Nuremberg, Sept. 7.
"You represent the sublimest motto we know—help yourself and God will l*elp you," declared Herr Adolf Hitler addressing a mass gathering of 42,000 men of the Labour Service here today.
"Your spades," Herr Hitler stated, "work in the north, in the east. in the west, in the service of safeguarding and preserving the Reich."
Herr Hitler's reference to the west is regarded by observers here as a reference to the work on the fortifications of the Rhine Frontier, and elsewhere.
When the members of the Labour Service took up their positions opposite to the platform on which Herr Hitler stood, a voice shouted:
"Here we stand. We are prepared."
The men responded "We are prepared," and then sang in unison "We thank our Leader that he calls us.
We want to be ready. We want to sacrifice our lives to work for Germany."
The men then chanted a number of patriotic poems.—Reuter.
