Police Inquire Into Pamphlets From Italian Internees In Manx

POLICE in the Isle of Man have failed to discover how pamphlets written by Italian internees in the island were smuggled from their camp and delivered by post to hundreds of Manx citizens. The pamphlets, printed by duplicating machine, ex- plained that Italians are not such bad fellows after all, that they have sons or friends in the British Army, that their wives and children are being bombed.

Manx people want to know how this pamphlet came from the aliens' internment camp, who printed it, who obtained a list of their names and addresses, and who posted it to them. The pamphlets were distributed after Mrs H. L. Fletcher, wife of the director of education in the Isle of Man, organised a concert to aid hospital charities.

It was announced when the concert was arranged that several

internets well known in European music circles would take part. Danger Of Neurosis

The announcement coincided with news of the bombing of women

and children in London, whereupon Manxmen and their wives Among War Babies

protested.

Letters poured into the homes of the promoters of the concert denouncing such a way of rais- ing money for charities.
