    [continued from previous message]

    And while others are working a whole generation, perhaps in order
    to
    <br>
    get a small house or to have a carefree retirement, we put our
    lives
    <br>
    at stake and have begun this difficult struggle. If we win, and we
    are
    <br>
    convinced we will, though we may die penniless we will have helped
    <br>
    create the biggest movement which will now extend over all Europe
    and
    <br>
    the whole world. (Loud applause)
    <br>
    <br>
    The first three principles were clear, and they are inseparable
    from
    <br>
    each other. Socialism as the final concept of duty, the ethical
    duty
    <br>
    of work, not just for oneself but also for one’s fellow man’s
    sake,
    <br>
    and above all the principle: Common good before own good, a
    struggle
    <br>
    against all parasitism and especially against easy and unearned
    <br>
    income. And we were aware that in this fight we can rely on no one
    but
    <br>
    our own people. We are convinced that socialism in the right sense
    <br>
    will only be possible in nations and races that are Aryan, and
    there
    <br>
    in the first place we hope for our own people and are convinced
    that
    <br>
    socialism is inseparable from nationalism. (Loud applause)
    <br>
    <br>
    To be nationalist does not mean for us to belong to one party or
    <br>
    another, but to show with every action that one benefits the
    people;
    <br>
    it means love for all the people without exception. From this
    point of
    <br>
    view we will realize that it is necessary to preserve the most
    <br>
    precious thing a people has, the sum of all active creative powers
    of
    <br>
    its workers, to keep it healthy in body and soul.(Cheers) And this
    <br>
    view of nationalism compels us to immediately form a front against
    its
    <br>
    opposite, the Semitic conception of the idea of people (Volk), and
    <br>
    especially against the Semitic concept of work. Since we are
    <br>
    socialists, we must necessarily also be antisemites because we
    want to
    <br>
    fight against the very opposite: materialism and mammonism.
    (Lively
    <br>
    bravo!)
    <br>
    <br>
    And when today the Jew still runs into our factories and says: How
    can
    <br>
    you be a socialist antisemite? Are not you ashamed? - there comes
    a
    <br>
    time in which we will ask: How can you not be an antisemite, being
    a
    <br>
    socialist! (Hear, hear) There comes a time when it will be obvious
    <br>
    that socialism can only be carried out accompanied by nationalism
    and
    <br>
    antisemitism. The three concepts are inseparably connected. They
    are
    <br>
    the foundations of our program and therefore we call ourselves
    <br>
    National Socialists. (Cheers)
    <br>
    <br>
    How to proceed
    <br>
    <br>
    Finally, we know how great the social reforms must be so that
    Germany
    <br>
    may recover. If it doesn’t happen, perhaps the only reason will be
    too
    <br>
    modest efforts. We know that one will have to cut deep. We will
    not be
    <br>
    able to come around the national problem and the issue of land
    reform,
    <br>
    and the problem of care for all those who, day after day, are
    working
    <br>
    for the community and in their old age this care must not be a
    <br>
    pittance, but they have a right to have their old days be still
    worth
    <br>
    living.
    <br>
    <br>
    If we wish to make these social reforms, this must go hand in hand
    <br>
    with the fight against the enemy of every social institution:
    Jewry.
    <br>
    Here too we know that scientific knowledge can only be the
    groundwork,
    <br>
    but that behind this knowledge must stand an organization which
    one
    <br>
    day will be able to go over into action. And in this action we
    will
    <br>
    remain adamant, which means: removal of Jews from amongst our
    people
    <br>
    (Loud and long sustained applause and clapping), not because we
    <br>
    begrudge them their existence – we congratulate the rest of the
    world
    <br>
    on account of their visits (great hilarity) – but because we value
    the
    <br>
    existence of our own people a thousand times higher than that of
    an
    <br>
    alien race. (Bravo!)
    <br>
    <br>
    And since we are convinced that this scientific antisemitism that
    <br>
    clearly recognizes the terrible danger of this race for any people
    can
    <br>
    only be a guide, and the masses will always perceive them
    emotionally
    <br>
    – for they know the Jew first and foremost as the man in daily
    life
    <br>
    who always and everywhere sticks out – our concern must be to
    arouse
    <br>
    in our people the instinct against Jewry and whip it up and stir,
    <br>
    until they come to the decision to join the movement which is
    willing
    <br>
    to take the consequences. (Bravo and applause.)
    <br>
    <br>
    Some people tell us: Whether you succeed depends eventually on
    whether
    <br>
    you have the sufficient money and so on. To this, I think I can
    say
    <br>
    the following: Even the power of money is somehow limited; there
    is a
    <br>
    certain limit beyond which, eventually, not the money rules but
    the
    <br>
    truth. And we are all aware that, once the millions of our workers
    <br>
    realize who are the leaders who now promise them a blissful future
    <br>
    kingdom, when they recognize that everywhere gold is at play, they
    <br>
    will throw the gold in their face and declare: Keep your gold and
    <br>
    don’t think that you can buy us. (Bravo!)
