Hitler's Speech Dashes Hope For Refugee Parley
SAARBKTTECICnN (W N S)— Hope that ITitlor'^i diplomatic vic¬ tory at Munich and hn acquisition of the Sudtlenlniid would mako him amenable to ncKOti.illons with ihe Intoigoveinmontal RefUf^ce Oommittno on Ihe question of al¬ lowing refugees to take pai t of Ihcir capital with them, is be¬ lieved to have been completely dashed by Hitler himself m his Saaibiuccken speech m which he bluntly told foieign powcis that "inquiies bv Blitish statesmen or railiamcntalians concerning thc fate of the Reich's aubjccts inside Germany are out of order" Theie was no refeience to Jews in the speech except for the assertion that "we know fulthei that now, us hefoie, there ia luiking thioat- enmgly that Jewish-intei national woild enemy who has found a llMUg expieSaion in Bolshevism" Hitler, however, made a barc^st^c reference to tho situation m Palea- tinc
The text of Hitlei's remarks on these points reads as follows:
"Inquires by British  statesmen or    Parli.imentariana    concerning the fate of the Reich's subjects in¬ side  Germany  ale   out   of order. We  do  not  bother about  similiir things in England The rebt of Ihe woild sometimes, have had reason enough to bother about interna¬ tional happenings—happenings in Palestine. We leave this to those who feel themaclves pre-ordained by God to solve these pioblems And we obseive with ama/ement how they do solve them. We must, howevei, give these gentlemen nd- vico to attend even mole to the solution of their own pi oblems and to leave us in peace It is alao pait of   the   task   of   "leeurmg   woild peace that tesponsible  statesmen and politicians look after their own affairs and lefrain from constantly meddling talk with the problems of other countriea and peoples.    By such mutual, consideratenesa, pre¬ conditions are  really  ciented for durable peaco, of which no one is moio earnestly desuous than tho German people."
