COAST SIGNALS
AIDING NAZI PLANS WORK OF ENEMY ALIENS Fishing circles in East Coast I ports endorsed a statement by Colonel H. W. Burton, M.P. for Sudbury. Suffolk, in the Housa of Commons that enemy aliens living in dock areas in Britain are giving information to the enemy. Representatives of trawler firms stated that their men constantly report attempts by strangers to extract information about the move-* ments of the fishing fleet. These questioners frequent bars and eating-houses used by fishermen and dock workers. It is stated that their activities are particularly noticeable in Hull, where some of the docks are not enclosed. Most of the aliens have lived in the district for some months, during which they have built up a facade of respectability. Their questions are so discreet that they are difficult to challenge. Their information is gathered not only by talking to fishermen, but through the evidence of their own - eyes. It is impossible at a busy port to keep every movement secret. Trawlermen who have to fac<i the menace of the Nazi bomher express grave disquiet, at recent happenings."
