INVASION QUESTION
Axls propaganda on the question of invading England has begun in both Germany and Italy.
A German commentator, broadcasting from, Berlin, yesterday. said, "What does not happen in a year may happen in a moment. Britain will be beaten long before American help can become effec- tive. You know what I mean when I mention the word, invasion."
The commentator went on to add that the Germans will find it easy to land in England and that the people of the United States will find they are wrong in thinking that their help will prevent this, states a London message.
