Sin-—With reference to the "'warning" published In. the "NCDN, special noon bulletin, regarding the Widely "elreulated "enemy. booklet "truth About This. War", kindly allow me through the medium of Your newspaper to inform the public at large that the chapter in. the Dookiet under the title Poland" seemingly depicting historical events of Poland's emergence from slavery well as ancient Polish. history, does. not "coincide with any existing annals of Polish history much less with the "Encyclopaedia' Britannica, All so-called "facts" printed therein are fables published t0 the detriment of the goodwl of the Polish people for too obvious a reason. Nevertheless, some people may stil be. misguided this book due to the simple reason that until the Great War, Poland had tween obliterated. from. the map of Europe and no atlas showed the ex-Istenee of Poland. Moreover, no per= zon of over thirly years of age has earnt anything about" Poland in vehool because until twenty years yo no Polish history was taught In However, not wishing feneroach on your valuable space for repudiation of all quotations from the Encyclopaedia Britannica used In-perverted: manner, nor indulge in vitiieations. of the authors of the booklet, 1 beg to draw attention to the fact that there are a number of authentic issues on' the. subject. of Polish history obtainable in reputable bookstores.

Cheap Form of Amusement To the Editor of the "Nonr-Ciuwa Datty News"

Sin—If any of my fellow-English= mon would like a Tittle Tight entertainment in these grim times for the old Homeland, T would advise them listen in to the news in English from Berlin, This, on the word of a man who has religiously tuned in to Berlin thrice daily since the outbreak of hostilities, and whose friends tell him that it is a form of sadism, Par ticularly, would T recommend them to Lord Haw Haw when he Ison the air—he is worth following. Let me aive you an instance. Shortly after the intensive bombings of London oran, Lord Haw Haw quoted. with alee @ complaint by the "Dally await" that air-raid shelters were. woefully deficient in the London aren and xeferred {o the paper as "this important of British public opinion." 'Three days Inter the "Daily Mall' tore into the Germans for the. in~ Aliseriminate machine-gunning of A small village in south-east England. Lord Haw Haw, quoting this item, referred to the "Dally Mail" as "his pornographic Jewish filth." T do love his restraint—and. his capacity for eating his bun and' stil) having it, This "very evening Berlin reported what would seem to have been the biggest air raid yet on the city us being a raid upon innocent civilians, Harrowing details were given of poor Berlin workmen who had saved tip all their tives to build a little house and garden of their own and seeing Tald fat, along with many tarm= houses in the vicinity. The picture of Germany denuded of all farm houses and workmen's dwellings while hier vast armament industry carries on at full blast undisturbed and unseen by the inemicient RAI. would be pathetic, if true, The apologists for the delayed-action invasion of Britain are equally entertaining but still thunder forth that Brit reckoning is ever and al the eorner—just out of sight. T could ole many more items but time and space do not permit. The "English men, was our news in English." 1 advise one and all to try it. Ite cheaper than stepping out, believe a now, T lean back for the from! Berlinand s0 to bed with a good heart.
