HITLER, FASCIST, CHOSEN
NEW GERMAN PREMIER
BERLIN, Oct. 8.—Germans are
referring to Adolph Hitler’s book,
“My Fight,” republished this year,
for enlightenment as to the aims of
Hitler, who is the new prime minis
ter as the result of the recent elec
tions, which gave* ''y'fascist party1
victory.
Hitler wrote that Germany must
aim at conquest in Russia because of
:he untold wealth in the eastern ter
ritory. He justifies this course by '
saying Germany must widen its fron
tiers or perish.
‘‘The land which means the life of
i>ur people can come only through the
might of a victorious sword,” he
ivrote. “The everlasting conflict with
France will never be decided by Ger
many continuing passive defensive
:actics” and he predicts a last fight
;o the finish.
Hitler says Germany’s only two
possible allies for a long time will be
England and Italy because they can
lot further aid France without block
ng their own progress.
His book is called the German
Fascist Bible.
