BECAME PRO-GERMAN
PEOPLE OF BRUSSELS
NEW ZEALANDER'S TESTIMONY
(Received June 21, 9 a.m.)
LONDON, June 20.
Mr. Reg. F. Conrad, a New Zealander, formerly of Adelaide, and his wife arrived in London after five weeks under aerial bombardment in Belgium and France. They were in Paris when the Germans entered the outskirts of the city.
Mr. Conrad lived in Brussels and saw German propaganda costing about £1100 a day slowly turn the minds of the Belgians until the invasion of the Low Countries took place, when Mr. Conrad estimated that at least 80 per cent, of the population was openly pro-German.
Mr. and Mrs. Conrad were bombed and machine-gunned between Brussels and Paris.
