TRANSPORT PROBLEMS
GERMAN ADMISSION MANY DIFFICULTIES (Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, Apl. 6. “ The layman can scarcely realise the transport difficulties with which we have to grapple, especially in the East,” said one of the directors of the German railways, broadcasting over the Berlin radio. “It now is well-nigh impossible to provide any trains for passenger traffic. “Apart from terrorist raids, it is well known that the British and the Americans are giving first priority to causing dislocation and devastation ,of the whole railway system of Germany and the occupied countries. The permanent way is often destroyed well behind the actual front, and our troop transports frequently have to travel over half Europe. The outcome of many decisive battles depends on the punctual arrival of reinforcements. It is therefore our constant worry to disentangle at the topmost speed any traffic jams which might have terrible strategic consequences.”
