GERMANS LISTEN-IN.
POST OFFICE AS TOOL. j j LONDON, September 11. The "Daily News" draws attention . to the fact that the Post Office is » unsuspectingiy helping Britain's Con- » tinental trade rivals by granting facilities to favoured individuals and firms \to use British wireless stations for rapid transmission to Germany and Holland of market quotations and other commercial and monetary intelligence, whereas in the absence of reTilar wireless services British business people are unable to , obtain similar information from Germany and Holland. The "Daily News" states that this » has been continuing for a long time, t facilitating the manipulation of the London foreign exchange market. - The r newspaper hints that the Post Office | is unwittingly granting facilities to persons suspected of espionage on behalf of Germany, .and also for the dissemination in Germany of propaganda. It suggests that the ■ German Govr ernment, financially or otherwise, is • interested in the wireless news service . from Britain, and that the wireless f services to Britain from France, *Swit--1 zerland and' Spain are being secretly tapped on behalf of Germany?