    <br>
    <br>
    And we do not despair if we maybe still stand alone, if we today,
    <br>
    wherever we go, do see potential supporters but nowhere the
    courage to
    <br>
    join the organization. That should not lead us astray; we have
    <br>
    accepted the fight and we must win it. I have assured you before
    the
    <br>
    election that this election would not decide Germany’s fate, that
    <br>
    after this election no recovery would come and, already today, I
    think
    <br>
    most of you will agree with me. I could predict it back then
    because I
    <br>
    knew that the courage and the will to act were absent everywhere.
    <br>
    <br>
    We have proclaimed as our election platform only one thing: Let
    the
    <br>
    others go to the polls today, to the Reichstag, to the parliaments
    and
    <br>
    loll in their club chairs; we want to climb up the beer tables and
    <br>
    pull the masses with us. We’ve kept this promise and will keep it
    in
    <br>
    the future. Tirelessly and constantly, as long as we have a spark
    of
    <br>
    strength and a breath in the lungs, we will come out and call all
    our
    <br>
    people; and always tell the truth until we can begin to hope that
    this
    <br>
    truth will prevail. Till the day finally comes when our words fall
    <br>
    silent and action begins. (Stormy bravo! and long-lasting
    applause.)
    <br>
    <br>
    (Pause and discussion)
    <br>
    <br>
    Closing remarks of the speaker Hitler:
    <br>
    <br>
    Ladies and gentlemen! We are not as dreadful as our primary enemy
    and
    <br>
    we cannot shatter Jewry by ourselves; we do not imagine it is so
    easy.
    <br>
    However, we have decided not to come with any buts and ifs. But
    once
    <br>
    the matter comes to the solution, it will be done, and done
    <br>
    thoroughly.
    <br>
    <br>
    What the gentleman said, that for him it doesn’t matter – any
    person
    <br>
    is a human being – I agree, as long as that person does not get in
    the
    <br>
    way. But when a great race systematically destroys the life
    conditions
    <br>
    of my race, I say no, no matter where they ‘belong.’ In that case,
    I
    <br>
    say that I am one of those who, when they get a blow on the left
    <br>
    cheek, they return two or three. (Bravo!)
    <br>
    <br>
    Then a gentleman said that our movement would mean a battle into
    which
    <br>
    the working class would be drawn. Yes, and we (the social
    democrats
    <br>
    and communists?) will promise our people Heaven on Earth, and
    after
    <br>
    the fools have fought for forty years, then instead of the Heaven
    <br>
    they’ll have nothing but a pile of rubble and misery. That mistake
    we
    <br>
    will not make. (Bravo!) We do not promise any Heaven but the one
    <br>
    thing, that if you are determined to carry out this program in
    <br>
    Germany, maybe once again the time will come in which you will be
    able
    <br>
    to have a life. If you carry out the glorious reform which these
    <br>
    gentlemen here wish, you will in an even shorter time face the
    need to
    <br>
    embellish this life with the very same decrees which their leaders
    <br>
    Trotsky and Lenin issue now: Those who are not willing to fight
    for
    <br>
    the blessings of that State, die.
    <br>
    <br>
    Finally, he said that they opposed any capitalism. My esteemed
    <br>
    audience! The communists have so far merely been fighting
    industrial
    <br>
    capital and have only hung industrial capitalists. But name me one
    <br>
    Jewish capitalist whom they have hung. (That’s right! says the
    crowd)
    <br>
    300,000 Russians have been murdered in Russia. The Soviet
    Government
    <br>
    itself admits this now. Among those 300,000 is not a single Jew!
    But
    <br>
    in the leadership more than 90% are Jews. Is that persecution of
    Jews
    <br>
    or rather, in the truest sense of the word, persecution of
    Christians?
    <br>
    (Hear, hear)
    <br>
    <br>
    Then you said you fought against both the loan capital and
    industrial
    <br>
    capital. But you have so far combated neither the one nor the
    other.
    <br>
    You cannot fight the industrial capital, at most destroy it, and
    then
    <br>
    you must again start with a 12-hour working day to rebuild it.
