Many interpretations have been

the Reichstag., ,
If the . 'speech'- cane be taken at
its face value, it is a, very en-
couraging one for . the United Na-
tions, claims the New '..York
Tines. Hitler found it neceSsarY
to repeat once more all his. old
alibis for liis failure to. destroy ,
RiTssiatl resistance. Winter came
tour weeks too early, and.. where
Napoleon had- to combat temper-
atures of only 25. degrees. below
