PEACE NECESSARY TO GERMANY'S PLANS.

MAY DAY SPEECHES.

" Rejoice in Life " Slogan of Celebrations. HITLER'S GREAT RECEPTION. Unite 1 Press Association.—CopyrtgUt. (Received 10.30 a.m.) BERLIN, May 1. "Peace abroad is necessary to our plans," declared He'rr Hitler in a speech at the May Day celebrations. Greeted by wild cheering, fanfares of trumpets and the heating of drums Hc.it Hitler made a triumphal procession to (lie Opera House, Chariotten berg, where he was ecstatically welcomed by Dr. Goebbels, who declared: "You arc the whole German people. You have given us internal peace and now prepare for world peace." Herr Hitler declared that formerly May Day was a source of strife and bloodshed, but the Nazis had changed this. It. was now a day of national rejoicing in Germany, contrasting with troubled celebrations in other countries. The Fuehrer then said: "Peace abroad is necessary to our plans. Others conduct a campaign of lies, saying that Germany threatens Austria and Czechoslovakia. but they are a small band of international war profiteers." "Hojoieo in life," was the slogan adopted for Germany's celebration of May Day. Children began to assemble as early as 4 a.m. to hear Herr Hitler and Dr. Goebbels speak. The former told them that Germany had no' use for

"mother's darlings" children. He said they must, think only of the nation, which must-live united according to one will.

All Berlin was closed to traffic from S a.m. when every street was lined with Storm Troopers. Every (own and village was ablaze with decorations. Brass bands paraded the streets, and orators held forth almost at every corner. ITerr Hitler's reaffirmation of his desire for peace is accompanied by a somewhat truculent warning against interference in Germany's internal affairs. "Wo wish," he declared, "to say to other nations: 'Don't cross our path. We have overcome our internal problems without involving others in our difficulties. Be good enough to do the same and not draw others into your quarrels.' " The crowd's enthusiasm was at fever heat when Herr Hitler concluded by declaring: "I would rather be the smallest worm in Germany than a king elsewhere!" MOSCOW'S ARMED HOST Tens of Thousands and Hundreds Of 'Planes. PRANCE'S QUIET MAY DAY. (Received 10..'50 a.m.) LONDON, May 1. May Day was quiet in France. Mass Labour demonstrations were held throughout the country but very orderly as the Leftists were anxious not to prejudice their success at the second ballot in the elections on Sunday. Stalin and Molotoif, standing on Lenin's tomb, inspected the parade of tens of thousands of troops iri the presence of over 1,000,000 citizens, over whom hovered an air armada of 750 'planes, including 37.) ultra-fast small lighters. Increasing mechanisation was the most notable feature of the military display.
