Mussolini Expected
To Delay Giving
Welles His Views
May Wait Till American
Has Visited London,
Paris and Berlin
By GEORGE C. JORDAN.
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
ROME, Feb. J24.—Authoritative
sources said tonight, on the eve of
the arrival of two personal emis
saries of President Roosevelt, that
Benito Mussolini probably would
wait until Undersecretary Sumner
Welles has visited Berlin, Paris and
London before giving him Italy's
official view of the European con
flict
These sources said visits of Mr.
Welles to Foreign Minister Count
Ciano and perhaps to Mussolini, ex
pected next week, likely would be
courtesy affairs.
Speculation Varied.
Diplomatic speculation on the
Welles mission ranged from sugges
tions that it was a quest for a
practical peace plan—to be advanced
by Washington—to others that it
indicated America ultimately would
participate in the war.
The status of Myron C. Taylor,
who will represent the President
at the Vatican, was considered to
be more self-evident, since President
Roosevelt has said Mr. Taylor
would be ready to co-operate with
Pope Pius XII in any effort to re
establish a European peace.
Mr. Welles and Mr. Taylor will
arrive at Naples tomorrow.
May Visit Embassies Tuesday.
Monday Mr. Welles is expected to
Interview both Premier Mussolini
and Count Ciano. Tuesday, calls
at the French, British and German
Embassies are believed to be on his
program, since his projected tour in
cludes visits to those nations.
His immediate destination after
leaving Rome Wednesday has not
been announced, but it is considered
likely to be Berlin, with an inter
view there with Adolf Hitler.
Germany Preparing
To Welcome Welles
By LOUIS P. LOCHNER,
Associated Press Porcini Correspondent.
BERLIN. Feb. 24—Nazi Germany
tonight placed a strict official ban
on publication of news of the im
pending visit of United States
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles, but nevertheless, put its best
foot forward to welcome President
Roosevelt’s fact-finding emissary.
Although it was emphasized that
the program for the visit—which
includes an audience with Adolf
Hitler next Tuesday or Wednesday—
would be carried out without the
press getting so much as a peek at
it, authorized sources disclosed the
schedule was complete.
There is little doubt that the
American will get a dignified and
hearty welcome.
Attacks on U. S. Cease.
As the war goes on, German
Statesmen see more and more that
the United States neutrality law has
many good points to it, and Ger
many is ready to go a long way to
help keep the United States in the
neutral column.
Attacks on the United States
virtually have ceased. Some papers
even, from time to time, have com
mended American neutrality legis
lation to European neutrals as
worth emulating.
There has been criticism in the
press and in circles close to the Gov
ernment of the sale of eight United
States Line vessels to a Belgian
firm, but this has largely taken the
line that Belgium, by “tolerating”
the deal, compromised her neutral
ity. The ships are to touch at
French and English ports.
Offices Ready to Supply Data.
All departments of the Govern
ment have been put on the qui vive
to supply any information which, in
the course of Mr. Welles’ visit, it
will become necessary or desirable
to have at hand.
Mr. Welles himself ranks in the
mind of German officialdom (largely
as a result of the reports of .Ambas
sador Hans Dieckhoff, long back in
Berlin) as a man with a “photo
graphic mind,” who will take back
to Mr. Roosevelt and Secretary of
State Hull an absolutely true, trust
worthy and unretouched picture of
what Hitler, Foreign Secretary Joa
chim von Ribbentrop and other
leaders disclose to him.
Before the lid was screwed down
on publication of information re
garding the visit, and applied to the
foreign press insofar as information
from German sources is concerned,
it was learned that Mr. Welles’ first
official contact would be with Von
Ribbentrop. The foreign secretary
then will take the American visitor
to see Hitler.
Protocol Difficulties.
It appears there were some proto
col difficulties about the arrange
ments, for the question arose as to
whether Germany's chief executive
should receive a man representing
an administration which has, since
late 1938, maintained no ambassador
in Berlin.
This technicality was waived, how
ever. in the interests of developing
the best possible relations with the
United States.
There was no authoritative ex
planation of the decision to keep
details of Mr. Welles’ visit from the
press, beyond a suggestion from a
United States Embassy spokesman
that it might have been suggested
by the German Embassy in Wash
ington. Mr. Welles, himself, does
not expect to make any public state
ments until he reports to Mr. Roose
velt.
Hitler Charges Expected.
