The new Rusk County Equali-
sation Tax System bill that was
passed through the Texas legisla-
ture in record time this week in-
cludes counties with population
ranging from 35,000 to 68,000,
County Supt. Harvey Hays said
today.
Valuation of property was set
at $75,000,000 The new bill will
give Rusk County an Equalization
Tax System for many years.
The bill, Hays stated, passed the
Senate by a 28 to 0 vote in the
record time of five minutes. Sen-
ator Joe L. Hill of Henderson in-
troduced the measure in the up-
per house. State Rep. Walter Fer-
guson of Overton, pushed the bill
through the House of Representa-
tives in ten minutes. The House
vote was 120 to 2.
The bill continues the Leath H.
B. 1096 that brought approximate-
ly $250,000 to Rusk County schools
last year. Hays estimated that It
would mean approximately $2,-
500,000 for the county school sys-
tem during the next ten years.
The act has been held constitu-
tional by the Texas Supreme
Court.

The inner life of man should be
the real spirit of prayer—not the
outer adornment — Dr. E. D.
Head, Houston pastor, told an au-
dience at the First Baptist Church
revival meeting here this morning.
His subject was ‘‘Hindered
Prayer.”
"Adorn the inner man with a
quiet, meek spirit," he implored
the revival crowd, "so that your
prayers be not hindered."
Dr. Head said that as one prays
he should throw out sham, pre-
tense, lusts’ for material things
and selfishness. Michael Angelo,
the great painter, /Worked with a
light on his cap so that the shadow
of his t form would not pe across
his masterpiece while he was
working. So, man should throw
out one’s self and selfishness as
he prays, praying for the glory
of God, the noted minister stated.
Secret' sins and idols in the
heart, any earthly pleasures that
masters one, and a spirit of un-
forgiveness in the heart wreck
prayer and its purpose, he said,
urging Christians to "break down
every idol and come humble to His
throne of grace.’’

tist Training Union night at the

LONDON. (UP) — Great Brit-
ain stepped up her preparedness
program today In reply to Adolf
Hitler’s "half defiant and half
concillstory” reply to President
Roosevelj’s peace plea.
Denunciation of the German-
British naval limitations treaty
was regarded as an empty politi-
cal gesture as far as Britain was
concerned, but the denunciation
of Germany’s friendship treaty
with Poland was considered a
stroyed in a territory in which
almost 140,000,000 persons had to
find an existence, a regime which
was created by almost 2,000 years.
"Later when this set up proved
a catastrophe then the democratic
peace dictators of America and
European origin were so cowardly
that none of them would take re-
sponsibility for what happened.
"Our people were plunged into
the darkest period of their nation-
al misfortune. And mark you!
This waif not National Socialist
(Nazi) Germany but democratic
Germany. It was that Germany
which for a moment was weak
enough to believe the promises of
democratic statesmen.”
The people had been misled, he
continued, by “an irresponsible
Jewish press.” Public opinion de-
teriorated until Germany was
ripe for the international Jewish
revolutionists and the “democrat-
ic dictators” had at last forced
the peace of misery upon the Ger-
man people.
Germany has been robbed of her
colonies although they were with-
out any value to the imperial de-
mocracies, and an attempt was
made to levy tribute on the Reich
for 70 to 100 years. The "demo-
cratic peace dictators" did not
realize that they would destroy
world trade as well as Germany.
Germany was in chaos and tur-
rfioil and decay when the Nazis
started their movement, he con-
tinued. Now the nation is strong
and healthy.
Hitler said he had never har-
bered any illusions that a uni-
versally acceptable solution of the
national problems plaguing Eu-
rope could not be found.
There is a fundamental clash of
Interests in Europe and it can be
^worked out only with great pati-
ence, he continued.
His "peaceful attitude”
?ver been dictated by fear.
After the return of the SAAR
District, there was no reason for
any conflict with France. If ten-
sion between the tw’o nations con-
tinued, it was the fault of "irre-
sponsible international interests
which feared for loss of their capi-
talistic , profits.”
Hitler said that none of the
Nordic countries could complain
that Germany had demanded any-
thing from them. Germany enjoys
the most cordial relaitons with
Italy and with Italy’s friend, Jugo-
slavia he said.
- _|Jowever, Hitler said he had
never hidden the fact that the
wrongs of the peace treaties: in
Regard to Austria would have to
be redressed.
“The criminals of Versailles not
only smashed the German strength
in the east,” he said, but forbade
Germans there to unite with those
in the Reich.
“I would have been a traitor”
to abandon the idea of re-uniting
Germany, he declared.
Bohemia and Moravia (former
Czechoslovak provinces) were
“German living space which was
temporarily vacated in the Mid-
dle Ages when Slav tribes forced
their way in.
“These have no permanent claim
to that space,” he declared.
Anyway the space is, economi-
cally, a part of the German “wirth-
ochafteraum” (economic space).
For centuries, he said, the
Czechs and Germans have lived in
that space peacefully, side by side.
But the “criminals of Versailles”
created an artificial state there,
“stealing” the territory from ad-
joining states to create a per-
manent threat to Germany’s flank.
This new state had only one role
to play in the "game, of the im-
perial democracies,” he said and
that w-as to furnish a bridge to
middle Europe for Asiatic and
Bolshevist ideas. He claimed that
he had never denied his intention
to rectify an "impossible” condi-
tion.
Germany acquiesced only while
the “international traitors” were
kept in power in Berlin by their
foreign friends. With the ascent
of Nazism, the solution of the
problem was only a question of
time.
The help given Czechoslovakia
by the democracies had only the
aim of keeping intact a bulwark
against Grmany, he said. The de-
mocracies held the Czechoslovak-
ian territory as a “taking off
place” for hostile air pow'er which
could destroy German industry "in
a few hours.
“It is only understandable if
the German Leadership on its
part decided to destroy this hos-
tile air field,” Hitler said.
Germans have long held the
Czech people in high esteem, he
continued, ana some day the
Czechs would realize thetr true
interests had been safeguarded by
Germany.
“I am grateful that this problem
has been solved peacefully d .-
spite all the machinations of the
democracies,” he said, referring
to the dissolution of Czechoslo-
vakia.
In March 1938 he said he
thought the Czech problem could
be solved by “slow evolution” but
the Czech mobilization in May,
defeated Germany's diplomatic
efforts and made him realise that
more drastic steps had to be
taken.
“J was willing to wait years for
a peaceful solution,” he said, "tut
the democracies could not stand
for th^t. They wanted to shed
blood and in order to prevent a
war I had to mobilize the German
army.”
This reference was along much
the same line as recent British of-
ficial statements that their mili-
tary precautions have been for
ehe purpose of preventing war.
"The democracies wanted eith-
Germany should back ,
down or that n Czech-German war (
should stir up all other nations j
sufficiently to permit them to (
start another world war,” he

