Editor Guillermo Gutierrez Vea- lUrguia of the newspaper Larazon, which has campaigned for 18 ‘months against whatit called "the ‘infiltration of dangerous foreign Iinilucnccs in our midst," asserted .thut the plot to overthrow the Bol- ivian government was directed from iBcrlin. ‘ Bolivian authorities listed three newspupermen among those arrest- ed: Armando Arce, publisher of the small daily La Qalle, whilh has been by turn Leftist. middle-road- er and extreme Rightist; Augusto Cespedes, Arce’; chief editorial es- sistant; and Carlos Montenegro. publisher of a Cochabamba week-

Both Arce and his newspaper were mentioned in the Washington blacklist 0f July i8. Another La Paz newspaper, Inti, which first RPDeared June 20 and is also men- tioned in the blacklist was anoth- er closed by the government. The others were El Trabajo and the weekly Busch.

The latter was named for the pro-Nazi dictator. German Busch. who committed suicide in August, i939. after a stormy career in which he signed an agreement with Ber- lin by which Bolivia was to ex- change gold mining concessions and oil for pipelines. farm machinery and other products valued at $25,- 000,000. The death of Busch and the allied blockade at the outbreak of the war led to postponement of the agreement. ,

Home Bolivian dailies of the first rank had published war material from the German legatlon as paid advertising. Publishers said they were forced to consider, in this con- nection, that their largest, regular

At the Charlottetown Hotel, the visitors were received by Lieuten- ant Governor lePage and Mrs. 1e- Page. Premier Campbell and Mrs. Campbell, at the entrance to the dining room. The Lieutenant Gov- ernor was accompanied by aides. Major O. W. Campbell and Lleut. K. Blrtwhistle. Many local citizens were introduced to Governor Mur- phree.

Following the luncheon, the par- ty motored to the Provincial Bulld- ing and were taken through the Confederation Chamber - the birthplace of the Dominion cf Can- ada. At the suggestion of Premier Campbell His Honor Lt. Governor Murphree signed the King's Regis- ter using the same pen that King George the VIth and Queen Eliza- beth signed with when here in 1939.

After leaving the historic cham- ber, the Mississipplans were driv- en around ihe city and to Govern- ment House. From there they went to the Experimental Farm and at 10.15 p. m. Daylight Saving Time, boarded their train. They left here for Halifax, N.S.

Lieutenant Governor LePage. at the conclusion of the luncheon, was called on by chairman, Hon. H. H. Cox. to make a few remarks. He extended a cordial welcome to the visitors and regretted that their visit was so short. His Honour also reminded them that they were vis- iting “one of the finest spots in North America." He referred to many attractions of this province, mentioning the pleasant climate and referring to the beaches. He also spoke of the good relations which existed between this country and the United States and the fact that the border between the coun- tries has been unguarded for a century and a quarter. He invited the visitors to see Government [House and Grounds.

"We live alongside each other in peace. cooperation and goodfellowship," he declared. Un- fortunately, due to war restrictions, it is difficult for the people of this province to repay the visit but. he hoped, when these are removed, it would be returned. He extended a sincefe welcome to the visitors and invited them to visit the Confedera- tion CPamber.

I-Iis Worship. Mayor B. Roy Hol- man, extending the welcome of the City of Charlottetown. told the visitors that "if you did not in- clude in your itinerary Prince Ed- ward Island and Charlottetown in particular, you would have missed. not only the most beautiful spot in Canada, but you would have missed seeing the place where the birth of this vast Dominion of ours took place." He added that the trip here was “a further melding of two great nation; in a. common cause." Con- tinuing, he said. we regard you visitors as though each and every- one were an ambassador of good- will." Presenting Governor Mur- phree with the key to the city, he stated, "This key L! unique.

French peasants were said to have originated a. method of chalk- ing the letter on their hands l0 that it f; transferred to German soldiers’ uniforms from a clap on the back.

Britons believed Germany’; effort to utiliu the same symbol in a counter-offensive was admission of grave concern over the effects of the V drive.

A Reuters news agency dispatch quoted the Bulgarian radio as say- ing that European volunteers in the German war against Communist Russia were now wearing e. V as a distinguishing mark standing for Nazi "viktorla."

But British commentators said ironically that more likely it stood for German vexation or the Ger- man word "verloren", which means "lost."

In Britain, where the psychologi- cal war was formally launched ear- ly today with a. BBC broadcast calling for V-day observance and "mobilization" in which Prime Min- lster Churchill himself gave sup- port to the drive. enthusiasm ran high.

The Prune Minister's message, read by "Col. Brltton," BBC com- mnnder of the campaign, said:-

"The V sign i: the symbol of the uncormlerable will of the occupied territories and a portont of the fate awaiting the Nazi tyranny. so long as the peoples of Europe continue to refuse all collaboration with the invader, it Ls sure that his cause will perish and that Europe will be liberated."

After reading tho message “Col. Britton" urged his listeners to "wait for the word," and he pro- mised that “when the moment comes action would be such that the Germans would be powerless to halt it.

This was believed to be an indica- tion thnt Britain would call on the occupied countries to rise in arms against the Nazis when the British army again gets a foothold on the continent.

In Britain, daylight found the symbol axuberantly displayed on sidewalks. walls. automobile wind- sh folds-everywhere.

Women wore "V" hats and brooches, newspapers used the mo- tif in tnolr front page makeup, car- toonists had a field day. hotel wait- ers laid the silver‘ in V shapes, and dance bands played new V songs.
