HIS LOST VOICE
_
Husum, Schleswig-Holstein. Aug.
80.—(UP).—Adolf Hitler, in the
first public speech he has made
since recovery from his recent
throat trouble, called upon all Ger
mans last night "Instantly and
bravely to protect" every square
yard of their native soil.
Speaking at the opening here of
“Adolf Hitler Koog," a small
island recaptured from thie North
Sea by dyking, he drew a parallel
be.ween the reclaimed soil upon
which he stood and the position of
Germany In Europe.
The Reich can survive, he told
his listeners, only if its "dykes"
ar; strong. Continuing the parable,
he went on:
“Entering this new land we must
not forget two things: First, that
work alone created It; secondly,
every square meter wrested from
the sea must be Instantly nad
bravely protected. Thus, everything
the nation is creating must be pro
tected.”
