Associated Press Staff Writer) BERLIN. Dec. l0—<AP)—I-Iltler demanded work and patience from the German people today: work. for “with it we will defeat the en- tire world"; patience, because. he cautioned. the war won't be wun tomorrow. Hitler spoke to workers ill tho Borslg munitions plant here. It was primarily a speech fol" the home folks. ‘Iliere was little reference to foreign policy. although Hitler list- ed "rich America" among the "have" nations and himself as the the “have riots." There was no offer of any kind to his enemies or to other nations. He implied that the war with Bri- tain is a fight to the finish be- tween two systems: two worlds. The 90-minute speech left the impression that Hitler's chief ob- jects were to spur the German viorkei" on to ever-greater efforts and to tell the Reich that there may be an indefinite period of yvaiting. The whole war the Fuehrer termed was one between gold and lilbor-German labor. "I know." said Hitler, "that. whatever was done ln three or four or five centuries a single per- son cannot move wlthin two, or three, or five years." But. he went on. our capacity for work is our gold. our capital; and with it we will defeat the en- tire world. . . LONDON.

It was found surprising that there were no references to present relptionr with Italy, Japan and Soviet Russia. “Whatever happens, Germany will be victorious." He referred to the system of the "have" nations, as he put it, and said: "The slogan of liberty really means freedom of economy. name- IDE GUARDIAN‘ AND PRINCE COUNTY CHRONICLE PERHIMES FDR CHRISTMAS DAREFREE.

Battle of Britain A turning point In World History NEW YORK, Dec 4 —(APi —One of America's chief air strategists believes last summer's "Battle of Britain" will go down beside Mara- thon and Waterloo as a turning point in world history. Major Gen. James E. Chaney. commanding the northeastern dis- trlct, United States army air corps in an interview at Laguardla Held yesterday after a. 43-day stay in England. said "at the rate they are going, the British won't lose the ar. “I believe that in the air battle over Ekiglarid in August and Sap- iember." he added. "historians will find material to record it as one of the decisive battles of the war.- eq decisive as the elghtto l2 battles from Marathon to Water- loo. “My observations abroad have led rno to the belief that Ehiglazld can't lose this wlu‘, unless she becomes over-confident or careless." He expressed doubt that. Ger- many's numerical warplane super- iority over the British was as larlle as has been thought. but said the Nazi planes were of high quality and their fuel uniformly good.
