GERMAN BROADCASTS
THE REALM OF HOPE A discussion on how a German could be served in Germany with divorce papers tiled by his wife in New Zealand prompted Mr Justice Smith, in the Full Court on Monday, to remark that the Berlin radio was giving over the air the names of Australian and New Zealand prisoners of war. and if the object was to conciliate the two countries the authorities might make special attempts to notify the husband (believed to be in a concentration camp) that his wife was seeking a divorce. He was simply wondering, added his Honor, why they went to the trouble of broadcasting prisoners’ names.
Mr R. Hardie Boys: Just to show broadcasts can bo believed, I suppose. Mr C. H. Taylor: I think it is to get New Zealanders to listen to the broadcasts and be misled by them. His Honor: That remains in the realms of hope.
