The Daily Telegraph’s Berlin correspondent says Herr Hitler's May Da\ speech in the Lustgarten was heard by a most unenthusiastic crowd.

Meanwhile the anti-Christian prejudices inculcated in the German youth are causing outbreaks of sacrilege throughout the Catholic portion of Germany. PAINFUL IMPEE SSION AT VATICAN Eeceived Monday, 11 p.m. LONDON, May 2. The Daily Telegraph’s correspondent at Vatican City says Herr Hitler's attack on the churches has made a painful impression as the officials had been led to believe Hitler desired a friendly settlement. ITALIANS’ SUFFEEING UNDEE FASCISM -GEEMANS UNHAPPY, TOO. AUCKLAND, Last Night. 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 to-day 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 re-, tnaining 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 would like to come to New Zealand to finish his days here.
