HITLER’S FORECAST
GERMANY A STORM CENTRE. ADDRESS CHILDREN. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Berlin, May 1. Shouting hoarsely owing to his sore throat, Herr Hitler forecast that storms were converging on Germany when he addressed 270,000 children assembled in front of the Imperial Palace, despite the slush and snow in which the May Day celebrations opened. Herr Hitler declared: “As the wind now tears our flags, so clouds and storms may surround Germany in the near future. Our youth will not be afraid. Every German boy and girl must be convinced of the sacred duty to guarantee Germany’s security.” A million workers assembled at the Templehof aerodrome. Only a doctor’s certificate would excuse non-attend-ance. Herr Hitler began his address in a snowstorm. He surprisingly refrained from reference to foreign affairs. It is supposed that he is reserving this for 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 be a poor man among his people.”
