VIGILANCE OF VATICAN
WATCH ON COMMUNISM MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY DISPLAY OF PROPAGANDA (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Oct. t>, 11 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 5. The Rome correspondent of the Morning Post, describes a secret exhibition at the Vatican, where selected persons are shown proofs of Communist propaganda collected throughout the world, this revealing the church’s unsleeping vigilance against what is regarded as its most dangerous enemy. The correspondent says that the first impression given on passing through the heavily-curtained doonvay is of an entrance into Moscow’s Ministry of Propaganda. A life-like effigy of Lenin is placed on a red-sheeted rostrum and points fiercely to rooms containing proofs of his policy for exterminating the existing state of society and uprooting religion. The exhibits include a copious display of open and clandestine periodicals cir ; dilating in both hemispheres.
The display reveals the far-flung co-ordination with Moscow and discloses methods of approaching the different national mentalities. It also shows the Russian genius in psychology and opportunism in exploiting local grievances. Recent intensification of the propaganda in Spain is most notable.
