My dear Professor Tillich:

As I told yesterday evening, we are beginning now with the short-wave broadcasting to Germany, and we shall have every sunday morning from 9:45 to 10:00 fifteen minutes for Protestant News.

As I told you some time ago, we have the following idea: the Protestant listeners in Germany must get the impression that this is not only a military war or a war for power politics, but that the religious leaders all over the world are fighting Hitler for spiritual reasons, and that they are advocating a decent peace after the over-throwing of Hitler. The best way to communicate with the German listeners is not the straight appeal but the information about what happens abroad. Therefore, the idea of sending news and not speeches.| It is not necessary to have a lot of news for every broadcast. If you can take three events for instance, a Protestant Congress somewhere in the world and the new primate of the British High Church and perhaps an interesting article in a Protestant Magazine and if you add some comments, that would be a perfect broadcast.

The first Protestant News will go on the air Sunday, March 29th. I should like to have the script five or six days earlier for passing the censorship. You don't need speaking it yourself, we have a speaker. If you cannot organize the Protestant News for the first date, I propose that you begin with a speech, for instance, with a Protestant comment on the treatment of the Jews in Germany. Of course, I do not expect in this something for the Jews; I expect something for the Protestants.

You may send the script to Dorothy Thompson. But if you have some questions, you may call me up under my own number, Plaza 5-1293.

I thank you so much that you will spend some of your precious time for that purpose and I am,

very truly yours,

Budzislawski
