WORLD PSYCHOLOGY

GERMAN MISJUDGMENT “TEMPERAMENTAL & FOOLISH” VIEWS OF WHITEHALL (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received 16. 12.45 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 15. That the Germans are again misjudging world phychology and have done something extremely temperamental and foolish, about represents the view of Whitehall, where almost a Sabbath calm prevails, apart from communications from Geneva and the European Embassies, of which Mr. Macdonald is constantly informed. “There is no reason why London should get excited,” was one comment. REBROADCAST OF HITLER’S SPEECH. NO DESIRE FOR WAR. (Received 16, 12.40 p.m.) BERLIN, Oct. 15. In order that Herr Hitler's speech should have the widest circulation it was rcbroadcast in the forenoon in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and relayed on Saturday night by almost every European and North and South American station. Herr Goebels, addressing 100,000 people at Himmerich, reiterated that Germany did not desire war. She had no arms, and wished an honourable peace. Her withdrawal from tho League was not a demonstration against peace, but one in favour of it. REARMAMENT NOT THREATENED GERMAN NEWSPAPER COMMENT (Received 16, 12.55 p.m.) BERLIN, Oct. 15. None of the papers threaten rearmament, but the “Vossiche Zeitung” emphasises that the Treaty of Versailles is repudiated. Herr Krupp, among other leading personalities, has telegraphed his support to Herr Hitler, who is inundated with assurances of loyalty and unity from mass meetings throughout Germany, including the “Workers’ Front,” which has supplanted trades unionism. HITLER’S CABINET SITTING BACK. AWAITING MOVE BY GREAT POWER. (Received 16, 1.45 p.m.) BERLIN, Oct. 15. Herr Hitler and his Cabinet are now sitting back waiting the next move from the great Powers. The Government wholeheartedly endorses the Italian suggestion to adjourn the Conference, arguing that its adoption of a convention, for submission to Germany for approval or rejection would be provocative and in the nature of an ultimatum. GERMAN ELECTIONS. A SIGNIFICANT DATE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received 16, 10.45 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 15. A twenty minutes’ radio silence followed Herr Hitler’s broadcast. It will be noticed that the elections are fixed for the day after the armistice. ELECTION ISSUES. (Received 16. 10.30 a.m.) BERLIN, Oct. 15. It is expected that Germany will be completely united on the referendum regarding the foreign issues-. Voters will be asked whether the German people approves of and acknowledges the policy laid down in the Government’s appeal, also whether they support the Nazi party. All the state parliaments, at least temporarily, will disappear. This is believed to precede the abolition of the federal system in favour of centralising the administration of the country under Herr Hitler. PACIFIC MESSAGE WITHDRAWN. (Received 16, 10.30 a.m.) GENEVA, Oct. 15. Hitler has withdrawn his pacific message, which was to have been read at to-night's mass meeting of world peace agencies. INCIDENT AT MUNICH. (Received 16, 1.45 p.m.) MUNICH, Oct. 15. At the laying of the foundation stone of the “House of German Art,” Herr Hitler was given a silver hammer as a symbol of Nazism’s future. Herr Wagner, in presenting the hammer, said he hoped it would be used at all similar functions. Herr Hitler’s first stroke broke the mallet, and he seemed dazed, and slowly and silently resumed his seat, abandoning his prepared speech. The superstitious descry an omen in the incident.
