trates high treason" daily against England by broadcasting from Ger man stations with intent to disturb British self-assurance.
 He is blond, ruddy-faeed, short, William Joyce, former British fas- cist Mosleyite who was a prime mover for national-sOcialism in England until August, 1889. Then. as it became evident war was about to break out, he and his wife hastily packed a few bags and dashed away to Germany. They'd become sold on Nazi-ism and on Hitler as it's world exponent.
 Now several times of an evening Lord Flaw Flaw reports the war in I15 minute broadcasts, always direct ed at English listeners He ribs Brl- ltish patriotism, sardonieally ridieules British claims of victories. He urges the ineYitability of Nazi victory with half caioling, half ironie voice as British as Trafalgar square.
 His Title" Is British
 Quickly his programs attracted a tremendous audience in England English papers and magazines car ried stories about him. Who was he? If he were German, how could he have acquired that unburred Eng ] fish acent? The British dubbed him Lord Flaw flaw.
 Even in Germany, few people know him. He broadcasts only on short wave bands Germans rarely have short wave receivers, and are for bidden to listen to foreign broad casts. Foreign correspondents, al lowed to tune in on foreign broad casts, listen to him regularly, but i few ever have seen him.
 We met quite by accident, of all hours, 3:30 a. m. in the half dark ened hallway of the German propa- ganda ministry. The foreign press had been invited to tour the city to see the effects of a British bomb raid. Joyce was going along too.
 That's Lord flaw Haw,a whis- pered one of the party to me. In no time we were talking. He is decided ! ly short, perhaps five feet four in- ches, and tightly knit physically. 1 His voice was unmistakeable. On the air he uses no name whatever i In Germany he has adopted his Ger man name of Froeltch.
 He grinned when I suggested he was far better known in England than in Germany.
 They Like His Drollery
 q suppose so, he said, then ad- ded with that touch of drol1ery that seems to have tickled the English:
 Not so many listen now. The German bombers are keeping them the cellar all the time"
 He was casual and friendly. From time to time he strolled over to my side to help me understand the flood of German that periodically drowned my limited vocabulary.
 A day or so later he sent me a book in English he has just publish ed in Germany. Called Twilight Over England" it tells his views of why England has come to such a pass. She ought to have become na- tional Socialist, Joyce writes.
 ''I was born in New York in 1906" Joyce wrote. My fathers people had lived in Ireland since the Norman conquest From my mother I inherited English, Irish and Scot tish blood
 'I went to school in Ireland . From my earliest days I was taught to love England and her Empire. | Patriotism was the highest virtue that knew.
 Joyce joined the British fascists in 1923, when he was about IT. He saw "certain amount of street and hall fighting" against the commun- ists, "of which I shall carry the marks so long as I live" He has a scar across his right cheek.
 In 1883 Joyce joined Mosley's new British Union of Fascists." and in- stilled in it, he said, definite anti Jewish policy.
 ''To anybody who could see, in the years 1884 and 1885," he wrote, ''it was only specially successful effort to spread national-socialism widely in England that could avert the tragedy which has come to pass"
 He broke with Mosley in 1897 lover organizational matters," and formed a movement of his own. To the Jews and financiers he laid most of England's troubles. British pa triotism, he said, ever neglected the English poor. Two times in the year before the war he was arrested, and later acquitted of charges of disturb ing the peace and assault.
 Then, as the country moved to- ward war, he prepared to leave He felt that if, "for perfect reasons of conscience. could not fight for her 1 (England), must give her up for ever"