THE HENDERSON DAILY NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1989 —--—
fications (facing France) are so
strong no power on earth can
break them, the Fuehrer said.
The war mongers want to see
"blood shed — not their blood, of
course, but the blood of others be-
cause they (the war mongers)
stand not where the bullets fiy
but where the profits flow.”
If the western democracies
(Britain and France) had not in-
tervened, the Munich conference
would not have been necessary.
Hitler said. All problems between
Germany and Czechoslovakia
could have been peacefully solved.
The guarantee of the revised
Czechoslovak frontiers given at
Munich had never become valid
because the claims of the Hun-
garians and Poles were not ful-
filled.
He referred in detail to the "in-
ternal confusion” in Czechoslo-
vakia after Munich, and said that
this state of affairs” was not the
fault of Germany which could not
be held responsible for the contin-
uation of a condition which was
undesirable to both Hungary and
Poland. He recalled that those
countries wanted the Ruthenian
area of the former Czechoslovak
state in order to form a common
frontier.
The mere fact that Germany
did not insist on the integrity of
Ruthenia, shows that the Reich
did not want a road toward the
Rumanian frontier. He said that
he could not consent to continu-
ance of a “senseless arsenal” in
central Europe that was a threat
to the Reich. He e.iumerated the
arms taken ow . from the Czechs
by Germany.
“It is fortunate for millions and
millions of young Europeans that
I have succeeded in eliminating
this international cache of ex-
plosives,” he said. “The conten-
tion that my solution of the prob-
lem is not in comnliance with the
spirit of Munich can not be up-
held.”
It is "self understood’’ that Ger-
many had to look after the ir.ter-
est jt_ had in the Czech “living
space,” he continued;—because
Germany could not be expected
to subordinate its policy to
“Downing Street”-nGreat Britain.
Hitler said that he could not
understand how Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain—-who virtu-
ally accused the Fuehrer of breaa.
ing his word by seizing Czecho-
slovakia—could complain about
the Germany policy.
The peoples most directly con-
cerned have not addressed them-
selves to the western Democracies,
he said, but only to Italy and Ger-
many.
The gentlemen’s agreement
reached at Munich, he continued,
could only have meant that all
German-English problems would
be solved amicably in the future.
If Chamberlain had a different
opinion of the friendly statement
he signed with him “and thinks
that the pact has been broken I
nm willing to bear the conse-
quences,” Hitler said.
“I have always pursued a policy
of peace and friendship toward

