INSANITY VERSION

DANGER FOR GOEBBELS

(Rec. 12.30 p.m.)

RUGBY, May 15

In one of the broadcasts today to Germany; a 8.8.C. speaker said:— "I want to discuss what Goebbels would like you to think about the Hess incident. Five days after Hess left Augsburg, Goebbels released his version. His experts have taken their time in dealing with the letters Hess left behind. I wonder if you find it as difficult as I do to believe that he flew to England out of mad sympathy for the British people.

"We agree with the German propagandists that Hessv wants peace for the German people. We agree that he possesses secret information, but is it not possible that his concern is for the German and not for the English people? Is it not possible that his secret information is about such matters as the Balkan casualties, the state of Kiel and Hamburg, and the fate of Prien, Kretschner, and Schepke (lost U-boat aces), and their unnamed colleagues. May he not know more about America than some of his colleagues who have never been abroad?

"I leave it to you to decide whether it was very sane concern for the German people or very mad sympathy for England that drove him to take this step. Perhaps, after all, we have found out why Goebbels is so anxious to prove that his comrade is mad. Hess must know a lot about the doctor and his other colleagues. It was his job to do so. And now he is sitting talking freely and writing. It will be very dangerous for Goebbels and his colleagues if Hess is sane after all." — 8.0. W.
