NAZI BRIBE OFFER TO PUBLISHER
Are
Nazi propaganda agents working desperately to stifle any form of criticism of Germany in the Press of the country.
Recently a well-known firm of London publishers, about to pro- duce a new
periodical, received à letter from a Hamburg Arm, offering to place a large advertis- ing contact, on, exceptionally generous terms.
But there Was one im- portant condition. The con- tract was to apply only 30 long as the new periodical contained no adverse com- ments regarding Germany and German afaks. The offer was refused.
The choice of tials particular periodical is significant, for it is one which is intended to appeal particularly to members of the fighting services.
It is known, too, that efforts are being made by persons in London claiming to be seeking to foster good relations between Britain and Germany to make this system universal as far 45 advertising of German goods is concerned.
