HITLER'S APPEAL

NATIONAL UNITY

MANUAL LABOUR FOR ALL

BERLIN, May 2.

"The Nazis desire to unite the people. If they won't get together wo will have to force them. The nation must recognise the idealism of the worker, who alone enables the nation to*live," said Hcrr Hitler, speaking at the May Day demonstration- at Berlin. , Ilerr Hitler appealed for national iuiity and the abandonment of class prejudices. Ho outlined the objectives for the first year of a four-year plan, consisting of a'reduction of 'the number of unemployed by public and private initiative, .house Tcpairs, and road building by compulsory labour, which, ho said, was not an attack on the proletariat but essentiall to extirpate class prejudices. Consequently every young German must serve a period of manual lebour, thus enabling tho people to understand each, other. "Compulsory labour will teach tho people that mamial work is no shame," he said.. "On the contrary, it honours those performing it faithfully" Horr Hitler concluded with an emotional outburst against "world persecution" of a nation which "must retort, whatever tho world does, 'We will never bow our heads.' "The call for equality will never cease. Germany is not a second-class nation, even if the world says so a thousand times." A gigantic fireworks display followed the speech, including a representation of tAvo hands joined in the grip of friondship,'inscribed in letters of fire: "Tliis is tho day of national labour." The display ended with a bombardment of firo shells and a salvo of 60,000 "bombs."
