AN “INCIDENT”
FEELING IN PORTUGAL. The wearing of “V” and “R.A.F.” badges has been prohibited in neutral Portugal, the official reason being that it might lead to “incidents.” News of the following “incident” was sent to the 8.8. C. foreign section a short time back. “I was walking along the street, when a policeman stopped me, ancl pointing to my ‘V’ badge, said: ‘You know, you shouldn’t be wearing that!’ I started to argue—that it was quite harmless; that it merely showed that I was pro-British —as all good Portuguese should be.” “Quite, quite!” he replied excitedly. “But all the same you shouldn’t wear it so publicly! Why don’t you do as I do?” He proudly turned back the lapel of his coat and displayed a “V” badge pinned underneath.
