EXMOUTH DEAD

(8PECIAL TO “CHINA MAIL”)

London, To-day.

Fifteen bodles were washed #choro on the eastern coast of England, and are believed to be those of members of the crew of the destroyer "Exmouth," which was sunk a few days ago.

Several other bodies were seen floating but heavy seas prevent- ed their recovery—HavaB.

SPEAKING AT A MEETING at the Berlin Sports Pa- lace last night, to mark the seventh anniversary of the Nazi revolution, Hitler, in his first big speech since the Munich bomb explosion, said there was much talk in the rest of the world about the Democratic ideal but not in Germany. Germans had sufficient experience of the Democra-

tic idea in the past; they had 15 years' oppor- HITLER tunity of coming to know the Democratic ideal in its pure form, and they were the only succes- sors of Democracy. Referring to Britain's "most marvellous war aims,”

Hitler said Britain was very experienced in the production of war aims, since she was the coun- try which had waged most wars in the world.

"These

war aims say the new Europe will have full justice and that this general justice will make arma- therefore ments superfluous, and general disarmament will follow and trade will then begin to flow, culture and religion will flourish and the Golden Age will come.

"But unfortunately

be very sorry for these gentlemen who are incapable of finding one new idca to lure our people."

Hitler proceeded to inveigh against the Treaty of Versailles, and declared no nation had suffered more that severely from the economic depres- sion than Germany.

Not one Englishman during those 15 years had remembered Christian love and mercy, and now they were howling from the Bible, but in those days their real Bible was the Treaty of Versailles, each paragraph of which was blackmail and oppression, and the treaty rested on the League of Nations which was

built only to compel Germany to obey the treaty.

HE LIKES WINSTON Hitler called Mr. Chamberlain a plous preacher proclaiming war aims and said: "Nobody can belleve him and I don't think he believes him

"I like Winston Churchill much better. He clearly says 'Our war alm is to destroy Germany and is possible to exterminate the German people.'

"The first phase of the

war has come to an end, and Mr. Churchill is over-anxious to see the beginning of the second phase.

"He expresses the hope that war by bombing. may now begin, and this war may not spare women and children.

"Britain has never hesitated to make war against women and chil- dren.

"According to British broadcasts they wish us to believe that there is no more sunshine in England because the whole sky is darkened by squadrons of British planes, that the whole world is only one armed camp working for Britain and that Ger- many has got only three U-boats left. "That is very bad not for us but for the others, for after having sunk three U-boats our enemies will have to invent some theory about the re- surrection of the U-boats.”

Yesterday was the seventh anniver- sary of Hitler's "accession to power,' but the usual celebrations-a meeting of the Reichstag, a speech by Hitler, public observances, be-flagged streets and so on-were all cancelled.

It was suggested at one time that Dr. Goebbels might try his hand at a spot of oratory. This, too, was can- celled.

Then, at the last moment, Hitler an- nounced he would talk. It will be his first since the Beer Hall Explosion at Munich early in November.
