(Received 10.30 a.m.)

BERLIN; May 1

Shouting hoarsely oAving to his sore ithroat, Here Hitler forecast storms converging on Germany, when he addressed 1270,000 children assembled in front of the Imperial Palace, despite slush and snow, in which May Day celebrations were opened.

The Chancellor declared: "As the Jwind now tears our Macs, so clouds and storms may surround Germany in the near future. The Hitler Youth will not 1)0 afraid. 10very German boy and girl must be convinced of their sacred duty to guarantee Germany's security."

One million workers assembled at the Templohof aerodrome. Only a doctor's certificate was an excuse for nonattendance.

Herr Hitler began his address in a snowstorm. He surprisingly refrained from any reference to foreign affairs, supposedly reserving this for the Reichstag on -May 15. He merely said: "I do not want war, but Germany will no longer be the toy of foreign whims."

He added: "You may offer me kingdoms, but I would rather be a poor man among his people."

GERMANS UNEASY

Exclusion from Collective Security Denied. STRESA AND AFTER. LONDON, May 1. The Berlin correspondent of "The states: —Semi-official diplomatic commentary reveals the. uneasiness of responsible German opinion regarding the developments which have followed the Stresa Conference. It complains of the unreasoning'armaments panic and asks whether the realisation of German equality, which the nations accepted in the early stages, must destroy all possibilities of an understanding and co-operation. It denies that Germany is excluding herself from collective security, as she accepts Article 10 of the League Covenant, which ensures common action against a peace-breaker, although she does not believe in military alliances as a method of forestalling an aggressor. This should enable an agreement to be reached which would offer greater Becurity to all because it would specially advantage none.
