THE FAR EAST.
GERMAN PROPAGANDA. TO STIR UP TROUBLE. WARNING TO BRITAIN. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. London, Jan. 3. Lord Northeliffe, interviewed at Colombo, said that Germany was expounding the Berlin propaganda enormously in the East by daily wireless news tapped during the voyage, disclosing misleading lies concerning the Washington Conference, affairs in Egypt and India, the post-war gloominess, and the condition of British trade. This the foreign vernacular writers are hungrily absorbing. It emanates apparently from the’same mischievous minds that were operating in war time, and is equally dangerous, owing to the present uncertainties. Excepting half-a-dozen British-owned journals a tone is rapidly increasing in the Eastern Press inimical to England. A huge Japanese propaganda fund controls many agencies and newspapers in the Far East. It is npt known in England that the majority •>: these foreign papers are under the ■ 'ntml of Germans intent on stirring up * r n blo towards the English and promoting . iu; sale of German textiles, engineering, automobile and other products. The Times in a leader, commenting on this, says: “The very weighty statements of Lord Northeliffe as to German activities in the Far East should be a warning even to those placing trust in Germany’s repentance. Germany apparently is aiming to stir up trouble between the British and French, the British and Americans, the British and Japanese, and the British and Indians. It spreads among the ignorant credulous populations lies and nischievous half-truths. It is more mischievous than in war time, and Germany is lavishing money thereon, while she blandly assures us she desires nothing but a true and sincere peace and that she is quite unable to pay anybody’s jiist debts.”
