*Radio speech to the German people "On the Economic Situation of the Fatherland", delivered on 9 February 1914 by Erich August von Hohenzollern*
"I read the news today, about the unlucky, indeed precarious, situation our great Fatherland is in today, concerning the economy; let me begin by saying that Germans are best able to progress and innovate when left to their own devices and having control of their own money. I have firmly believed that all my life, and hope to champion that in the Reichstag, not as a junior partner in a fragile coalition, but as a leader in a bond wrought of German steel!
The goals of the Liberal Party are different from almost all the other parties, something that has proven itself time and again in Britain, the United States, and across the Earth; freedom. Under the National Liberal Party, the markets will be freer than ever before, and our German worker, proud and duteous, noble and pragmatic, a symbol of our nations ingenuity and greatness, will be freer as well! Under the National Liberal Party, our trade with other nations will become freer, and you will gain access to foreign goods that you would never see under a Socialist or Reactionist government; only under the Liberals will the freedom of the markets, and the freedom of the people, be placed above the partisan politics that pervade our policy-makers so perfidiously! Only under the National Liberal Party will both our army and our people be defended! Only under the National Liberal Party will Germany and his people be strong, safe, and free! Only under the National Liberal Party will the Reichstag finally gain a shred of vitality, of the action and energy that feel he people of Germany, the children of the Fatherland!
Join the National Liberal Party for a freer People! For a Brighter Future! For a stronger Germany! FOR THE FATHERLAND!"
