GERMAN SYMPATHIES
Mr O. Pirow’s Daughter LONDON, June 10. Else, the slim, blonde 18-vear-old daughter of the South African Minister for Defence, Mr O. Pirow, arrived at Southampton on her way to Bavaria, where she will work for at least a year in a women’s labour camp. “I want to share in the training for womanhood, which is compulsory for every German girl.” she said. “I know that I was born British, but can’t you understand? Father was a boy in Germany. All my grandparents were German. At home we speak German and think in German. I feel that Germany is home. “I came to England two years ago. but though I tried and tried I could not find any sympathy. There was nothing to make me feel that I belonged. Now I am going to try to be a good German, for a year at least.”
