BOY SCOUTS BLAMED
CZECH SABOTAGE “HAW-HAW” RADIO (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 11 a.m. RUGBY, Jan. 3 The commentator facetiously known as “Lord Haw Haw,” owing to his mannerisms, who nightly addresses the English public from a German radio station and whose comments on affairs are mainly distinguished by grotesque misrepresentations, last night made himself responsible for the following observation:—
“The sabotage in Czechoslovakian factories is due to the evil influence of British Boy Scouts.”
This is the conclusion of Yugoslav observers which is being freely mentioned in Belgrade. They point out that companies of these alleged Boy Scouts were accustomed to camp in areas where the sabotage has Recurred, and they took advantage of the opportunity to spread anti-German feeling among the local population.
