EUROPEAN BLUSTER
By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, June 24. “All this high-sounding talk by HenHitler and Signor Mussolini does not amount to much. My opinion is that so far from being a danger it is a safety-valve like the orators in Hyde Park,’’ said Brigadier-General C. H. Prickett, Imperial Army, retired, when Interviewed on arrival by the Wanganella, from Sydney, he and his wife having come to New Zealand for a year, both being keen fishermen. “I have travelled all over Europe in the past two years,” he said, “and the general feeling among the masses is definitely averse to war, and that is so despite the evidence of militarism in Italy and Germany."

Democracies needed special treatment.
