A sensational scheme has

Bogos Radio
Oontinued from Page 2
everything /would be better
under Hitler; therefore the
British should get rid of
Churchill and negotiate a
peace. The other three bogus
stations are allocated to de-
finitely sectional interests, to
what the Nazis appear to imag-
ine are possible centres of op-
position to the Government.
One of these stations is directed
to the English unskilled work-
er. This, incidentally, shows
the somewhat odd notion the
Nazis have of the English un-
skilled worker, for there is no
attempt at reasoned argument
in the talks, and the language
used is almost incredibly foul-
mouthed — certainly un-
quotably foul-mouthed.
The methodical Nazis have
also another bogus station,
specially for the Scottish un-
skilled worker. From what I
have heard of them, the in-
tellectual level of the talks
aimed at Scotland is consider-
ably higher, but the language
(I regret to say, speaking as a
Scot) is considerably fouler.
The fourth of these bogus
stations calls itself “The
Christian Peace Movement”. In
Great Britain the Pacifist is
allowed to have his way; there-
fore the methodical Nazis try
to create as many pacifists as
possible in Britain. So they set
up a bogus station calling itself
“The Christian Peace Move-
ment“. Like the others, it
claims to be located in Britam.
Its programmes consist mostly
of prayers to God for peace,
and repeated homilies on the
so-called Christian virtue of
non-resistance, especially the
virtue of non-resistance to
Hitler. This combination of
fraud and blasphemy is beyond
any comment I can think of.

was also hit and probably sunk.
The other ships in the convoy
were also straddled with bombs
and machine-gun fire.
SUBMARINES GET
ANOTHER
The Admiralty also announc-
es that our submarines were
busy in the Mediterranean
yesterday, when they encount-
ered an enemy convoy, escorted
by 3 cruisers and 3 destroyers.
One of the cruisers was tor-
pedoed and possibly sunk, as a
large area of sea was after-
wards observed to be covered
with oil. Three of the supply
:-nips were also torpedoed and
sunk.
R.N. STOP SUPPLIES
The Royal Navy is splendidly
co-operating with our land
forces. Every night it flings
tons of 6-in. salvos into enemy
positions on the coast, and day
and night H.M. ships are keep-
ing their weather eye on enemy
supply and transport ships,
seeing that no reinforcements
get through.
The enemy is too busy ashore
to pay any attention to our
fleet, and the Italian navy has
so far kept in the background.
