HITLERS WARNING "DON'T CROSS OUR PATH" (UNITED SBES3 ASSOCIiTION— CGZTBI&BX.) (Received May 2, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, May 1. The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says that Herr Hitler's reaffirmation of his desire for peace was accompanied by a somewhat truculent warning against interference with Germany's internal affairs. "We wish to say to other nations," said Hitler, "'Don't cross our path. We've overcome internal problems without involving others in our difficulties. Be good enough to do the same. Do not draw others into your quarrels."' The crowd's enthusiasm was at fever heat when Hitler concluded, declaring: I would rather be the smallest worm in Germany than a king elsewhere. "Peace abroad is necessary to our plans," declared Herr Hitler jn a speech at the May Day celebrations. Greeted with wild cheering, fanfares of trumpets, and the beating of drums, Hitler made a triumphal [procession to the Opera House at Charlottenberg, where he was ecstatically welcomed. Dr. Goebbels declared: "You are the whole German people. You have given us internal peace, and now prepare for world peace." Herr Hitler said that formerly May Day was the source of strife and bloodshed, but Nazis had. changed this. It was now a day of national rejoicing in Germany. Contrasting the troubled celebrations in other countries, Herr Hitler then said: "Others conduct a campaign of lies, saying that Germany threatens Austria and Czechoslovakia, but they are a small band of international war profiteers." "Rejoice in life" was the slogan adopted for Germany's celebration of May Day. Children began to assemble as early as 4 o'clock in the morning to hear Herr Hitler's and Dr. Goebbels's speeches. Hitler told them Germany had no use for "mother's darlings." Children, he said, must think only for the nation, which must live united according to one will. All Berlin was closed to traffic at 8 in the morning. All the streets were lined with storm troopers. Every town and village was ablaze with decorations, brass bands paraded the streets, and orators held forth.
