Munich, Nov. 9.
Germany's demand for the return of her former Colonies was renewed by Herr Adolf Hitler in a speech yesterday to the Old Guard on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of his beer cellar putsch "We are very grateful" he said. if there are statesmen in France and Great Britain who wish to live in good understanding with the German people. It only remains for us to agree over the Colonies which were taken away from us on pretexts contrary to justice."
"Nazi Germany," Herr Hitler declared, "will never go begging. We shall not go to Canossa. where Emperor Honey IV humiliated himself in 1077 before Pope Gregory VII. We wish to negotiate, but if others decline our rights we shall secure them in a different way."
Beyond the Colonial question, the Chancellor asserted, Germany had no demands to make on France and Great Britain.
"We only want," he continued, "to do business with them, to buy and sell in equal measure."
"Mr, Churchill Might.
Herr Hitler declared that if others were to rearm, the German people would not run about with olive branches. "We do not want to inter-fore with other people's constitutions. Let them have their democracies, We shall retain our National Socialism. No British statesman has the right to interfere with us. We know these hypocrites from the days of the war. Germany will not be conquered by phrases, and she will not be conquered by arms."
Men in power in London and Paris today, the Chancellor went wanted an understanding, but Mr. Churchill might head the British y, Government tomorrow.
British Parliamentarians who wanted to destroy the regime in Germany, he said, could not do it because it represented the German people.
"If British speakers declare that we have destroyed two democracies, we ask Mr. Churchill and Mr. Duff-
Cooper whether they have the keys to democracies."
