary, and would not try to force Rumania to restore its Dobrujda area to Bulgaria. , » Rumania Claims Victory It seemed possible that this report morticed with an Athens dispateh, quoting an interview with]. ‘Grigor Gafencu, Rumanian Foreign Minister, in the newspaper Assyrmatos. M. Gafencu, who also is in Moscow, was quoted: “Rumania has endeavored to prevent war from approaching the Balkans and I believe we have succeeded. Rumania will continue friendly relations with Russia and Germany, desiring peace.” An authoritative diplomatic source was quoted that Minister Saracoglu’s long stay in Moscow was due partly to the exceedingly complicated position of Turkey. It was pointed out he was negotiating, first as representative of his own Government, secondly as spokesman for the entire Balkan Entente and thirdly as representative of Britain and France so far as concerned Turkey’s relations with them.

‘tion of -an illegal verdict. The at.torneys declared that Judge Cassius M. Gentry, presiding = judge, has “ample ‘authority to correct the 14-year-old legal mistake.” Attorney E. E. Cloe said that it is: the court’s duty to “correct a wrong that has been done Stephenson and vindicate the girl involved in the case.” The former Klan leader is serving a life sentence for the death of Madge Oberholtzer in Indianapolis in March, 1925, «: _ Campbell Hits Life Term Frank Campbell, one of his attorneys, declared that the public “thinks that Stephenson may be guilty of many misdeeds, but that he is not guilty of murder.” ; “There could be nothing more barbaric in the administration. of justice than for a court not to have a legal remedy to correct its own fnistakes,” Mr. Campbell said. “We maintain and have ‘legal proof that the conviction in this case: was void.” Attorneys for the State said they were | red to disprove charges that Stephenson was sentenced to life imprisonment on the wrong degree murder charge. During five hours of spirited oratory in Circuit Court yesterday, Stephenson’s attorneys charged that the juty verdict was “illegal” and that treatment given the former Klan dragon in prison was-a “disgrace to- Indiana.” Defense attorneys argued on their “written demand for trial,” contending that the:legal status of the case now is the same as if there never had been a trial. : Floyd Christian, one of .Stephen-son’s-lawyers, charged that a second degree murder charge was not included in the indictment and that the verdict should have been either “the death penalty or acquittal.” “Stephenson is risking his life in an effort to prove his innocence,” he shouted. “If the State's attorneys really believe Stephenson is guilty of murdering a girl during perpetration of rape as charged in the indictment then they. should try to send him to the electric chair right now . . . he shoul electric chair if he is guilty of that charge. ” . Confident He’s Innocent ‘Defense attorneys S¥prested confidence that Stephenson, if given dnother trial, ‘would be “acquitted promp pfly 4 x “And the stigma. against justice in this State would be erased,” added Alban Smith, of La Porte, another attorney for Stephenson. James N. Northam, deputy attorney general, interrupted the “arguments and filed a motion to have the new trial motion stricken off the records but Judge Gentry declined to stop the Stephenson arguments. The State’s motion ‘was to be argued at the conclusion of defense oratory. Mr. Northam said he will argue

the question of a void verdict and that the Indiana Supreme Court already had affirmed the conviction. Jury Verdict Questioned The defense lawyers based their entire argument upon one point of law . involving ‘the question of whether Indiana statutes in 1925 permitted a jury verdict on a lesser charge than was stated: in the indictment. )

Discussing Stephenson’ lin prison, Mr. Christian charged}. that the former Klan leader was| | |kept in a “dungeon” for many] |
