HITLER HIGHLIGHTS
"Since England today, both by the press aRd of
upholds the view that Germany should be opposed
all circumstances and confirms this by the policy
encirclement known to us, the basis for the naval
has been removed."
"I have therefore resolved to send today a communi-
cation to this effect to the British government,
"This is not a matter of practical material importance
to us—for I still hope that we shall be able to avoid *n
armaments race with England-—but an action of self
respect.
"Should the British government, however, wish to
enter once more into negotiations with Germany on this
problem no one would be happier than li at the prospect
of still being able to come to a clear and straight-forward
understanding."

The Chancellor reminded Roosevelt Germany followed
the American lesd in rejecting conferences and cited the
United States' refusal to join in League of Nations.
Reviews History
lie delved into history to show that for hundreds of
years the United States and other nations settled their
differences by arms instead of by conference.
The German government viewed the speech as Hitler's
official reply to the President's message.
(High quarters in Washington indicated the speech
as delivered orally would not be considered as adequate
reply and that a written answer would be expected.)
Addressing the Reichstag the German Fuehrer offered
assurances of "the kind desired by Mr. Roosevelt on the
condition of absolute reciprocity provided that the state
wishes it and itself addresses to Germany a request for
such assurance"—of non-aggression.
Specifically he gave "an assurance regarding those
territories which would after all give him (Roosevelt)
the most cause for apprehension, namely the United _
itself and the other states of the American continent."
Cites 21 Point*
The Fuehrer made a long 21-point analysis of
President's message, which appealed for German
Italian pledges to 31 states in which he countered
i his own views the points raised by the President.
Some of those states, he said, he had asked wl
they felt themselves menaced, and added, "the reply w
in all cases negative, in some cases strongly so."
