WHAT GERMANS THINK OF GOERING
(Rec. 1.10 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 8. Another chapter in the life of the German people is cabled by the Stockholm correspondent of the “New York Times’’ whose report is based on observations of a neutral eye-witness who has just got out of Germany. The morale of the people, he said, is very rapidly weakening as the result of the continuous air raids. Bemedalled Herman Goering, who promised immunity from air raids, is now called a damned fat liar. Whatever war enthusiasm prevailed hitherto completely disappeared in the early weeks of the clash with Russia. A well organised underground communist movement covers the walls of factories with anli-Hitler slogans and incitements to sabotage. These activities have infuriated the Gestapo who chalked beneath the slogans “why don’t you write this in daytime.” Next night communists wrote beneath it “because We are too busy in the daytime parading for Hitler.”
