FOUND Dr Bloch,

I seventy-one-year-old Jewish

physician whom six-year-old Adolf Hitler used to call "Uncle Doctor," in a modest third floor back room of a Lisbon boarding house, where he and his wife were waiting for a boat to take them to their daughter in New York.

old Ten days previously the couple left the little Austrian town of Linz, where for the last forty- Alve years. Dr Bloch, as the kindly country doctor, had ministered day and night to rich and poor.

Among his patients had been the family of a humble Customs officer named Alois Hitler.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT. THE WAR

"WOE, WOE !"

ANY people are wonder-

MANY how we can "take

Italy out of the war" by an- other sort of offensive-the already propagandist sort, exemplified in the Prime Minister's broadcast to the Italian people.

We desire again to be friends with the Italians; again to feel towards them as our great writers felt in the last century: Browning, Swin- burne, Meredith. We may as-

sure

them of this desire. But is there much that the friends of Italy could do in this country that could be inore effective than the im- beeile-maunderings of their own tyrants at home?

After the Greek victories, the North African campaign, Bardin and the rest, can it be pleasant for anxious Italians in half-starved cafes to listen to Jeremiads of "woc, wee!" from Ansaldo?

Can it convince them that they are winning to be toll that every defeat is an "in- cident."

Above all, can it relieve their wounded feelings to hear (as they have this week) that whatever may happen Italy never, never will desert Germany?

Part of the final blow of propaganda against Italy may be left to Mussolini!

Setting The French To Work

The German locusts have been feeding on France for the last Ave months, and now there is little left for them to cat. Now the Germans are determined to make the French work for them. The two million war prisoners are going to work in and their upkeep will, the terms of the armistice agreement, be paid by the French Government. The French unem ployed are being tempted to sign contracts for work in Germany, it is announced that in Paris alone 15,000 have already signal on. The Germans

are keen to get under contract men frem the engineering and building trades. The contracts bind the men to stay in Germany for as long as they are nected. Lastly, those Industrial workers who are left in Erance will work chiefly for Germany's war needs.

"clearing arrange- comousinged us a ment" between Vichy and Berlin, дл arrangement too complicated for a starving unemployed man to un- derstand. The agreement con- eluded between Vichy and Berlin provides that all payments due by Germany in France shall be paid by the French Government. The scheme is, in effect, financed out of French infatlan., The Germans, In addition to creating for them- selves an artificially favourable franc-merk ratio, are Alling up the French Treasury with paper marks which the French cannot use- (Manchester Guardian Weekly),

"I had wanted to take an air- plane direct here from Vienna." said Dr Bloch In a quavering voice as he sat on the bed talking to me. "but the Lufthansa men warned me that while they were prepared to give

me a a seat, as a great favour, in the plane. If an Aryan Germani came along and asked, for it, I would have to give it up to him. So preferred to go by train with the rest of the purly."

"Do you know," said Frau Bloch, "Hitler hadn't forgotten my hus- band? When he drove through Linz after his entry into Austria In 1938 he passed our house and waved up to our window with a special smile."

The old doctor nodded confirma- tion. "That is to say, my dear, he said, "that is what they told us. You see," he turned to me, "as Jews we were not permitted to be at the window when our Fuehrer passed.

"Uncle Doctor, they said how can you think of emigrating at your age? And auntie, too. Stay with us. It will soon all be different. I think in Linz they really loved us. Don't you think so, my dear?" he asked his wife. She did not answer. There were tears in her dim old eyes.

The following are extracts taken from a letter just re- ceived by a well-known British firm in Hongkong from an officer of its parent organisation in England. Each month, the writer circulates such a letter to all the oversca branches of the organsiation in order, as he says, to give an iden of conditions at Home and particularly of the spirit of the English people.

"Poor old Musso! He and another baldheaded man put their heads together and made a perfect ass of themselves! Little Adolf. furious at the de- feat in Egypt, asked him what had happened to his army and navy, about which he had boasted so much. "I only told you," said Musso, "they were in good running order. Besides, what can we do against the Australians? Eleven of them beat all Eng- land two years ago."

"Anyhow, Wops are going cheap in Egypt to-day-as for Wop Generals, you simply can't give 'em away. A little keen Cockney corporal, fisherman in days of pence, was put in charge of some 257 prisoners-but only arrived back with 250. When asked for an explanation, he said "Soven were so small, that I simply had to put 'em back.".

"On the Home Front, wo remain blitzed but,blissful, as I said in my Blitzmas greet- ings to you all. Damage has, of course, been suffered, but it is speedily made good.

"Of our Headquarters, one wall remains, identifiable only by the brass plate that was on It and by a notice saying that new offices had already been opened at another address.

"That's the spirit of Eng- land to-day-we carry on, and wait for the day of revenge.. The other day I passed a little "pub," all its windows broken and somewhat battered be sides, and this was the mes- sage It displayed:
