French newspapers expressed anger today over Chancellor Adolf Hitler’s speech at Munich yesterday in which he renewed demands for fulfillment of Germany’s colonial claims and referred scornfully to the Palestine problem.
The violent language of the Fuehrer in his Munich speech will only serve to harden the British opponents whom he is fighting, L’Action Francaise (Royalist) declared. His charges, notably those regarding Palestine, are offensive to all classes of Britons, the newspaper added.
(In his address at Munich, Chancellor Hitler referred to Palestine as a place where the British have consecrated “their infallible wisdom,” and added: “What is going on in Palestine strangely resembles force and very little democracy.”)
