A Correction Accepted

To the Editor of the "Nonrm-CurwA Dai NEWS"

Sm,—I read your leading article in today's issue "Unfortunate Speech," and although I do not intend to criti-size your opinion about the speech made by Chancellor Adolf Hitler at Saarbruecken, I wish to correct a mistake which occurred obviously to you. You were quoting in the said article:

That accounts to some extent for his exaggerations, for the 3,500,000 Sudetens which were alleged to be groaning under the implacable domination of the Czechoslovak Government, have in the last few days increased by some miraculous process to no fewer than 10,000,000.

As I heard the Fuéhrer's speech clearly and without disturbance over ihe radio, I remember that the Fuehrer referred to the 6,500,000 Austrians and 3,500,000 Sudeten Germans, altogether 10,000,000 Germans which have returned to the Reich during 1038, and your endeavours in trying to make the Fuehrer's statement ridiculous does not succeed this time, os your statement, as quoted above, is based on your own error.

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
