2. The daily broexloasts of the Viet ..,Unh radio are heard in Hano`io These broad.-
casts are mainly composed of na s about r Iitary cor tests which have about
as much foundation in fact as some of the more extr avagarat French claims;
ners of the -vmndexrfu.1 progress being made by the zones under Viet Minh
control; fanciful plans for the iraprrcvement of the lot of the Vietnamese
people.; and e thortations to the people on all subjects, stressing the defeat
of the French invader. Hai large a.a'a audience Is rciached by these broadcasts
is a matter of conjectured .post of the Vietnamese in the French controlled
cities have radios but there are verg few among tbka people in the country-
sic.e. Much of what is brow east by the Viet iLti h radio is believed by those
Vietnamese Who hear it.
