SECRET EXHIBITION.

EXAMPLES OF COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA. SHOWN TO SELECTED PERSONS IN BOME. CHURCH’S MOST DANGEROUS ENEMY. LONDON, October 5. The "Morning Post’s” Rome correspondent describes a secret exhibition at the Vatican, where selected persons are shown proofs of Communist propaganda collected from all over the world, revealing the Church’s unsleeping vigilance against its most dangerous enemy. The first impression on passing a heavily-curtained doorway is of entrance into Moscow’s Ministry of Propaganda. A lifelike effigy of Lenin placed on a rostrum covered with a red pheet points fiercely to rooms containing proofs of his policy of exterminating existing society and uprooting religion, including a copious display of open and clandestine periodicals circulating in both hemispheres. The exhibition reveals the far-flung co-ordination of Moscow, and discloses the methods of app-roaching the different national mentalities. It also shows the Russian genius of psychology and opportunism in exploiting local grievances. The recent intensification of propaganda in Spain is most notable.
