We are to be attacked by "certain effluvia" produced by radio,, which "in combination with electro-magne- tic powers attack the, nervous system in a relentless and suave manner."

This, as the context reveals, is not intended as a description of Lord Haw-How. It is a piece of Hitler science.

There is little comfort for Hitler in the United States plans.

He is being told no matter what degree of submission he may exact from conquered na- tions in Europe and no matter what variety of puppet Govern. ment he may instal in them he will not be allowed to take their |possessions in the West.
