October 10, 1939; GERMANY TO DOMINATE EUROPE;

THIS WAS REPORTED TODAY, OCTOBER 10, 1939:


French Premier, in Address
Asserts "War Accepted Because
Germany Wants to Impose
Domination of Europe."
Recalls Conquests

(By H. Taylor Henry)
Paris —(AP)— Premier Valadmer replied to Adolf Hitler's peace overtures today with a declaration that France and Britain "will continue to fight to obtain a definite guarantee of security" for the "lasting peace of Europe."

The premier's declaration, made in a nationwide broadcast, apparently closed the door to peace negotiations on the basis of the formula advanced by Hitler in his reichstag speech Friday.

Careful consultation with Britain preceded the address in which Deladier and the allies had entered the war "because Germany wanted to impose her domination on Europe."

Was Demolished in Few
Weeks As He Makes Plea for
Winter Relief Work — Again
Blames Allies

Berlin —AP— Adolf Hitler declared today that if Germany's "readiness for peace" was declined Germany was determined "to take up the fight and fight it out one way or the other. "In a few weeks the state which thought it could threaten German interests most insolently (Poland) has been demolished—thanks to our soldiers and our military strategy," the Fuehrer declared.” What the future may bring we do not know. But of this we are certain: No power on earth ever again will be able to force Germany to her knees.  "They will not defeat us militarily, economically or psychically."

Tremendous cheering greeted this declaration, delivered in a speech in Berlin's huge Sportspalast winter relief campaign.
GREAT TASKS AHEAD
Hitler declared Germany was determined to fight the war to the bitter end if necessary and once more laid-the responsibility for continuing the struggle on the reich's adversaries.