Judging by his usual tactics Hitler,
in his audience with the American,
will take the offensive and present
Mr. Welles with a long list of griev
ances against Great Britain and
France, heading the dossier with the
charge that Britain provoked this
war.
The British breach of Norwegian
neutrality in the rescue of the Alt
mark's prisoners at Gjossingfjord
will be supplemented by a list of
other alleged violations of neutral
ity by the western powers.
In a nutshell, Hitler's thesis is
likely to be that Germany, a power
ful nation of 80,000.000 intelligent
and industrious people, is entitled to
“Lebensraum”—living space—which
the western allies have refused her.

Text of Hitler Speech
Ready for War to Bitter End, Fuehrer Says,
Citing Friendship of Former Enemies
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—A par
tial text of Hitler's Munich ad
dress today, as translated by the
National Broadcasting Co. in
New York, follows:
My German comrades:
Twenty years ago I appeared for
the first time before the German
public. That was the hardest and
most dramatic decision of my life.
It's now again I stand among
you. That in itself is remarkable.
When I appeared before you at that
time I was not a pacifist, I was still
a soldier.
Our nation at that time had
collapsed, which was unexampled
in history.
We were the victims of an en
ormous deception, but we were not
alone, the others were also de
ceived.
They cheated the Arabs but in
cidentally they also cheated the
Jews. In their own States the vic
torious nations didn't get what they
expected.
To be sure, most of all our own
German people were deceived. A
new world was to be established, a
world of equality, a world in which
no arms would be needed and in
which therefore eternal peace would
rule.
German People Deceived.
Germany laid down its arms be
cause of the 14 points. The German
people at that time were deceived
in their hope for a new organiza
tion of the world.
Germany was without rights be
cause it was defenseless. Germany
at that time was a paradise but not
for the German people, but for the
Jews, the speculators, the exploiters,
for the gangsters.
We had at that time the rule of
the victors as opposed to the van
quished. We were, of course, not in
the position to ask what we thought
was due us. We had a democratic
regime at that time, but this regime
of ours was treated, perhaps, as it
should have been treated, because
it did not have the means to back up
its words. We had approximately 46
political parties, all trying to do
their best to work in the interest of
the German nation. Financial bur
dens were assumed by the regime
for the purpose of rebuilding our
nation; but these financial obliga
tions were’slowly turning into eco
nomic obligations.
As far as I was concerned, at that
time, I was of a strictly different
opinion. I was of the opinion that
things could not continue in that
fashion. I decided that our politi
cal arena was nothing but the fight
ing arena for the various political
factions. I realized that our gov
ernmental structure at that time
was absolutely untenable, and that
it could not be maintained. I real
ized, above all, that bourgeois na
tional socialist ideals were con
fronted and opposed by socialist
principles. I realized that compro
mise in itself was impossible. I real
ized that only the victory of one side
or the other could bring about a
solution. But in all these internal
upheavals of that period, in all the
readjustments we were facing, I
realized that there was one thing
which was indestructible. And that
one thing was the individual Ger
man; in other words, the German
character.
Germans Proved Mettle.
^he German nation and the Ger
man character proved their mettle
during the four years of the World
War. Proceeding from this point,
I realized that out of all these po
litical parties there had to arise
the one, united German Reich, the
one Reich of one unified will. It was
necessary to call forth the best that
is, and has always been, in the Ger
man nation. And that force, that
strength inherent in the German
people, were called forth at that
memorable occasion 20 years ago. A
great many things had«to be brought
about in order to asert this power.
At that time, of course, it was prin
cipally a question of fighting our
internal enemies.
You all know that-1 had to face
these battles in a fighting spirit.
I was always willing to accomplish
our ends through peaceful means,
but force was essential whenever
force was the only means by which
our aims could have been accom
plished.
You all remember how we pro
ceeded step by step, starting here in
this place, spreading over Bavaria,
and from then on gradually extend
ing over the nation as a whole. It
was a fight which took us roughly
13 years—13 years of struggle,
crowned by ultimate success.
After that time we were faced
with the necessity of translating
our initial success into wider results.
You all know the things we accom
plished in the fields of rebuilding
the national character, in rebuild
ing our cities, in rehabilitating our
unemployed. But then our demo
cratic enemies began to tell us what
to do.
No Claim to Rule World.
