He described his share in the November revolt and declared that he was an old

freedom of the people for the love of the people. He denounced Marxism and Cremmunism and declared he was against the Jews, who should not be allowed to obtain authoritative infwere in Ger many any more than the English or French. He admitted he was a monarchist but considered the monarchical question at present beyond salation.

General Ludendorf bitterly accused ex-Dictator Kahr and General Lossow of acting dishesearably in having "lied with their bandshake." He declared with raised in that the action of the police and the troops in fring on Nationalist bands with himself at their head, was murder and disgracefal He concluded almost lyrically: "Despite treachery and murder the broken promises of the Nationalist movement have been saved. We do not want the Rhine Confederation by the grace of France. We do not want a State under the laffuence of Marxist, Jewish or Uktramontane figires, but Ger- many which only belongs to the Germans. The destructan at the Nationalist movement was the price paid for the reconciliation of Lossow and Seekt between Berlin and Munich.

The hopes of the enemies of Bisurarekian Germany are dashed to the ground, but the Nationalist movement stands erect; may it through the blood of the martyrs of November 9, 1923, become 30 strong that it shall firmly weld the German people so that the Reich arises freed from the fetters of Federalism or Separatism to a Reich strong and free." General Ladenderá sat down wid * suppressed hum of applause. The proceedings terminated with the compliments of the public prosecutor who said that the prosecution had never an idea of calling into question the General's · personal courage. Asked by the Chief Justice how he thought things would have gone if Generals Kahr and Lossow had carried out their original inten- tions, General Ludendorff promptly replied. “The movement supported by Nationalist organisations of the north would have become such a mighty demonstration in the Reich that the affair would have been | carried out without any act of violence-Reuter.

THE SINGAPORE BASE.

London, March 1.

It is understood that the Cabinet has appointed a special com- mittee under the chairmanship of Mr. J. R. Clynes to consider the, whole question of the Singapore base. The Daily News, which opposes the base learns that the opinion of prominent members of the Cabinet is in nowise so bostile as formerly, and believes the Government will ultimately approve the scheme.-Reuter.

Perth, March 2

Acting Premier, the Hon. C G. Paze, delivered speeches at a dinner yesterday evening and at a luncheon to-day on the occasion of the visit of the British Naval squadron, in the course of both of which he laid stress on the importance of the construction of a naval base at Singapore or elsewhere. He said that if this was accomplished Australia could receive periodical visits from the ships of the main British feet and men would be stimulated to join the Australian navs. Admiral Field replying" on both occasions said that Singapore represented the gateway which must be defended. It was absolutely the key to the position, but Apstralia would require other bases where Australia ships could be repaired-Reuter.

LLOYD GEORGE'S OPINION,

London, March 2.

Speaking at Hartlepool, Mr. Lloyd George expressed the view that the situation at home and abroad was serious, and urged fore- bearance, toleration and sympathy for the Labour Government, whose mistakes, he said, were hitherto largely the mistakes of inexperience. "I am all for leaving them for some time between the handles of the plough. They will soon have aching backs and weary hearts," he said, "but very much wiser heads." He expressed the opinion that a Coalition Government was not now a practical alternative, but that it was more vital than ever to Great Britain's well being that libera! sentiment should be strengthened and mobilised to impress upon the Labourites the foily of alienating Liberal support by adventures of Socialism-Reuter.
