"Adolf Hitler's Germany is unshakeable."—Rudolf Hess to the representatives of the foreign Chamber of Commerce.
* * * * * * *
The President of the German Industry and Trade Board, Dr. von Renteln, welcomed the guests. Then the Fuehrer's deputy, Reichminister Rudolf Hess, began a speech' in which he spoke fully on the following—
"Germany alone shall decide German affairs. * * * All
the more however Germany must and can expect the outside world to abstain from any attempt to interfere with the internal affairs of Germany or to influence the development (of affairs) in Germany. * * * If we really determine to make ourselves independent of foreign countries, then we shall do it with the fixity of purpose which distinguishes Germany at all times when she feels herself threatened in the foundation of her existence." ,