These people who tell us what to
do are those who possess half the
world, and they cannot even solve
their own problems. Our reconstruc
tion, on the other hand, has been
accomplished entirely with our small
resources, and we shall eventually
and completely succeed without their
help. It seems that these people,
who rule half the world, believe that
they are called upon by God to con
tinue this rule, and as soon as any
body else lays claim to what they
are honestly entitled they raise the
cry that tyranny is the issue. God
Almighty has not created the world
for the English to dominate. We
Germans lay no claim to world
domination. We only ask to be left
alone in our own living space. But
as far as this living space is con
cerned, we permit no interference.
Of course, we also insist on our Just
share of our own colonies.
After the World War was over, we
Germans concentrated on the re
construction of the German nation.
The other side, however, immediately
began concentrating again on in
creasing their commercial profits.
As far as I am concerned, it has
always been my aim to liberate the
German nation. Isn't it natural that
they should hate me? If Eden or
Chamberlain don’t trust me, then I
am proud of that fact, because to be
respected and honored by them
would mean that 1 am a traitor to
the German nation.
The hatred of my enemies does
not concern me in the least. As I
have fought inside Germany for a
period of 13 years in order to achieve
harmony, so will I now fight our
external enemies. Of course they
think that the affair of 1918 can be
repeated. But little do they know
what the present-day Germany is
like. We are traveling along parallel
lines with Italy, because our Inter
ests are mutual. Likewise do we
have a complete understanding with
Russia. Of course, it is only natural
that the English should feel horrible
at not having been able to ac
complish what we have done.
Japan Friendly Neutral.
But even Japan is today not on
the side of our enemies. We can
definitely say that, at least, they
are friendly neutrals. An English
man once told me that one should
make public all the facts relating
to mutual armament programs, but
I told him that it would perhaps
be wiser if we did not do that,
because otherwise the nations at
large might feel even more uneasy.
It is the leadership of the Ger
man nation that counts. It is the
leadership which must display the
same courage as is expected to be
displayed by the common soldier.
And I am happy to say that, thank
God, today we do have just such
a leadership.
We are able to say at this time,
with the utmost assurance, that
militarily and economically, Ger
many today is invincible. As far
as I am concerned, I am nothing
but the flint which strikes the spark
out of the German nation.
Let us not forget that in our na
tional effort, as we have exerted
it in all these years, we have mo
bilized every ounce of energy there
is within the total capacity of the
Reich. We are a nation that is led
by innumerable men, by innumer
able leaders who, individually, do
all in their power to maintain the
Reich at the level of the might it
displays today.
The German nation has traversed
a slrenucras school of political edu
cation and it has emerged strong
and prified. How sorrowful is then
the spectacle of English propa
ganda, trying to bring about the
downfall of the German nation
through sowing the seed of distrust.
When these English propaganda
voices are taking to the air, their
German accent sounds as peculiar
as perhaps their own English sounds.
Ready for War to End.
They have got their war because
they have wanted it. But think of
it, these people, these plutocratic
warmongers, are the ones who think
that perhaps every 20 years they
should be in the position to tell
others how far they can develop.
But now things are different this
time; we are prepared to wage this
war as long as it may last, to the
bitter end.
Furthermore, these people forget
that during a great war they faced
us in outspoken numerical superi
ority. But today everything is vast
ly changed. We are at the peak of
our efficiency. But there is some
thing else l believe, and that is
that there is a God. This God has
given the same right to all nations.
And this God again has blessed our
efforts during the past 13 years.
Some people, of course, call it luck.

Others Providence. And others
again speak of it as coincidence.
I, however, believe that we are
here dealing with divine justice. If
you deal with people who have
given everything they have, who
have worked in the face and in the
belief that they are right, then it
cannot be but that providence, our
God, as I prefer to say, will not
abandon such a nation.
This God of whom I speak will
not abandon us. He will guide us
farther along the path we have set
our foot upon, and in this feeling
of righteousness and justice we shall
continue our efforts as we have be

be ours, because it is so ordained.
Hitler
(Continued From First Page.)
that we must be victorious; we shall
be victorious.”
"Today Italy is our friend not only
because the two leading statesmen
are friends but because idealogically
they are friends.
“Our relationship toward Russia
also has changed. I well understand
why our enemies were thrown into
consternation over this ‘meanness’
(spoken ironically). But in this case
the Russian and German regimes
have done something blessed.
"We (Russia and Germany) are
too good to bleed for the interna
tional Jewish jobbers in London.
Thereby a mighty state has left the
ranks of (prospective) belligerents
against Germany.
