They do not readily adopt the
regional accents of the states to
which they migrate. Instead they
impose their own type of speech,"

Hess' Offer on
Secret Mission
WASHINGTON, May 10 JP)
Rudolf Hess, deputy nazi fuhrer
who made his own secret mission
to Britain during the war, told
the Britons that the United States
coveted the British empire.
Details of the conversation Hess
held with the Duke of Hamilton
after i the nazi had landed in an
airplane in England in May, 1941,
were contained in the final vol
ume, of an eight-volume serieson
nazi aggression published by the
war department and released to
night, A transcript of the talks, in
which Hess offered Britain a sep
arate peace by guaranteeing Brit
ain's empire possessions in return
for uncontested German control
in conquered Europe, contained
these statements by Hess:
"Germany has no designs on
America. The so-called German
perift was a ludicrous figment of
imagination. Hitler's interests were
European.
"If we made peace now, Amer
ica would be furious. America
really wanted to Inherit the Brit
ish Empire.'
HesS proposed England should
have a completely free hand in
the empire, with the sole reserva
tion that Britain should return
Germany's former colonies.
