SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"
Berlin, Oct. 22 (Reuter) --The feature of the Sunday evening radio programme broadcast all over Germany was the statement of Dr. Goebbels, the German Propaganda Minister, imaginarily cross-examining Mr. Winston Churchill, the British First Lord of the Admiralty, and demanding a "personal and precise reply."
Questions dealt with included the now well-known German allegation that Mr. Churchill was responsible for the sinking of the Athenia with three British destroyers.
The Athenia case "is not yet finished. It is only beginning and it is better if you spoke now," declared Dr. Goebbels in the minatory tones of Counsel to a hostile witness.
