“Shortly thereafter the Reich Bank president and Reich Minister of Economics, Dr. Schacht, published in the English magazine, Foreign Affairs, a detailed article on the German colonial problem.”
That is on Page 2, I believe, of the English translation.
“For the rest Dr. Schacht laid out the categorical demand that Germany must, in order to solve the problem of its raw materials, get colonies which must be administered by Germany and in which the German standard currency must be in circulation.”
Now, the next group are articles dealing with the Versailles Treaty, and I will quote only from a few of them on Page 3 of that same translation. Here is one of 7 April 1934, Page 14, “What is the Situation Regarding Our Battle for Equal Rights?”. Another is entitled, “The Dictate of Versailles,” 30 June 1934, Page 15. The article reads in part:
“The dictate of Versailles established the political, economical, and financial destruction of Germany in 440 artfully—one could also say devilishly—devised paragraphs; this work of ignominy is a sample of endless and partly contradictory repetitions in constantly new forms. Not too many have occupied themselves with this thick book to a great extent, for one could only do it with abomination.”
Another title is 7 July 1934, Page 15, “The Unbearable Limitations on our Fleet.” Another one: 19 January 1935, Page 13, “Versailles after 15 Years.” This article reads in part:
“This terrible word ‘Versailles’, since a blind nation ratified it, has become a word of profanity for all those who are infatuated with the spirit of this enormous production of hatred. The Versailles dictate is German fate in the fullest sense of the word. Every German bore up under the operation of this fate during the past 15 years. Therefore, every last German must also grasp the contents of this dictate so that one single desire of its absolute destruction fills the whole German Volk.”
I shall omit the other quotation. The last one I shall refer to is February 1937, quoting “Versailles Will Be Liquidated”; and that, if Your Honor pleases, is the last paragraph on Page 4 of the English translation:
“The National Socialist movement has again achieved a victory, for upon its flag since the beginning of the fight stands: The liquidation of the Versailles Treaty. For this fight the SA marched year after year.”
