Nazi Germany wants to create a New Order in Europe, the Propaganda Minister Dr. Joseph Goebbels announced in an interview with eight newspapermen representing neutral organs whom he invited to his estate near Berlin, the semi-official Belga (Belgian) news agency reported tonight.
Dr. Goebbels also placed the problem of colonies in the forefront of Germany's /war aims and warned neutrals that they should not use the slogan of democracy for a showeut un-neutral hostility.
"Germany," he added, "is not ready, to make concessions regarding Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland, and to accept shameful and futile conditions of a peace which would leave in ex istence all the European problems.'
According to Belga, the Propaganda Minister added: "Germany is firmly determined to attain a complete solution of all essential problems and to create a New Order in Europe... The colonial problem which, before the war, was not an immediate one, henceforth is included among the w: aims of the Reich. As regards neutrality: it is Germany's intention io respect true neutrality but oppose hypocritical neutrality.
"In this respect, it is impossible to differentiate between the State and the people and have the state proclaim a policy of neutrality while leaving the people, under foreign influence, deliver themselves up to systematic manifestations of hostility.
"It is of no use to invoke democracy and freedom of the press, either, for a State wishing to enjoy the benefits of neutrality must meet certain obligations" Dr. Goebbels concluded, ac-Havas. cording to the Belgian news agency.—
