German Democracy

The Chancellor claimed that democracy also existed in Germany, because the regime was supported by the will of the people. He did not destroy two democracies but, as a democrat, he had destroyed two dictatorships, that of Dr. von Schuschning and Dr. Benes, in order to give freedom to oppressed peoples.

He added that British Parliamentanans knew nothing of Central Europe, just as "we ourselves do not know ioo much about India, Egypt and Palestine. They would do well to concentrate on Palestine, for what is happening there looks more like force than democracy."—Reuter.