"You know I do not do things half
way. When I take a step I go all
the way. The hope that the situa
tion could be different tomorrow is
useless.”
This statement was taken to mean
that Hitler determined to adhere to
the non-aggression pact with Russia
without reservation; therefore, that
any hopes among Germany's ene
mies of the possibility of war be
tween her and Russia were vain.
“Japan, which in 1914 was in the
enemy camp, today is our friend.
That means three mighty states
which then were our opponents are
now benevolently neutral.”
Another factor in Germany's
favor. Hitler declared, is that the
British still think they can repeat
the conditions of the last war and
peace.
“That's why those idiotic leaflets
are thrown down,” he jibed. “Those
people have no conception of the
Germany of today.”

Welles' Visit Result
Of Puzzling Series
Of 'Peace Feelers'
Reports May Prove Only
Nazi Trial Balloons
To Test Allies
By the Auoclated Press.
A puzzling series of informal and
unofficial ‘‘peace feelers,” made here
and in Europe, greatly influenced
President Roosevelt's decision to
send Undersecretary of State Sum
ner Welles across the Atlantic to
gather information.
In the last few months the Presi
dent and State Department officials
have followed with great attention
an uninterrupted stream of such
proposals.
Generally they have come from
private citizens, merchants, bankers
and the like—mostly citizens of
Denmark, Holland, Sweden, Belgium
and Switzerland.
For the most part, the procedure
has been to seek an audience with
a statesman as near the top as pos
sible in an allied country. It is
known here that some have talked
to Lord Halifax, British foreign
secretary.
Germany Willing, They Say.
What do they say? Generally that
they have talked with a high Ger
man official—Goering has been men
tioned—that Germany would be
willing to make peace if she could
get the right terms.
What terms? It is had for them
to say. The German official was not
definite. The stories they tell do
not always agree. One peace-mak
er’s terms may be better than
another’s.
It is known that several of these
unofficial emissaries, if they can be
called that, have made the same
type of approach to officials here.
These officials frankly have not
known what to make of this activ
ity. Part of it they ascribe to the
natural desire of the small neutrals
to do all they can to achieve peace.
Their countries are suffering acutely
from the war and they stand to suf
fer Itill more before it is over. The
trade of the neutrals is seriously
damaged: many businesses face
bankruptcy.
May Be Test of Morale.
Some officials think these peace
approaches may represent an effort
by the Germans to test the allied
morale. If a peace envoy were to
report back to Germany that a
British or French high official wel
comed peace with Germany some
what along the lines the envoy sug
gested this could be taken as a sign
of weakness.
Putting to one side the informal
peace efforts which can be ascribed
solely to the initiative of citizens of
the small neutrals, it is regarded as
significant here that the inspiration
of practically all the others is Ger
many. So far as officials here can
learn, no approaches have started
out on the basis of a neutral citizen
talking to an allied statesman and
then going to see a German states
man. They have all begun with
something said by a German official.
No Official Moves.
But it is almost impossible to say
whether there is anything more in
this fact than the sending up of
trial balloons. The best-informed
officials say that no peace move
whatever has been made officially
or otherwise by the German govern
ment itself.
Consequently, Mr. Welles has beea
sent to Europe partly to see what
all these vague approaches amount
to. Where there is so much smoke
there may be a little fire, even
though smothered.
It is thought that the persons re
sponsible for initiating the peace ap
proaches might like to broach their
case more formally and concretely to
the American Undersecretary. Mr.
Welles is. of course bound by the
statement of President Roosevelt
that what foreign officials tell him
will be kept in strict confidence,
which means he cannot carry any
proposals from Germany to Britain
and France or vice versa.

All Races Feel War Pinch
As Europe Cuts Down on Food
Whole Nations Conserve on Coffee,
a?
Cod Liver Oil and Shaving Soap
By LLOYD LEHRBA8,
AuoeliteS Prcu stilt Writer.
British dogs have their own ra
tion cards and their masters, already
on bacon, ham, butter and sugar
rations, will be limited soon to Vfa
pounds of meat (including bone) a
week.
Italians are limited to l‘/2 ounces
of coffee a month, Just about enough
for four or five weak cups.
In Greece they have four meat
less and four no-hot-bath days a
week.
A German, severely rationed in
food and clothing, must make his
shaving stick last four months, and
needs a doctor’s prescription to get
real coffee.
