FOR RISE OF HITLER

Parliament, said last night in an ad
dress for radio delivery, that had the
World War allies been less harsh with
Germany, Nazis never would have
ascended to power.
He spoke on the Columbia network.

revengeful peace was dictated by weary
statesmen,” he said.

toward the Nazi government, this
cruel dictatorship would never have
triumphed.”
