TRAITOR VOICE BOASTS ON PARIS RAID
French radio listeners are being subjected to a series of weird pro-; grammes featuring German artists and containing blatant Nazi propaganda, slates the former Paris correspondent of The Times. "The ultimate humiliation for Parisians must be hearing Paul Ferdonnet, the traitor announcer of! Stuttgart, on Radio Paris," writes! the former correspondent. Choruses and mouth organ solos by members of the German army of occupation are being relayed erratically from Radio Paris. Ferdonnet, in a revolting mixture of threats and hypocritical cajolery, including a tribute to Petain whicih even the Marshal woukl hardly t relish, emphasises the "betrayal' 5 of France by Britain. After hinting at the terrible revenge Germany will shortly be taking against' the "ignoble British," Ferdonnet declares that Frenchmen must accept defeat as the final settlement of accounts and must no longer regard Germany as the hereditary enemy, but must work in collaboration with the Reich. Ferdonnet's programmes are being relayed to Radio Paris from Stutt* gart.
