When this is translated into comcreheneible languP(e it me?'ns chat the
enemy radio station is praised because it has learned to mask its true pur-
pose, to lie boldly, and to evade questions which would reveal its true nature
as the instrument of aggressive policy against the totality, independence,
and liberty of both Czechoslovakia and Poland. It is praised because it can
deceive and cheat its listeners. This is an acknowledgement that the entire
activity of the so-called Radio Free Europe is based exclusively on lies.
The English newspaper confessed that "Free Europe" is not only an organ
of US aggressive propaganda, but at the same time an espionage organizaticn
which serves the enemy's purpose -- the purpose of German revenge.
simply this, it is crying because the etstire iperatien is about to be un-
masked. Adenauer'e government cannot cempr?-ne,,u E,22 this sub rosa activity
and it asks the traitorous band of emiLres to show its true colors and openly
publicize the new i.unich and agitate for another occupation of Czechoslovakia
with the aid of SS troopers and the. jest:-po.
The English newspaper stated that unless the treaties between the West
and Bonn are -?atified, Radio Free Europe will have tL operate under a !;erman
license, ena the Bonn government has threatened to rescind this license if the
broadcasts originating there do not. conform to German pe.elici~-. In other words,
its license will be revoked if the radio station will not openly support the
new Hitler-like policy of 'Brang ar.h Osten" for the subjugation of neighboring
nations -- this time with a new expeditionary force under US command against
the USSR.
From the above it can .asiiy be discerned Just how thin is the mask cover-
ing the actual aims of Radio Free
In reality, this arch- traitoro?s stenos; is only instrument of German
revenge which __ oeino let ions.-: i?alund, and other
peace-loving notions in support -.f JJ monopolists.
It is the shrill, creaky 'Juice of she ii ressurs whose progr&m is bound
to end in a shameful fiasco.
