Washington, Mar. 10, Japan is beginning to realize that she cannot conquer China and as a consequence, the situation in Asia is improving Senator Key Pittman, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, declared, In a radio address on the world situation Senator Pittman proposed a 30-day armistice in the European war to permit neutrals to offer their services for a peaceful settlement.
"It is inconceivable that the warring powers should refuse an armistice to permit a calm discussion of the alleged causes of war," Senator Pittman said. "The President has sent Mr, Welles to ascertain con-Aidentially, the attitude of the warring powers, their objectives, and, if possible, some formula which might be the foundation for further efforts by the United States to bring about a cessation-of war and the adjustment of controversies, "Some thought that Mr. Welles might be unfortunately led into controversies, but his actions have proved conclusively that he has made no such mistakes."
Senator Pittman deplored the prevalence of "power politics" in the world today. "Loyal, patriotic, honest Finland has been invaded' with-Out excuse," he declared. "Scand-ina via is threatened with extermination from two powerful sources, China, without legitimate excuse is being destroyed by Japan,"
The situation in Asia is improving, the Senator from Nevada said. "It has become apparent to the Japanese that they cannot conquer China. The cost of their invasion has already almost destroyed the monetary and economic systems of Japan. There is hope that a satisfactory adjustment will be worked out eventually."—United Press, "For years," Herr Hitler stressed, 1 held out my hand to all ready to conclude a real entente, but the world. rejected any idea of reconciliation based on the equity of rights for all. As a Nazi and as a soldier, I have always adhered to the following principle: to obtain my people's rights peacefully or, if necessary, by force. That is why, as Fuehrer of the nation and Chancellor of the Reich, as Commander-in-Chief of the ' German Army, I have only one task: I want to think day and night of victory, I want to fight, work, struggle, and die for it. I have admitted that this time the fate of Germany will be decided for centuries. As a soldier who took part in the Great War, I beg Providence for one thing alone: that she grant us the right to see the German people end in victory and honour the final chapter in this great struggle of peoples.
"Our profession of faith must be the solemn oath to see that this war imposed upon the Greater German Reich by the capitalist potentates of Britain and France become the most glorious in Germany's history," Herr Hitler declared in conclusion.
After the speech, the Fuehrer laid a wreath at the foot of the monument to the dead, and then watched a parade of troops.—¥avas.
