Haw-Haw
And the Answer to Him
From Our Own Correspondent
Papeete, Dec. 16.
TAHITI has a Lord Haw-Haw in the person of a young Euronesian (half European and half Polynesian) who was caught at Saigon when the Japs invaded Indo-China.
He broadcasts once a week, in the Tahitian language, from a radio station in the Far East. The substance of his broadcasts is the usual Nazi-Vichy pro paganda.
Our Tahiti radio broadcaster usually answers him by asking if the same Jap soldier is holding the bayonet pressed against his back while he is broadcast ing, or if the Japs work in shifts!
Our foreign colony now has been reduced to a small number of middle aged and elderly gentlemen who have disposed themselves at such distances from each other that they seldom meet.
Thus, for the first time in years, the harmony of our community is almost seraphic.