hundred and ten policemen wait-
ed vainly for trouble-makers last
night when a nervous Hollywood s
turned out for the world pre-
miere of the first anti-Hitler
propaganda movie, "Confessions
of a Nazi Spy.’’
Police patrolled the roof of the
show house. They stalked down
all surrounding alleys, hid behind
every palm in the lobby, stood
in the washrooms, guarded the
ventilating plant and even divert-
ed all traffic from Wilshire
Boulevard, busiest street in
Southern California. j
The picture was shown with-
out a hitch.
England,” he added, saying that
he knew that nil overseas posses-
sions of the British empire were
acquired "by force and often by
the most brutal force” but that he
realized that all empires were
founded in that fashion.
He said he highly respected the
accomplishments of the British
empire but that it could not in-
terfere with the interests of the
German people.
Hitler pointed out that Germany
became an empire in the middle
ages although religious quarrels
later relegated that empire to a
secondary role in Europe.
"I want to emphasize that we
Germans have no feeling of in-
feriority towards the Britons.
“We have overcome the handi-
cap of a disunited Reich and' to-
day we are in no way inferior to
the British. We can rely on our
own strength and the strength of
our friends.”
“I have heard that Mr. Cham-
berlain can no longer trust my
word,” he added. "Naturally. I
cannot under these circumstances
force upon England a course
which must be founded on confi-
dence.’’
He said that in London "they
seem to regard a war against
Germany as inevitable.” The
British "misunderstood our policy
of continued friendship.
"I never thought’ that the colo-
nial question could be a cause of
war between Germany and Eng-
land. Beyond that I have never
made any demand which clashed
with British interests.”
He. said that if Britain "insists
on a policy of enc’reiement" of
the Reich "then the foundation
has been knocked from beneath"
the nnvnl treaty limiting Germany
to 35 per cent of British naval
strength.
"I would still be happy to reach
a clear cut agreement with Eng-
land,” he said. "No nation need
fear being robbed by German
might.”
Memel, he said, was taken from
Germany by the Versailles Treaty
but problems arising from it had
been solved peacefully and Ger-
many had not asked for a single
square mile of territory more than
she formerly possessed.
The Reich "is not only an ex- I
porter but an excellent market for |
agricultural products of eastern
Europe,” and it was resolved not |
to tolerate pressure against its
natural markets by the Democra- i
cies.
The Fuehrer said it was wrong
to speak of the "dependence” of
these European agricultural states
on Germany for Industrial pro.
ducts, as Germany is at least as
dependent on them for farm pro-
ducts.
He declared he was happy to
announce that close economic re-
lations with Lithuania were near
at hand.
Turning to Poland, he branded
as a "lie” charges that the Nazis I
had mobilized against the Poles, j
He said that the Polish corridor ' •
was designed to keep Poland and
Germany “forcer apart” hut that
he realized Poland needed access
to the sea.
He saw "eye to eye" with the
late Marshal Joseph Pilsudski,
FIDRS
the past resorted to war.
He said he did not know of
three nations which had lost their
independence as Mr. Roosevelt
said. , Which nations could the
American President mean? All of
the peoples in Afrlc^and most
in Asia are bearing a yoke but
that yoke does not bear the label
"made In Germany."
Why does not Mr.
name the countries which feel
threatened by war? he contin-
ued. If only he would name them,
any misunderstanding could quick-
ly and easily be clarified.
Theoretically, Hitler agreed, all
problems can be solved around a
conference table, but reason has
not always prevailed at such con-
ferences. It must be understood
that those fortunate empires
wliieh find all things they need
within their borders must not de-
ny less fortunate peoples access
to raw materials.
One attempt to solve all prob-
lems around the conference table
lias been made, he pointed out, but
the United States was the first
nation to withdraw from the
League of Nations.
Only one nation in the world
has been stupid enough to disarm
and lay down its arms in the hope
of finding justice from a peace
conference, he said, and that one
nation was Germany which was
misled at the end of the World
War by United States President,
Woodrow Wilson.
Hitler assailed the American
Press and asked why Mr. Roose-
velt failed tp ask all other coun-
tries to give an outline of their
foreign policies as he had asked
Germany.
Hitler recalled that, 20 years
ago, he was an "unknown work-
er.”
“You and I, Mr. President," he
said, “came to power at the same
tinie. And you had resources at
your disposal, Mr. President,
which excells ours a hundred
times. I am sure that you have
found it so easy to solve all of
your problems that now you turn
to the world at large."

