IN HIS SPEECH before the meeting of the Reichstag in the Kroll Opera House today, Herr Adolf Hitler, German Chancellor, announced that Germany would recognise Manchukuo.
IN THE COURSE of a lengthy speech, the Fuehrer declared that Germany's colonial cialms cannot be bought of with credits. Ger- many does not want credits, but a basis of existence which permits her to assure the existence of the pation by the exercise of her own industrious afforis.

Berlin, Feb. 20. Tarning to foreign policy, Herr Hitler, in his speech before thé Reichstag, declared, "We are up- posed to any expansion of Bol- shevism. I fear, that a Japanese defeat would not aid Europe or the United States but only Soviet Russia. I consider China strong enough mentally to resist. The greatest Japanese victory would, in my opinion, be less dangerous that a Bolshevist victory. We belleve we are really mutual observers in the Far Eastern, conflct,” he said.

The League of Nations, said Herr Hitler, was an institution to maintain a condition arising from a thousand years of injustice.

A number of surprisingly high dividends camponsated in some measure for the miserable weather, which at one time threatened to ruin the postponed February meeting of the Fanling Hunt and Race Club held yesterday,
There were a mere handful of enthusiasts present at the begin- ning, the first prize for the cash sweep of the opening event ($116. 22) being true reflection of the number of people present. The attendance throughout the day was very small, comprising in the majority of military officers and members of the club and their ladies.
