"Deutschlandsender," the German radio' station, yesterday told the German people carry their mone that "Charlie Chaplin's hate-propaganda film will hardly be able to bolster up Chur- chill's bad mood with its silly jokes."

Mr. Churchill's annoyance, says! the Nazi radio, is likely to be greater than his ability to be en- tertained" by, his "Bat-footed friend's" Jokes.

hope that Italy will resist, but of- 1ers no prospect of German as- sistance except to say that the Reich will relieve Italy by con- stant attacks on Britain.

This is in startling contrast with an article the previous day in the "Veelkische Beobachter," which maintained that there was

no

cause for anxiety and poured scorn on the assumption that Ger- many will leave Italy in the lurch. This confusion of propaganda is taken in London as a clear in- dication of the confusion of policy caused by the failure of plâns to drive into the Near East with Ita- lian collaboration, together with Germany's inability to help Italy without involving both Axis part- ners in d'ficulties and risks they do not want to face.-Reuter.
