TOO MUCH POLITICS BY RADIO.
The poor Germans, it appears, have been humbly petitioning the Propaganda Ministry of Coebbels for more music on their wireless wave-lengths and less eyewash, notes “Lucio” in the “Manchester Guardian,” Their request has been sternly declined; they must take the medicine the doctor ordered. More music is “verboten” : “The German wireless,” says Coebbels, “has a mission to perform within the borders of the. Reich as well as abroad.” It has indeed. The doctor’s prescription is for soothing syrup about Germany’s prospects in the war, and that is officially supposed to be much more of a sedative than, any music that was ever written. The risks of a rude awakening are in the future, but even for the present apparently some Germans think that music would be a pleasant change.
