HOW TO WIN THE WAR
To The Editor, "The Listener." Sir.-Why not broadcast to the Germans from our front-line trenches the wailings of those people of neuter gender who moan about stars above, love, soon, moon, heart, hart, etc., in various combinations, accompanied by nigger music consisting of kerosene tins, tom-toms, cat-calls, and donkey brayings? Whataver the shortcomings of the Germans may be, they are a very musical nation, and I feel confident that should these noises be put over to them for 24 hours continuously, they would either go mad or hoist the white flag. Yours, etc.,
ANZAC
Otorohanga, February 25, 1940. (The Germans unfortunately are as familiar with them all as we are.-Ed.).
