Germany Will Demand Arms Equality In Versailles Revision
Berlin May 17 Germany has disarmed under the Versailles treaty and Germany now says if other nations refuse to disarm too she is entitled to rearm.

He favored the MacDonald plan and five year terms, and said Germany is ready to join a non aggression pact and potentially forego arming if others do. Goering called the Reichstag to face a great hour as Hitler spoke with his characteristic forceful oratory.
