HITLER SHROFFS UP HIS SPEECH
BERLIN, Aug. 25 (Reuter).—Herr Hitler is at work here putting the final touches, and recasting in the light of the latest developments, his speech for Tannenberg on Sunday.
Even more than usual secrecy is maintained about its contents, and even more than the usual number of rumours are current.
The largest school of thought here believes that the Fuehrer will state his case on Sunday and act on Monday.
Some even suggest that he will produce Rhineland tactics and fell the world that the Ger- man army in already on the march.

Britain Has Ships
For Far East
Singapore Best-Equipped
Base
In The World
THE possibility of a British battle fleet being sent out to the Far East mentioned, as a warning to Japan, by the Prime Minister, in Parliament on Aug. 4, has aroused the keenest interest in London--especially in view of the cur- rent reinforcement of the Singapore garrison, says a London Correspondent.
Opposition To Clergy Healers
BY 102 votes to 75 the British
Medical Association Con- ference at Aberdeen recently rejected a proposal to recognise psycho-therapeutic practice by clergy and other lay persons.
The decision was taken following a report by the Mental Health Com- mitter of the Association, who stated that evidence had been received from Protestant and Catholle clergy, and organisations Interested in the pro- mollon of psychological activities by the clergy, that the clergy had valu- able opportunities of preventive work in the field of mental health.
It was represented that they should be trained in medical psychology that they might be able not only to recognise cases which required psycho-therapeutic treatment, but also to resolve the mental conflicts of the normal individual which other- [wise might develop into psycho-
neurolic disorder.
