BILL BLASTER TAKES THE AIR

"Lord" Haw-Haw, Germany's ex-public entertainer No. 1, has lost his No. 1 imposition to a new "star"-Bill Blaster, the Crimson Cockney, writes the "Sunday Dis- paten.".

Bill's is a twice-nightly turn, He speaks from the "Workers' Chal- lenge Station"-one of four new German efforts at propaganda in English. And he swears.

Haw-Haw has lost his public because he couldn't keep up his original suave and amusing sar- casm. Nowadays he often drops into tiresome, nervous hysteria. Bill hopes to recapture your at- tention-by Rabelaisian abuse of the British leaders.

"Mr. b-Morrison has been opening his marth,"

the Crimson Cockney. * 'EC

has been miking a grite offensive, "The only b offensive he mikes is against the workin' class."

Factories are going up in smoke. Docks are being 'be'd up." And our leaders are "fat b reptiles," "fat lousy" and "dirty skunks" to say nothing, of "rotten scarn- drels,"

R.A.F. 'planes are so rotten that pilots are afraid to go up in the air!

"Why shouldn't we be bosses for a chinge?” he cries.

He wants the "a-Boll-ishon" of many things, including leaders who "ratted from the working. clarsses."

He is disgusted by the general. "incomPETTence;"

·To poor Mr. Morrison he says, "You are a hell of a b-re- former, you aret You have le' the ca outer the bag." But the "Nassis" are just another kind of capitalist class.

"It is only necessary for a few million workers to go

on the streets.

"The bloated- fools in Downing Street cawn't stop us.

So, art on the streets; while there. still is time." Oh, I almost forgot. When you demonstrate in Downing Street don't mind” ⠀ the "coppers." The British; "èrard” | won't stand for them using their sticks, The bosses will run like rats.
