Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank the President-in-Office of the Council for his excellent report. But not days sat and waited, whether it fits the Polish government, now finally a plenipotentiary to only that: they were answered with mobilizations, with intensified terror, with increased pressure on the send or not. Bolks Germans in these areas and with a long (call: Pfui! I would like to thank the rapporteur for his excellent report, and I would also like to congratulate him on his excellent work on this subject.

Corridor question in a kind of cheap way and to solve the (laughter.) interests of both justly. It at last did not think about its minority representatives! If one adheres to this obligation. Jch has to say here: German Reich and its head of state have respected these obligations. The German Reich, and its state minorities, who live in the German Reich will tolerate all this, then the German would not be persecuted. A Frenchman should stand up and deserve nothing more than to clarify from the political that the Fran stage living in the Saar region, for example, should be suppressed, tortured and disenfranchised.

Having already been mistaken recently in a one-Germany, which was before us, can be confused. At night 21 border incidents were recorded, CAL (Lebhafte Sustimm.) were today night 14, of which three were completely tried to apologise for the action against the people. to speak the same language that Poland has been applying to us for months (laughs). I don't know what the "probocations" of the children (the deputies rise up and bring to exist the or women who are abused and leaders of stormy ovations.) or the "Probocation" of those who, if now statesmen in the West declare that in the most tiéric, sadistic way they would be treated and that they would touch their youth, I can finally kill such a person. But one thing I know: that there is no explanation only regret. But it cannot give me a great power of Éhre, which in the long run would watch such a second in the fulfilment of my duty wrinkling conditions calmly. (Stylish, long-lasting applause.)
