DEPUTISING FOR GOEBBELS
Sol,—A correspondent in your issue of January x2th quotes a paragraph from the Bridgwater Mercury to the effect that : "German announcers have gone so far as to mention small towns and places in the West Country . . .," and says: "It would be interesting to know if all England, Wales and Scotland has been covered in this fashion."
Similar stories are current in different districts in the North of England, but, in the cases of which I am aware, none of my informants has himself heard the actual broadcast men- tioning or threatening a particular locality. On inquiry one finds that A was told by B who was told by C . . „ and I know of no person who has heard a broadcast of this character.
If, as I suspect, these stories are baseless, some such body as Mass Observation might profitably investigate the spectacle of the people of this country doing Dr. Goebbels' work for
him.—Yours faithfully, J. H. BLACK. 35 Kinburn Road, Manchester,19.
