B.B.C. BROADCASTS
REPLY TO FEEBLE ENEMY EFFORTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, October 20. One of the governors of the 8.8. C. spoke today of the “ghost” voice that has been interrupting British broadcasts. He said that the enemy hoped,_ by injecting an interrupting voice into the British news bulletins, to upset morale, but had only succeeded in getting himself laughed out of court. The voice did not cause any surprise to the 8.8. C. The idea was fully understood by radio engineers, and could have been carried out by the 8.8. C. itself at any time since the war began. “We prefer to use the transmitter to send to the enemy themselves or to the peoples in the conquered countries a message that is really intelligible and that will have its effect,” he said. “Those who doubt the effect of the 8.8. C. overseas service in the enemy and occupied countries have only to think for a moment of the penalties, including even death, imposed by the Nazis on those who listen, and yet the 8.8. C., the only true; the only free voice in Europe, has an immense audience in Europe.”
