§ Mr. De Chairasked the Minister of Information how soon after the fake broadcast on the B.B.C. wavelength had started, disparaging the American Army, the B.B.C. realised what was happening; and why no announcement was made by the B.B.C. before the fake had already been reported in the United States Press, with unfortunate consequences.
§ Mr. BrackenA catalogue of lies is regularly broadcast by the German radio station at Arnhem. The B.B.C. warned the Allied Expeditionary Forces against these fake broadcasts so long ago as 5th November last, and they issued a further statement to the Press about them on 5th January. It was reported in this country only on 10th January that one of Arnhem's many items had caught the fancy of some Americans and misled them. The B.B.C. published their correcting statement on the same day.
