Postal Workers In Raids
the
Taking up the defence of post office workers against the com- plaints of delay in the services and of the closing of post offices during the period of air rakl warnings, Mr T. J. Hodgson. general secretary of the Union of Post Office Workers, said recently that the post office had been faced with a problem of understaffing as well as nir raids. Many post office workers had been called to the Colours, and it would not have been forgotten that on recent occasion King commented on the number of postmen now in the ranks.
Thousands of post office workers had been working 12 hours a day, Sundays Included, for a long time. Apart from the exceptional cases in which men had lost their homes en- tirely there were others who could not get home, night after night, Their duty ended at the time the enemy began. Post office workers were not afraid to do their duty, and more than their duty, but many places, like sorting offices, had glass roofs, with only wire netting protec ton. and the work of increasing the protection took time. Telephonists, holding the vital communications of the country, could be fairly describe
as in the front line. They wero du- ing splendki work. The telegraph service was anowed under, as well It might be.
Mr Hodgson, said that the closing of the pubic counters on the receipt of air raid. warnings was a depart- mental regulation. Post office.wor kers had not asked for preferentipl treatment over the rest of the wot- kers shouldering the burden in these doys.

Edith von Ohler calls herself a journalist, but she is in fact one of the lenders in De Goebbels' pro- puganda drive into the Balkans.
Not only do the Nazis give away articles and photographs, they buy up whole newspapers to put over their propagandn. German news- papers are on sale at specially re- duced prices.
The allons are not far behind, There

All this seems 2 most fertile ground for Axis intrigues. But there is one great stumbling-block. There are many different nation- alities in the Balkans, and each nation is fiercely jealous of the In- dependence. There are Slavs,

For generations these minorities have been fighting for indepen- dence. Any attempt by Nazi or Italion to overrun the Balkans would cause even greater revolts.,
