His speech was unusual in that it conveyed one impression to the listen- ers and an almost opposite one to the readers. To his listeners, and especially to the few thousand who sat in the Opera House, the address decidedly was one of uncompromising defiance. His readers, on the other hand, were men and women in every coun- try and clime who became acquaint- ed with at least the gist qf his speech in the particular language of their native land. To them, and especially to those responsible for the conduct of gov- ernments, the written speech decided- ly would seem to leave the door open to further negotiation. Emphasizing his words with a solemn oath, the Fuehrer said: "I can assure you, Mr. Roosevelt, that I am steadfastly determined to see to it that not only now but for all future time no German shall ever enter a conference defenseless, but that at all times and forever every German negotiator should and shall have behind him the united strength of the German nation, so help me God."
