Obstacles Do Not Exist To Be Surrendered

Germany Has Concluded A Non-aggression Pact With Poland. We Shall Adhere To It Unconditionally. We Recognize Poland As The Home Of A Great And Nationally Conscious People.

The Fact That, With Time, This League [of Nations]-which Was Presumably Designed By Its Founders To Exist For All Eternity-cannot Be Coupled With A Treaty The Short Term Of Which Is Inherent In Its Own Weaknesses And Impracticabilities, Is A Point Which Can Perhaps Be Contested By Today's Interested Parties, But Which Will One Day Be Deemed A Matter Of Course In History.

If, On Our Own Account, We Do Not Intend To Wage War, We Are Much Less Willing To Do So For Interests Which Do Not Concern Germany And Are Alien To It.

I Speak In The Name Of The Entire German People When I Assure The World That We All Share The Honest Wish To Eliminate The Enmity That Brings Far More Costs Than Any Possible Benefits. It Would Be A Wonderful Thing For All Of Humanity If Both Peoples Would Renounce Force Against Each Other Forever. The German People Are Ready To Make Such A Pledge.
