THE COMMUNISTS

WORLD-WIDE PROPAGANDA. EXHIBITION AT THE VATICAN. ' (Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn.) LONDON, October 5. The “Morning Post’s” Rome correspondent describes a secret exhibition at the Vatican, where selected. persons are shown proofs of Communist propaganda, collected throughout the world, revealing the Church’s unsleeping 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 red-sheeted rostrum. ’ points fiercely to the rooms containing proofs of his policy for exterminating I existing society and uprooting religion, including a copious display of open I and clandestine periodicals, circulating in both hemispheres. I The display reveals the far flung coordination of Moscow, disclosing the methods of approaching different national mentalities. It also shows the Russian genius for psychology, and opportunism in exploiting local grievs anees. The recent intensification of 1 propaganda in Spain is most notable.
