CBS European News

The news of Europe as it occurs. The world is now awaiting the arrival in Berlin of Sir Neville Henderson, British Ambassador to Germany, who took off from England's Hesternerdrow nearly three hours ago, flying to Berlin with the British Cabinet's answer to German Chancellor Adolf Hitler.

Now during this broadcast period, we shall hear the latest word direct from the two key cities of London and Berlin, as our CBS representatives speak to us across the ocean by short-way radio. First in London waiting to speak to us now is the Chief of Columbia's European Staff, Mr. Edward R. Murrell, and to hear Mr. Murrell, we switch you now to London.

This is London. Europe is all peredot these days. For instance, one of the few places in Europe where international railway traffic is undisturbed is the Polish-Porador. Germany's transfer to ransement continued to function without a hit.

Prains continued to cross the corridor without a hit. And Germany is set still to be sending military transport over the line. Now here in London today, the Chinese and Japanese ambassadors call the Tafarnos, and they call together, and that's something that London hasn't seen for a long while.

It's also just been announced that Germans have been instructed to leave Hong Kong. Poison Airport will be blacked out tonight, and the Admiralty have forbidden the use of wireless transmitting apparatus from any seagoing ship in British territorial waters.

And I should not be surprised to see certain steps taken during the next 24 hours to establish what would be called a voluntary censorship over certain other forms of communication. The first defense order, or the freedom, was issued here today.
