FASCISM RESENTED
GERMANS UNHAPPY, TOO
(By Telegraph —I 'rpss Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
The intense hardship, suffered by the people was the outstanding impression formed by Dr. Duncan, Government Balneologist, during his visit to Italy. On .his return by the Niagara today Dr. Duncan said the sufferings of the Italian people were indeed great. They were taxed to the utmost limit, but, strangely enough, taken on the whole, were fairly cheerful. The Mussolini regime was resented from the highest to the. lowest. In respect of employment problems "the working man is asked to work four months in the year and the remaining months he is idle." Dr. Duncan said that in Germany he found an atmosphere of repression on every side. The younger people were definitely hypnotised by 'Hitler, but the older people were definitely unhappy under the present regime. Everywhere a military attitude was displayed, and there was no freedom of speech. Dr. Duncan said that he renewed acquaintance with Mr. Bernard Shaw in England. Mr. Shaw said that if he could arrange his business affairs he i would like to come to New Zealand to finish his days here.
