NAZI PROPAGANDA EFFORTS
London, To-day.
FOR SOME WEEKS NOW, examples have been given of the various ways in which the Nazis are trying to put their propaganda across.
These examples have shown that the Nazi effort has some- times been the "lie direct," sometimes the "lie indirect," and sometimes a quick change of face, such as, for in- stance, when the Nazis took over the Allied war aims and announced that they were going to "free Europe from the terror,” and so on.

Last week, Ribbentrop defended the invasion of Norway on the grounds that Germany used to defend her use of poison-gas in the last war -i.e., that Britain was about to do the same thing.
If Ribbentrop studied the world reaction to his speech, he probably felt saddened to find how sceptical and doubtful the world is about a German Minister's "pledges."..
-Ribbentrop gave a story of how the campaign in Norway had started. The fact that the campaign had started was about the only true thing he did 'menilon.
Hitler, however, then announced it had ended and that the German Army had finished Ita “mighty task,"

PATERNITY BLOOD TEST DOUBTED
The value of blood tests in paternity cases was questioned at Southend Police Court when the hearing of an application for an order was adjourn- cd for Dr. Roche Lynch, the patholo- gist, to attend.
It was stated that Dr. Roche Lynch, with the consent of the complainant, Miss Emily Joan Woodward, of South- end-road, Rawreth, Essex, carried out a blood test on her, her child and the putative father, Arthur Leslie Hornby, dalryman, of Runwell-road, Wickford. Paternity was denied..
INTERESTING EFFORT That was the most interesting effort of Nazi propaganda for a month. It was led up to by statements about

Nazi propaganda has two objects to unite the Germans and disunite the Allies on the Home Front.
SECOND PAGE NEWS
Has it united the Germans? The 'various newspapers complain about the number of people trying to get food by devious means; they denounce rum- our-mongering, and so on. The Ger man radio is angry about people who read their newspapers from the "wong end and muttering, "If only we were allowed to talk." The Norwegian cam- paign has been second-page news in all papers..
Here at home, the Prime Minister's speech on Thursday: was one such as no German official has dared to make
since the Nazis came into power. In the House of Commons next week, this speech will be examined and judged.

Mr. H. J. Jefferies (for Miss Wood- ward) said it seemed revolutionary that a test by one man should take
out of the hands of the Court the right to say there was no other evidence to satisfy them on the question of pater- nity.
Mr. Jefferies said it was an extra- ordinary case, because relations took place at Hornby's house with the con- nivance of his wife.
