the Prague government because oi
ihe fighting words with which he cap

from the massed Nazis within the
congress hall.
"They will receive help from. us.
The depriving of the rights of these
people must end.
"German self-restraint has been taken
by many as a sign of weakness
1 want to correct that mistake."
Then, with a ringing defiance that
held his audience tense the man who
was ail obscure corporal in the last
great war boasted of the armed might
of the German relch where 1,350,000
troops are under arms awaiting his
orders.
Since May 28?a few days after war
threatened along the German-Czech
border?the "most gigantic fortficaiions"
have been built along the
Rhiti'land facing France, he said.
These fortresses, consisting of 18,000
steel and concrete units built by
2T8.000 men working day and night,
are ready and "effective," Hitler said.
"Behind this line stands the armed
Qeruiauy."
Hitler said his patience would not
continue long "while the Germans of
Czecho-Slovakia are oppressed."
"God did not create 7,500,000 Czechs
to that they might maltreat 3,500,000
Germans.
"The 3.500.000 Germans are creatures

h lu the early part of his speech he
made only veiled reference to Czechoslovakia.
s
He told of the persecutions of the
Nazis in the early days of their sfrug.
gles in Germany.
"The factor recalling those times
to us is that similar events (the persecutions)
are on the world scene today."
he said. "Our enemies are tho
same." ?
. He bitterly condemned the Western
democracies, accusing them of working
hand-in-hand with Russian bolshevisni.
, There are only two nations In the
world today, he said, who can claim
j to be leading their people?Italy and
Germany.
"The democracies have accused us
of being dictatorships while the bolshevist
dictatorship and the Jewish
capitalists art) working togother," he
, said.
Hitler applauded Italys new antiJewish
program and referred to Jews
| as "the parasites of tho world."
Der fuehrer reviewed at length the
, struggles and rise of the Nazi party
from the days of his abortive Munish
"beer cellar putsch." saying that many
had scoffed at tho thought of Nazism
accomplishing high tasks of leadership.
"The old German nationalists were
suspicious of the Nazi government."
he said. "They believed the party
, would be unable to determine Its own
policy because It was a worker's party
and lacked Intellectual leadership.
They waited for the moment when
the 'drummer,' myself, would be replaced
by a 'real statesman.'
"Now 75.000,000 people of this relch
alone are Nazis.
"This unity of the early days had
been extended to all groups and that
is the reason the foreign element
which could never be fused Into the
nation?namely, the Jews?had to be
eliminated.'
Today, he said, there is hardly a
German who does not belong to some
Nazi organization.
"They include even German citizens
In foreign countries," he boasted.
"The party Is sovereign In power
and may adopt even unpopular measures
if necessary."
He spoke of the "bitter irony" of a
regime which "maintains Its rule by
shooting and tortures" and Is, at the
same time, member of the League of
Nations.
The. democracies, he said, for yearB
have tried to deprive Germany of the
most fundamental human rights.
"They subjected Germany with
bloody force," he said, "they denied
us colonies and the whole world objected
against giving back our colonies
to us."
Hitler referred to the recent Czechoslovak
municipal elections and alleged
that the Prague government planned
to intimidate Sudetens near the
German border by massing Czech
troops there.
In order to do this, he said President
Bdward Benes of Czecho-Slovakia
"invented" the story of German
troop mobilizations near the border,
ready to* Invade Czecho-Slovakia.
This "fabrication." according to Hitler,
Immediately was refuted. But the
Czechs, he said, Insisted upon continuing
the falsehood in order to practice
intimidation against the Sudetens.
"I declare that at the time not one
(German) soldier above the normal
number was called to the colors or
moved out of garrisons." der fuehrer
'?aid.
"Germany had no Intention or
I marching. Vou understand that this
; great power cannot tolerate such a
base attack a second time.
"I therefore drew the necessary
conclusions and took important measures
May 28. First. I ordered the
German air force strengthened and
then ordered fortifications built in the
west (along the French border on the
(Rhine).
j "Since May 28 the most gigantic
fortifications have been built in the
west. I gave Todt constructor of high
speed federal highways) ^.new tasks.
He has achieved tremendous work.
' Hitler said he considered it "neceeaary"
to discufSw the Sudeten Oermans'
plight before the tenth Naal party
congresn becaeae It 1. the flr.t rally
attended by Narl atalwaru of Aoatrta.now

we would not be worthy of the name
of Germans II we were not ready to
bear all the consequences," he said.
Hitler, Informing Britain and France
that he had no objections to their
measures of security and demanding
the same right for Germany, said:
"We signed the Anglo-German naval
treaty not because we could not build
more ships but because of our desire
to never cross words with Britain
again."
Hitler said that Germany and Italy,
united In the Rome-Berlin axis, are
"rejuvenated nations," but that their
youth rests on historical foundations.
Der fuehrer ended his speech on a
thunderous crescendo of "Hells!" at
8:35 p. m. (3:35 p. m. E. D. T.) with
the statement:
"Germany and the Roman empire
are old powers and no power In the
world can destroy them. Ton may go

"election would contribute little to
practical government."

NEW USE FOR TUPELO WOOD
Tho lowly tupolo was only recently
the Cinderella of the woods. Then
along came our furniture manufacturer

service. The pulp mills making
white papers found out, over twentyfive
years ago, that the tupelo was
just grand for paper making.
Our cigar boxes siill look like Spanish
cedar but the Spanish cellar is
sliced thin, one hundred and twenty
sheets to the Inch, and glued on both
sides of thin tupelo boards to make
cigar box wood. Some cigar box wood
is Just tupelo with a Spanish cedar
grain imprinted on it by a rotary
press. Only a very few of our cigars
are packed in boxes made entirely of
cedar.
Now we find that tupelo is about
to grace milady's boudoir, the dining
room and the master's den in the
form of panelling Just because some
observing persons found that the
oreamy white wood can be cut so that
the dark streaks make a pleasing pattern.

Is rapidly becoming the prized one of
