Germans Living Abroad Are German Representatives Stuttgart, Aug. 29.
The peak of the impressing gathering of 75,000 Germans living abroad was the arrival in the Stuttgart stadium this afternoon of Herr Rudolf Hess, the deputy of the Fuehrer, and the Foreign Minister, Baron Konstantin von Neurath, both of whom were accorded a tremendous ovation.
Baron von Neurath said that Germans domiciled abroad are the ever visible representatives of German character and culture and hence were in a special sense responsible for the regard in which Germany was held throughout the world. Referring to the position and status of German nationals living abroad "It is difficult to understand how certain sections of the outside world can take offence because Germans living abroad are also inspired with the desire to participate in a spiritual way in the reshaping of affairs in Germany and to give expression of this by uniting with compatriots who are of like mind, Just as we do not for a moment intend to ignore the universally recognized code of behaviour for persons domiciled in foreign countries, we are equally resolved not to allow German nationals living abroad being placed by foreign governments under discriminatory law owing to their National-Socialist views."
Herr Rudolf Hess made a scathing attack on attempts made abroad to di aminate. lies about Germany. Suspicions spread about the nature of the Foreign Organization are merely deliberately spread to create mistrust among the peoples of the earth.
We do not desire to infect other pi with—National-Socialismn, neither do we wish to force it upon other peoples, On the contrary we are jealously concerned in retaining National-Socialism for ourselves," the Fuehrer's deputy declared.
