TODAY AND YESTERDAY GERMAN CONDITIONS COMPARISON DRAWN In. an.interesting'lecture on Wednesday evening before the German Club, Dr. Greta Short described episodes and impressions from two trips'to-Germany in 1026 atjd 1931; from these periods she drew comparisons with pre-war conditions. In 1926, she said, conditions were briefly what might be expected as an aftermath of the war years. The hunger blockade had resulted in concentration on the necessaries rather than on the varied cultural interests in life; this was noticed even in gardens, where vegetables supplanted flowers. Duriug the inflation period, foreign capital utilised the opportunity of creating cheap foreign ownership of things German. Many buildings, for instance, thus acquired by foreign- syndicates were not properly looked after and assumed an appearance of neglect. As against the prewar period, national health showed very definite retrogression,. as could well be understood from .the nature and general lack, of food owing to blockade. A DIFFERENT GERMANY. It was therefore with mixed feelings, the speaker continued, that she approached Germany about five years later via_ Constantinople, Belgrade, Budapest, Vienna, and Prague. Everywhere in Germany, however, she found that the German spirit had-triumphed-over the poverty that had arisen after the desperate years of inflation. Poverty had become a virtue. The inherent instinct for order and tidiness showed again in the carefully cultivated fields and in the cleanliness of the villages, towns, and dress. New cultural conceptions were growing along new lines in accordance with prevailing conditions, and were finding enthusiastic reception. Of the 100,000 students there were more who worked their way through the universities. German youth had discovered the advantages of sport, and was intensely interested in it. Travel in Germany had been popularised by increased facilities and reduced excursion fares, and increasing numbers of people were following this fascinating pursuit in their free time. Passenger air service was both good and comparatively cheap, and was widely utilised where time considerations counted. The youth movement; was also something new in the dimensions, it had assumed. In the province of Brandenburg alone there were over 100 hostels which provided cheap lodging for young trampers; in the whole of Germany there were between two and three thousand such hostels. As a result of better and sufficient food, and of sport and tramping and exercise generally, the national health had definitely improved. The new architecture, a number of illustrations and examples of which were shown, had modelled itself along lirfos of efficiency and expediency, and was a manifestation of the desire for light and sun and simplicity combined with strength and utility. THE THEATRES. Many Americans visit Berlin. English people seem to prefer the Rhine,. along which they could travel to the Black Forest and to Switzerland. Life in the West End of Berlin, with its music, dancing, and cafes, had an indescribable gaiety and charm. The theatres again drew large crowds, and it was interesting to compare the performances presented in the different theatres with, those presented in the same theatres in pre-war times. Gerhardt Hauptmann, whose mystic play, "Hannele," was presented recently in Australia, was perhaps the greatest of present German poets. Much discussion centred around a host oi 'new names such as Hindemith, whoso musical play, "Neves vora Tage," was produced in Berlin. Jessner was Berlin's greatest producer at present, and was perhaps even more highly gifted than Reinhardt, who was at present organising the famous "Fcstspiele' '"in Salzburg. LAWN TENNIS : —*. An enjoyable, afternoon, was spent, recently when a large attendance of members and friends was entertained at the official opening of the Kia Ora Tennis Club, Porirua. The season was declared open by the ( president, Mr. R. Sievers, after which afternoon tea was provided, by. the ladiea. The hostesses were Mesdames T. Harris, E. Mexted, and A. Daily.
