Berlin, May 21.

Chancellor Adolf Hitler, in his speech to the Reich- stag and the German nation, to-day defied the League of Nations' denunciation of Germany's re-armament programme and announced that the German conscrip- tion law would muster women, as well as men, for the defence of the Fatherland in time of war.

He declared that Germany, in view of the Powers' present discriminatory attitude, would never return to the League.

(By Telegraph, Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1894. Received, May 22, 9.30 a.m.)

London, May 21. Allegations in the Italian-press that Great Britain has been sending war materials to Abyssinia or has allowed them to pass through British territory on their way to the Abyssinian armies, were refuted by Lord Stanhope in the House of Lords to-day.

He emphasised that the export of arms and ammunition from the United Kingdom was most strict- ly controlled by the export licensing system supervised by the Board of Trade.

No applications for export licences for war materials ordered by the Abyssinian Government had been made since before the Italo-Abyssinian tension became acute as a result of the Ualual and subsequent border incidents, Lord Stanhope said.-Reuter Special.
