SIR ARNOLD WILSON, M.P.<br />

"Health statistics in Germany are satisfactory. Infant mortality has been greatly reduced and is<br />

considerably inferior to that in Great Britain. Tuberculosis and other diseases have noticeably<br />

diminished. <strong>The</strong> criminal courts have never had so little to do and the prisons have never had so few<br />

occupants. It is a pleasure to observe the physical aptitude <strong>of</strong> the German youth. Even the poorest<br />

persons are better clothed than was formerly the case, and their cheerful faces testify to their<br />

psychological improvement that has been wrought within them. Economic conditions in Germany,<br />

abstraction made <strong>of</strong> the influence exerted by rearmament, are steadily progressing. Unemployment<br />

has greatly decreased.<br />

G.E.O KNIGHT<br />

Altogether, Herr Hitler has worked miracles for the new Germany. I anticipate that in a very short<br />

time, the Chancellor will have shown the world more than it ever bargained for in its wildest efforts to<br />

crush the new regime." - G.E.O Knight, In Defence <strong>of</strong> Germany<br />

JACQUES BAINVILLE, l'Action Francais<br />

"Is Hitler policy the result <strong>of</strong> his own unaided efforts? Or do his counselors influence it? At bottom,<br />

this is more or less indifferent; then he who is capable <strong>of</strong> following sound advice is just as clever as he<br />

who gives such advice.<br />

Hitler is undoubtedly lucky. Hitherto he has succeeded in everything, since even in his most<br />

impulsive moments he is a prudent calculator, and he shapes his foreign policy with the same bold<br />

imagination as he shaped the policy which was foreordained to make him the master <strong>of</strong> German's<br />

destinies.<br />

Thus he is always ahead <strong>of</strong> other governments, who are invariably a day or an idea - let us hope not an<br />

army - behindhand. When our ministers were asked if they were prepared to negotiate with the Head<br />

<strong>of</strong> the German Government they replied evasively that they were certainly ready to do so, but only in<br />

full agreement with our allies. At that very time Hitler had already concluded his non-aggression pact<br />

with Poland.<br />

Poland's leading newspaper writes; 'Hitler is the first German statesman who has found the right<br />

language at the right time. Hitler has always stressed that any treaty signed by him is worth fare more<br />

than the Treaty <strong>of</strong> Locarno. For Stressseman represented political parties which no longer existed,<br />

whereas Hitler enjoys the confidence <strong>of</strong> the whole <strong>of</strong> Germany expressed by the votes <strong>of</strong> over forty<br />

million electors.' "<br />

AMERICAN MANIFEST DESTINY<br />

"<strong>The</strong>se financial and industrial wonders had been performed without foreign loans. Of these miracles,<br />

Churchill gave this tribute: "Whatever else may be thought about these exploits they are certainly<br />

among the most remarkable in the whole history <strong>of</strong> the world."<br />

"Germans in their country are not less well cared for than the English people in theirs, but better. You<br />
