Words at war. of the era. National Broadcasting Company in cooperation with the Council on Books and War Time presents another of the most significant programs on the air today. Words at war, gramitizing

the most representative books to come off of this world conflict. Tonight, Glenway West gets absorbing novel of the German character, apartment in Athens. You mean to actually invite a German officer to come and live with us?

It is a good policy, dear. Is it possible for our halyonors to suggest such a thing? But that's all the more reason, Zoey. The name halyonors is suspect already. But Patris and old Georgus will believe you've gone over to the enemy.

Perhaps they're a sternist stuff, and I am. Or perhaps they don't love their wives and children as much as I do. Nicholas, our own little Alex has the spirit, too, and he's only 12. Your cousins will have nothing but contempt for you, so will Alex when he's older.

We didn't know. This proclamation today forces any Greek family to take in German officers. If we're forced to it, yes. But if you make a friendly gesture toward the enemy, everyone will know it and we'll be in disgrace with our own people.

Nicholas, I'd be so ashamed inviting one of these Nazi brutes into our home. My dear, I know how you hate the Germans. I'm not exactly fond of them myself. But they're human, too. They need food and lodging. Why, Zoe, we could get 40 marks for the front room.

40 marks of inflation money, perhaps enough for a loaf of bread. But there, don't you realize that our problem is one of sheer survival for the duration? No. We've used up all our resources. I have a wife and two children.