“I work on a smaller scale. I
have to confine myself to the
destines of the Nation of which
I am the head.”
Hitler declared Germany’s peace-
ful intentions, proclaiming that
she threatens no Nation. Presi-
dent Roosevelt’s questions to
Germany, constituted an unfound-
ed insinuation. He solemnly de-
clared Germany has no aggress-
ive intentions against the United
States*
He characterized the
guarantee to Poland as
| friendly gesture. All <
| has asked of Britain, he said,
the return, of her colonies.
Hitler re-affirmed the solidity
of the Berlin-Rome axis, declar-
ing that the bonds between Ger-
many and Italy cannot be sever-
ed, and that the two Nations may
enter into even closer co-opera-
tion with Japan.
He revealed that Germany Is
negotiating with *-”■
greater economic
that country.
In touching briefly on the war
in Spain, he said Germany and
Italy had sought no material ad-
vantage and he hoped to welcome
the German troops home from
there.
Hitler’s speech was generally
•regarded here as having a mark-
ed tone of sarcasm rather than
bitterness or invective. It con-
stituted a broadside rejection of
the President’s proposals, al-
though at no point did Hitler
come- out with a flat “I refuse."
Hitler did not—entreat an inch
from the German economic
"Monroe Doctrine" for Central
and Southeastern Europe. He
stressed that any trade agree-
ments with the Nations in that
area would be to their advantage
as much as Germany’s. In other
words, he emphasized the ideas
of partnership for mutual ad-
vantage rather than the idea of
any conquest by Germany. er that
J !
nition Germany had extended to
treaties to which Poland was sig-
natory, does not extend to new
treaties concluded since the death
of Pilsudski.
However, he said, if Poland
needs access to the sea, so does
Germany need access to east Prus-
sia which is separated by the Pol-
ish corridor from the rest of the
Reich.
Hitler then declared
pathway
(probably an
owned by Germany)
have any militay significance.
Hitler then presented his de-
mands on Poland:
1. Solution of the problem of
the Free City of Danzig, which
Germany wants returned to tile
Reich.
2. A pathway for Germany
across the Polish corridor.
"Danzig must be returned to
the Reich," he said. "The Polish
borders must be rectified.
"The Polish government has de-
clined by suggestions. I regret
such an attitude. Like Czecho-
slovakia, Pol'nd now stands un-
der the pressure of the interna-
tional war mongers. Rather than
accept the generous German of-
fer of a 25-year pact, they prefer
to arm against an imagined dan-
ger.
"Danzig Is German and will
never be Polish.”
Hitler reiterated that Germany
considers t’ e new agreement be-
tween Britain and Poland—a» yet
unannounced publicly as having
been signed by Poland—an
friendly gesture.
He then said that Poland
violated the German-Polish
aggression treaty, negotiated by
Pilsudski, and that “I now con.
sider it as no longer existing.”
Turning to Spain, he said Ger-
many’s role hnd been maligned.
Germany and Italy never desired
any material advantages when
they intervened for the National-
ists: they were fighting for “an
ideal.” They wanted to stop the
mass murder of the Spanish peo-
ple perpetrated by "the Bolshevis-
tic government and "so heartily
approved" by the western Democ-
racies and America.
He said he hoped to welcome .
"the German fighters back from 1
Spain” in the near future.
Italy, Hitler said, had shown
sympathy and understanding of
Germany's needs and Germany
reciprocated.
"These bonds cannot be sever-
ed,” he said.
Even closer cooperation among
Italy, Japan and Germany can
be expected, he said.
Coming specifically to the
Roosevelt message,' the Fuehrer
said that it was "a peculiar” doc-
ument and that he would analyze
it for the Reichstag.
The fear o’ war has always ex-
isted, he said. The United States
participated in forceful interven-
tions against Germany after the
World War, he pointed out.
He said that if the heads of all
governments would Impose upon
themselves and their press more
reticence, the fear of war would
diminish.
He said he agreed fully with
Mr. Roosevelt’s preference for a
peaceful solution of international
problems. He said he had never in

to require fingerprints on the li-
