HOME SERVICE AND EUROPEAN SERVICE
Sta,—I read with great interest the article by Mr. A. L. Kennedy, ",Talk- ing to the World," but our experience here in the Netherlands does not exactly coincide with his plea for a post-war " European Service.". In occupied Holland we were all very thankful for the news in Dutch of our own "Orange Radio" in London and for the news of your "European Service," but it is a remarkable fact that nearly all my countrymen who had some knowledge of English preferred the Home Service of the &B.C.; it was, they said, more pure and objective, and gave the news with less " propaganda " than the other news services. This is a psychological reaction from my—perhaps supercritical—countrymen which the British Government and the B.B.C. will perhaps be interested in knowing:— Yours truly, J. BARENTS. The Hague, 38 Frambozenstram
