HERR HITLER’S DECLARATION NO DESIRE FOR KINGDOMS (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) BERLIN, May 1. Shouting hoarsely owing to a sore throat, Herr Hitler forecast that storms were converging on Germany when he addressed 270,000 children assembled in front of the Imperial Palace, dbspite the slush and snow, in which May Day celebrations were opened. Herr Hitler declared: “As the wind now tears our flags, so clouds and storms may surround Germany in the near future. The Hitler Youth will not he afraid. Every German boy and girl must be convinced of his and her secred duty to guarantee Germany’s security.” One million workers assembled at the Templeof Aerodrome. Only a doctor’s certificate would excuse non-attendance. Herr Hitler began his address in a snow storm. He surprisingly refrained from reference to foreign affairs. It is supposed that ho is reserving this for the meeting of the Reichstag on May 15. He merely said: “We do not want war; but Germany is no longer the toy of foreign whims.” He added: “You may offer me kingdoms, but I would rather he a poor man among his people.”
