GOEBBELS ON WAR

CHEATER SACRIFICES YET.

ALLIED SHIPPING LEEWAY

(Roo. 9.0.) LONDON, June 6Doctor Goebbels, giving a speech at Sports Palace, Berlin, said: We are doing everything possible throughout the Reich to alleviate burdens of air war. Yet. much remains unsolved. People in air raid zones are resisting the enemy’s criminal air terrorism with unparalleled heroism. At the moment, we must suffer this crime with hard-set teeth The coming of victory depends to a igreat extent on how the people can take it The average German has not an'idea of what populations are suffering in air raid areas in the .west and north-west. People complaining elsewhere should look at Essen, Dortmund, Bochum, Wupperthal, & other towns in the air war areas and blush with shame. The enemy -may turn, our homes into shambles, but, one day, retribution will come! Dr. Goebb.els claimed that the German Naw and German Air Force up to May 31 had sunk twenty-six and a half million tons of enemy shipping. He said: “The enemy cannot catch up with out sinkings, whatever his new shipbuilding. Our front is also holding firm in the east.’’ Dr. Goebbels gave a warning that whoever spread enemy rumours weakened Germany’s strength and committed a sin against the Germans’ will to sacrifice, which had been consecrated by the death of thousands of soldiers.
