Berlin, September 25,

Cheers and cries of “Wake up, Germany!” greeted Herr Hitler, who arrived to give evidence in the treason trial at Leipzig. Uproar broke out wh’en he stated that the moment Fascism was victorious a new Supreme Court would be established to expiate the crimes of November, 1918.

“Then the heads will roll off in the sand,” he declared. “In another couple of elections, the Fascist Party will arise to repudiate and smash all treaties forced on us. Then there will be a revolution here.” Herr Hitler is convinced that a new party had to be created from members possessing a fanatical love of the Fatherland, aid that there should be an invincible fighting spirit and absolute obedience to the leaders.

Slumps on the Berlin and Frankfort Stock Exchanges followed Herr Hitler’s speech at Leipzig and shares fell from 6 to. 20 points. It is feared in Bourse circles that the revolutionary preparations have been advanced further than the authorities realize, but the police ridicule the apprehensions and regard the speech as purely propaganda. Herr Hitler has called off the Potsdam parade fixed for September 28.

A previous message from Berlin stated: The newspapers state that the AttorneyGeneral, at the request of the Ministry of Defence, has opened an inquiry which may lead to a charge of high treason against Herr Hitler and Dr. Goebels, leaders of the Nationalist-Socialist Party.