That’s what war means at home
to both belligerent and neutral ci
vilians, according to a survey of
Commerce Department reports on
the belt-tightening, swearing-off
luxuries and cutting down on daily
necessities resulting from the Euro
pean war.
Meatless Days in France.
France has three meatless days
a week, but otherwise—alone of the
belligerents—has not rationed food
stuffs. Paris authorities have, how
ever, urged the French govern
ment to issue ration cards in Paris
and its suburbs for sugar, coffee,
oil and soap to insure an equitable
distribution and prevent price in
creases.
Germany’s submarine and mine
warfare, and need of all cargo space
for shipments of war supplies, has
forced England to dole out nearly
all human needs on a wartime
basis.
Severe curtailment of shipments
from Denmark, England's major
supply source, forced Britons to
limit themselves on January 8 to
4 ounces of bacon or ham and 4
ounces of butter a week.
Fresh supplies, brought In despite
the German submarine and mine
blockade, enabled Britons to get
double bacon-ham rations (one-half
pound weekly) beginning January
29 and gave them a half-promise
that their butter allowance (now
an ounce less than in Germany)
would increase to 6 ounces a week
some time soon.
Britain to Ration Meat.
Most British meat is imported
from Australia and Argentina in
the face of the German blockade,
and rationing will begin next month
to insure a constant supply. Each
person over 6 years old will be al
lowed to buy 37 cents’ worth each
week, not counting liver, kidneys,
tongue or other interior decorations,
or sausage* and meat pies.
The average Briton normally con
sumes about 1% pounds of beef and
mutton a week.
To save tonnoge for war supplies,
Britain has rationed sugar to 12
ounces weekly and coal to 224 pounds
weekly, prohibited the import of
cider, pickles, canned vegetables and
oysters and restricted imports of
honey, fruit Juices, caviar, crab
meat, candy and other "luxuries.”
British doctors predict that the
enforced rationing will result in
thinner, fitter Britons—and fitter
dogs.
Germany rations food and cloth
ing.
Clothing ration books have 100
coupons, permitting purchase of 42
rationed articles each "worth” so
many coupons. Men are limited to
one suit and one shirt a year add
women must get along on six patap
of stockings.
Clothing Cost in Coupons. .
A man’s suit costa 60 coupons mm
a woman’s suit 66 coupons. A shin
reduces your book by 30 coupons,
and a handkerchief 2 coupons. If
you buy a new overcoat you have
to turn in your old one. Hats are
plentiful and not rationed.
On two days a week the German
hausfrau cannot serve meat and
each German is limited to the fol
lowing weekly allowances: Meat, 12
pounds; butter, 3.05 ounces; lard,
bacon or tallow, 8.75 ounces; bread,
4.1 pounds, or 13.1 ounces of flour;
cheese, 2.18 ounces, or 4A'l ounces
of whey cheese; marmalade, 3.5
ounces.
Bread rationing caused an in
crease in sales and may be aban
doned.
Once Germany imported more
coffee than any other nation except
the United States and Prance.
Breakdown of barter trade with
Brazil and transportation difficulties
have depleted supplies until there is
none left. Germans drink "ersatz
coffee,” concocted from barley, rye,
chlchory, figs and dandelion roots.
Special ration cards are issued for
buying sweets if and when they are
available.
Because Germans have made
heavy purchases of foodstuffs and
articles not on the ration list they
have been jvarned they must volun
tarily cut down such purchases, or
else.
Special Cards for Jews.
Jews have special ration cards,
with a prominent "J” stamped on
them. These entitle them to smaller
portions than Aryan Germans, and
they have difficulties purchasing ar
ticles in which shortages exist.
Scarcity of fats and oils has
caused a limit of one bar of soap
and one package of household soap
flakes per month and one shaving
soap stick or tube per quarter year
Although a neutral, Italy has been
feeling war's pinches, and in addi
tion to coffee began rationing of
sugar (500 grams per month) on
February 1. She is expected to put
limits on soap, olive oil and rice.
Estonia has rationed sugar.
Eire (Ireland) has established
Government control of wheat and
corn, and alarmed over possible
shortage of foodstuffs has decreed
compulsory tillage of 12 V2 per cent
of all land this spring.
Tne Netherlands has set up a
food-rationing council to study the
question and take any steps neces
sary.
Many neutrals have prohibited
export of needed foodstugs, conserv
ing supplies despite high prices of
fered.
Even Iceland has prohibited the
export of foodstugs or cod liver oil
and is rationing petrol.
