WAR-WINNING JOB

RADIO TALKS TO OCCUPIED EUROPE. One of the most valuable of the war-winning jobs that the 8.8. C. does is practically unknown to listeners in Britain and the Empire. That job is broadcasting to the peoples of the occupied countries of Europe. Most of those broadcasts are aimed only at . giving straight, news and keeping alive the spirit of independence —the V campaign is a good instance of the letter. Sometimes, however, they have a more immediate application. Here is an example. Long before British bombers wrecked the Renault Works on the outskirts of Paris, the 8.8. C. service to France had reiterated this message: —“Here is a message of extreme importance to our listeners, especially for those who are working in war industries. Certain factories in France are working for the Germans. You have already been warned that these factories are in danger, of undergoing aerial bombardment either during the day or during the night. Again we give you this warning. We know you approve of us. We know that you will understand. We cannot give you very precise information; we. can but give you this very general warning. Keep -away from the factories that ares working for the Germans.”
