Nazis Tell Their Silliest Lie Yet
BERLIN wireless stations recently launched the most scur- rilous attack against Mr. Winston Churchill that they have yet managed to inyent..
At the beginning of the war, they said, the First Lord sold a large block of shipping shares. Then he "organised the sink- ing of the Athenia" so that the shares would fall and he could buy them back cheap.
"In this way," said the speaker, "War-monger No. 1, Wins- ton Churchill, speculates on the Stock Exchange."
Here are the facts. You can work it out for yourself.
Prices of three typical shipping shares, before and after the sinking of the Atheniò, taken on September 1, before the war, and on September 0, after the reopening of the Stock Exchange:
Sept. 9
Berit,' 1. Share Cunard-White. Star Za, Od. Court Lines
88. 6d. iix 30. Lamport and Holt 5s. Od. Od.
Anyone who sold these before the sinking of the Athenia and then bought them in again must have lost heavily by the transaction,
Lle-monger No. 1 in Berlin will have to watch his market reports more carefully.
It will take more than his present ingenuity to prove that Mr. Churchill, or anyone else in England "organ- Ised" the sinking of the Athenlo.
