Hitler Makes Implied Warning To Czechs In Upholding Con- quest.

(By The Associated Preee

BERLIN, March ldv-Relc neb- rer Hitler tonight held up Austria's fate as an implied warning to Czechoslovakia.

He asked the Rolchstaf at its farewell meeting for “ano her four years that I may create the tasks ahead in the greater Reich."

Before Hitler began his 88-min- ute speech. Field shal Her- mann Goering as Pres dent of the Relchstag announced its dissolut- ion and called legislative elections far ltohe new Pan-Germany for Ap- r .

The Feuhrer as he com leted his address announced all ermany- not only Austria-would vote in the ueblsclte on union of Austria and Germany at the same time.

A plebiscite April 10 in Austria already had been scheduled.

The new Relchstus will be the first representing the greafer Ger- many. ‘

Thanks Mussolini

Hitler thanked Premier Musso- lini egaln for hle- approval of the Austrian con ‘ and pledged:

"Ital ‘s frontiers rmnain for us invlola e, Behind this word stands the German nation." _

He pitied "the democracies" bc- cause i-hey did not understand his move into Germany's southern neighbor, a state which he said was "based upon o. stark violation of seli-deicrminatlon of the 6,000,- 000 peo le of German nationality."

The grrnan Leader stood before a cheering Rcichst which in- eluded for the first e on its government bench the new Gover- nor of Airstria. Arthur Seyss-Irrq- unit, and other representatives of what is now a German province.

Justlfles Seizure?

Justifying his swift seizure of Austria, he said his decision to march into the land of his birth {gas dictated by the realization hat otherwise bloody civil war would break out. _

"I was determined to spare Aus- tria the fate of Spain," he declar-

ed.

“(Kurt) Von Schuschnlgg can thank God I acted-dot my decis- ion saved him and 10,000 other: their lives."

Speaking slowly and enrphaall- ing each word. the moulder and master of the greater Germany declared the time was past when Germans lust across the border could be mistreated. __"T.ll£l'.¢l_¢.Qnl!_8_I_ UQLLWBQIL . J5

Peace depended on Lithuania's acceptance oi a Polish ultimatum that will expire at 3 p-m. EST, tomorrow- One Lithuanian offer already had been rejected- .
