BITTER ATTACK

ANTFNAZI RADIO POWER OF THE PEOPLE END HITLER REGIME (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Sept. 20 The German Freedom Party’s secret radio station again bitterly attacked Hitler’s regime. It said: “Hitler's speech was one continuous lie. It is being said throughout Germany that a speech from Hitler is worse than a bad harvest. “You Germans have the power to sabotage his factories, destroy the harvest and paralyse traffic. Every shell which fails to explode is a shot in the heart of the hated enemy. Every ton of coal not mined is a blow at the regime. Every penny withdrawn from the savings bank will be missed, but Hitler, he does not deceive us. “We cannot win the war with the blood of 80,000,000 Germans. Hitler has no other resources. Britain and France have invested only part of their revenue in the war. Germany has spent all her reserves in advance.” The announcer also said: “Hitler has no chance of uniting the German people behind him. He will capitulate, for he has not a chance. “It is therefore better for the German people to rise and defeat him than to let him be defeated by others and go down with him.” The broadcast was jammed out after 20 minutes.
