COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA
SECRET EXHIBITION AT THE VATICAN THE CHURCH’S UNSLEEPING VIGILANCE (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 6th October, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, sth October. 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 danger-; ous enemy. The first impression on passing a heavily curtained doorway is of the entrance into Moscow's Ministry of Propaganda. A lifelike effigy of Lenin, placed on a red-sheeted rostrum, points fiercely to the rooms containing proofs of his policy for exterminating existing society and uprooting religion, including a copious display of open and clandestine periodicals circulating in both hemispheres. The display reveals the far-flung coordination of Moscow, disclosing methods of approaching different national mentalities; and also shows the Russian genius, psychology, and opportunism in exploiting local grievances. The recent intensification of propaganda in Spain is most notable.
