SECRET EXHIBITION.
[Vatican Shows Methods of "Red" Propaganda. "ENEMY OF THE CHURCH." (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, October 5. The "Morning Post" Rome correspondent describes a secret exhibition at tlie iVatican where selected persons are shown proofs of Communist propaganda collected from all parts of the world. These reveal the Church's unremitting vigilance ' against its most dangerous enemy. The, first impression on passing the heavily-curtained doorway is of entrance into Moscow's Ministry of Propaganda. A life-like effigy of Lenin, placed on a rostrum, covered by a red cloth, points fiercely to rooms containing proofs of lis policy of exterminating existing society and uprooting religion. There is also a copious display of open and clandestine periodicals which have been circulated in both hemispheres. Here is revealed a far-flung co-ordination with Moscow, disclosing methods of approaching different national mentalities and also Russian genius for psychology and opportunism in exploiting local grievances. The recent intensification of propaganda in Spain is a very notable feature.
