(By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.)

(Received This Day, 11.20 a.m.) LONDON, November b. Speaking at Munich, in a fatigued and hesitating voice, at the anniversarv of the Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, Herr Hitler ascribed the failure of the German Government in the last war to the fact that it was dragged into war in unfavourable circumstances. He added that the enemies ol 3914.-1918 were the same todav. Il was said then that Britain 1 ought lor just ice and had done so in the past three centuries, tor which she had received from the Lord forty million square kilometres and 480 million people to rule. England declared that she lought for civilisation, but this could only be found in slum areas, distressed areas and in Whitechapel. England said she lought for humanity, not against German people but against the German Government. Mr Churchill and Dlr Chamberlain spoke thus in an endeavour to separate the Germans from their Government. In 1918 the victors spoke of a just peace and England and France promised to disarm. “It is quite conceivable,” Herr Hitler added. that a nation ol forty-four millions gaining rule over 450 millions wants peace and order. Britain claims that she is going to war to rid the world ot war. That is what she has always done It was planned after the last war. We laid down our arms trusting in Britain’s word that colonies were to be redistributed and that the League of Nations was to crown the whole plan, but the League only succeeding in sterilising it.”