    (Hear,
    <br>
    hear) And the other you’ve so far never fought! This one is paying
    <br>
    you. (Thunderous applause and clapping of hands)
    <br>
    <br>
    Then the second speaker stated the cause of the revolution should
    be
    <br>
    looked for in poverty. We prefer to put it this way: Poverty has
    made
    <br>
    Germany ripe for those who wanted the revolution. You can read the
    <br>
    piece written by their Lord and Master who was then ruling
    Germany,
    <br>
    Rathenau, where he explained precisely that the revolution had a
    real
    <br>
    and deliberate purpose: Displacement of the feudal system and its
    <br>
    replacement by plutocracy. These men have been the financiersof
    this
    <br>
    glorious movement. If their revolution would have been even the
    <br>
    slightest threat to Capital, then the Frankfurter Zeitung would
    not
    <br>
    have triumphantly announced on the 9th November: “The German
    people
    <br>
    have made a revolution.” When we make our revolution, the
    Frankfurter
    <br>
    Zeitung will whistle a very different tune. (Loud applause)
    <br>
    <br>
    Then you said further: Before the war one has not heard anything
    of
    <br>
    Jews. That is a sad fact that we have heard so little. This does
    not
    <br>
    mean, however, that he was not there. But above all, it is not
    true,
    <br>
    because this movement did not begin after the war but has been
    there
    <br>
    just as long as there are Jews. If you go back and read in Jewish
    <br>
    history, the Jews gradually exterminated the original tribes in
    <br>
    Palestine by the sword, so you can imagine that there has been
    <br>
    antisemitism as a logical reaction. And it existed the whole time
    till
    <br>
    this day, and the pharaohs in Egypt were probably just as
    antisemitic
    <br>
    as we are today. If you had, before the war, not only read their
    <br>
    famous writers Moritz, Salomon, and others – I do not even mention
    <br>
    newspapers which, a priori, carry the stamp of approval of the
    <br>
    Alliance Israelite- you would have heard that in Austria there was
    a
    <br>
    huge anti-Semitic movement, but also the Russia people constantly
    <br>
    attempted to rise up against the Jewish bloodsuckers. That in
    Galicia,
    <br>
    the Poles groaned and no longer worked, and sometimes rose in
    despair
    <br>
    against those crazy idealists who were hell-bound to send the
    people
    <br>
    to their early graves. Unfortunately, too late we have begun to
    <br>
    understand this there, but you say: Before the war, one has not
    heard
    <br>
    of it. But really deplorable are only those who hear it now and
    still
    <br>
    cannot get the courage to answer our call. (Stormy bravo! and
    <br>
    applause)
    <br>
    <br>
    Then you declare further that Lenin made some mistakes. We are
    <br>
    grateful that at least you admit that your pope has made mistakes.
    <br>
    (Laughter) But then you declare you would not make these mistakes.
    For
    <br>
    one thing, when 300,000 people are hanged in Germany and when our
    <br>
    whole economy is shattered after their pattern, then your
    statement
    <br>
    that you would not make the same mistakes is not enough. You seem
    to
    <br>
    have a poor idea of what the Bolshevik system really means. It
    will
    <br>
    not improve the situation, but it is put there in order to destroy
    the
    <br>
    races with these errors. (Hear, hear) When you declare today that
    one
    <br>
    did so in Russia up until now, this is a sorry excuse; when you
    first
    <br>
    exterminate a race, first totally ruin a national economy; and
    finally
    <br>
    this state lives practically only by the mercy of Tsarist officers
    <br>
    who, driven by force make conquests for it, then, in my opinion,
    it’s
    <br>
    a strange policy. (Hear, hear.) One thing I know is that if we do
    not
    <br>
    have the iron will to stop war madness – that mutual tearing one
    <br>
    another to pieces – we’ll perish.
    <br>
    <br>
    Finally, you explain, since the loan capital is international, we
    <br>
    cannot fight it nationally, otherwise the international world will
    <br>
    shut us off. These are the consequences of relying on
    international
    <br>
    solidarity! (Loud applause.) Had you not made us so powerless, we
    <br>
    could not have cared less if the other world is happy with us or
    not.
    <br>
    But when you yourself admit that this International, which
    practically
    <br>
    dominates Britain, France and North America, is able to shut us
    off,
    <br>
    do you believe then that the fight against Capital is being fought
    <br>
    over there? So long as this Earth exists, nations have never been
    <br>
    freed by the will and the deed of other nations, but either by
    their
    <br>
    own force or they remained in bondage. (Cheers)
    <br>
    <br>
    And then, finally, you also turn to the Bible, and that’s, after
    all,
    <br>
    a good sign in a Communist. (Laughter) And you explain that,
    because
    <br>
    of a peculiar conformity of Bible and our Party program, I am a
    <br>
    Communist. What you are telling me here, Dr. Gerlich has already
    said,
    <br>
    and Mr. Hohmann has called me too: If you stand up for what you
    have
    <br>
    in the program, you are a communist. On the other hand, the “Post”
    <br>
    says all the time, I am an arch-reactionary, a completely
    diseased,
    <br>
    militaristic reactionary.
    <br>
    <br>
    (Interruption: The “Post” is itself reactionary.)
    <br>
    <br>
    Would you please confront the chief editor with this and allow me
    to
    <br>
    listen? (Big laughter and applause) Also, the “Kampf” emphasizes
    again
    <br>
    and again that we are the bastion of the counter-reaction. So I
    <br>
    recommend that you first go to the “Post ” and to “Kampf” and tell
    <br>
    them that we are Communists because I myself couldn’t care less
    how I
    <br>
    am called, whether reactionary, Pan-German, a Junker, big
    <br>
    industrialist or a communist – I am and will remain a German
    national
    <br>
    socialist. I have my program in front of me and, as I said
    earlier, I
    <br>
    will pursue it to the last spark of my strength and the last
    breath in
    <br>
    my lungs. (Long sustained stormy bravo! and applause)
    <br>
    <br>
    The Chairman thanks for the numerous attendance and closes the
    <br>
    meeting.
