Hitler Has Lost War Twice Over: Germans Disagreeably Surprised
By Pounding They Have Received
HERR HITLER HAS LOST THE WAR TWICE OVER.”
Mr. Wickham Steed, the well-known author and journalist, attributed this state- ment to a former Austrian officer (who was interned in England and who was now at liberty there) when he broadcast from Daventry last night in his weekly series on "World Affairs."
Detalling the incident which led to this remark being made, Mr. Steed said that last week the British Government had" decided to intern all ́altens in the country. Be- hind that sweeping measure was the determination to stop the leakage of information to the enemy and in a number of cases the decision had acted in a harsh and unjust manner. A number of Innocent people, who had been affected by, the step, however; had since been released.
