Berlin, June 24.
"It in speaking of imperialism one understands that one country desires to suppress the entire world, then the German people have no desire fo pursue such a policy", declared Dr. Goebbels, "but.if one under-Stands imperialism as a policy of Securing the elemental, vital necessities of a nation and the place in the sun that this people deserves on the basis of its ability, diligence and courage, then we certainly are impenalist:
"We Germans believe that the position we occupy in the, world today does not conform to the rank that our nation has the right to demand and that this position must therefore be altered. The German nation has no desire to live for all the future under the conditions imposed on us by the Versailles Dictate."
Recalling that Germany is now a mighty united group under the leadership of Chancellor Hitler and stating that the German Army is the strongest in the world, Dr. Goebbels declared "German workers and engineers have constructed a wall of steel and concrete in the west and they shall one day be able to enjoy the rewards of this policy and their great sacrifices during the past years. When we today continue to demand colonies, it is not because we wish to become millionaires but because of the German people."
