Field-Marshal_Goering's latest broadcast scceh gives the impression that he is merely fatiang slow tov prove that neither honor the Reich is. afraid' "of the Allied" blockade. "Sconomicaliy"" he declared "we cannot be Jeonquered, militarily even less, and our morale fS"invincibte" All of which sounds very well ud doubtless serves to allay the anxiety which ie without a doubt being fell in Germany over the" possible results of the complete blockade which the Allies have now inettuted.
