NAZI IDEALS

hitler expounds NEW FOUR YEARS' PLAN COMPULSORY LABOUR r 'i j MAY DAY SPEECH GREAT DEMONSTRATION By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright (Received May 2, r>.!j p.m.) BERLIN. May 2 Germnnv celebrated May Day on an unprecedented scale, but in a manner vastly different to the pre-Hitlcr regime. Berlin's programme, which extended from early morning to midnight, began with a demonstration by 100,000 youths and school children before President Hindenburg and the Chancellor, Herr Hitler, in front of the ex-Kaiser's palace. Later ten vast processions, in some of which were more than 120,000 people, began to converge, through streets decorated with millions of Nazi and Nationalist Hags, on tho Templehof aerodrome, where Herr Hitler addressed, the throng by means of 100 loud-speakers. The Chaucellor appealed for national unity and the abandonment of class prejudices. He outlined tho first part of his four years' plan. This consisted of a reduction in the number of the unemployed by'public and private initiative in the direction of house repairs and road building by means of compulsory labour. This was not. an attack oil the proletariat, but was essential to extirpate class prejudices. Consequently, every young German must serve a period of manual labour. This would enable the people to understand each other. Insistent Call for Equality Continuing, Herr Hitler said: '.'The Kazis desire to unite the people, and if they will/ not get together we shall have to force them. "The nation must recognise that the idealism of the worker alone enables a nation to live. Compulsory labour will teach people that manual work is no shame, but, on the contrary, honours those wht* perform it faithfully." Herr Hitler concluded with an emotional outburst against the world's persecution /of a nation which must retort: "'Whatever the world does wet will never bow our heads. Our call for equality will never cease. Germany is not a second-clas3 nation, even if the so a thousand times." Tribute to Youth Movement Herr Goebbel, Minister of Propaganda, paid a tribute to the youth movement as the corner-stone of the new Germany. The movement had freed German labour from international money chains. He declared that the barriers of class hatred had been torn down, and that the brotherhood of the people had arisen. Germany had lost the war but had won the revolution. The workers were paid for the holiday instead of celebrating it at their own expense. In the evening there was a gigantic fireworks display which included a setpiece showing two hands joined in the grip of friendship and inscribed in letters of fire: "The day of National Labour." The display ended with a bombardment of fire shells and a salvo 3f 60,000 "bombs."
