216 -3 -Ar Jhr The final goal is the Dr low-upg, the rule of the world seas. No one should comfort themselves Jllusions, that their progress is only about excesses and the necessities of war and that these are voluntarily stopped as soon as the war is over. It is clear that the cultural world is to be transformed into another world in which humanity is forced down into a relationship of lords and men, in which the Lord's people maintain their power over nation and individuals through violence. If these hypocritical conquerors should also bend other continents under their power, their next step would be to rule the world's oceans, the airspace above the continents and the economic saviour; we would be forced to defend our own borders, our independence and our lives. It is therefore necessary for us and for all other peaceful nations to create themselves as quickly and as well as possible insurmountable means of defence. We are getting to the highest strength, We also take measures to meet all anti-steat movements, which are led from the outside. We will proceed with brutal sharpness. We will do all we can to promote the spirit of solidarity between all peaceful peoples and to create a common system of defence. As the most important means of preventing attacks on the western half of the world, the US is granting to all nations that seek to prevent the spread of violence and are helping to avert the géfahr for us Americans, all possible reliefs in the supply of material. We will continue this policy to the greatest extent. Any statement, whether valid from which side it may come, that our country should not act in such a way, would be equally significant with the complete denial of our right to self-defense. Our foreign policy remains with the people, just as I feel the need for our action, the Gentile nation is determined to insist on the preservation of our right to life. We never miss when and from where an attack will take place, but we must be prepared to overtake every attempt. We need planes, ships and cannons, we need good soldiers and we need to hold up the Jdeale of the whole world, where everyone respects the right of other fellow human beings, a world in which the principle of law and order, justice and honorability is once again respected. Comment on Cordell Hall's speech: Through this speech, Hull has let the whole world know that Hitler's new diplomatic activity has only strengthened the US's resolve to provide England with any practical help to destroy the German Krie machine and to free its victims. Hitler's plan to make the United States peaceful by creating an apparent new order, which is supposed to be voluntarily accepted by all the great powers, has apparently already failed, so it is expected that he will try to carry out his alternative plan. Instead of the invasion and conquest of England by the German armed forces and the conquest of Egypt by Jtalia and the bloodless march of Greece and Turkey by the Middle East, another plan is to take place, because all these plans are being thwarted. According to the new alternative plan, Hitler wants to try to close the Mediterranean Sea with the help of France and Spain.
