Let Hitler's regime receive a decisive blow and the embittered peoples will revolt: let the German anny begin to retreat and there will be many soldiers left in foreign lands for the long sleep. Erwin D. Canham, writing recently in The Christian Selence Monitor, reviews the news that is trickling out of the oceupled countries, Here Is a Lrief summary of his report: France--Carefiil surveys, made for Petain, show 90 per cent of the people sympathetic with Britain, small military supplies stored for possible uprising; much espionage for the British. Belgium Little Information the same as in France Netherlands—~Nazi movement made little pro- gress: loyalty to Wilhelmina's government in Lon- don; population holding itself In check against pres mature uprising but determined to regain [(reedom when the opportunity come Good espionage for the British, which the Nazis cannot control Denmuark--Pro-Nazi Danes overwhelmed by new patriotism, supporting the British; Nazis unable Ww control vast patriotic outpouring Ciood nlorma-~ tion service for the British. Norway—Disillusioned, peace-loving people de- termined to regain freedom; exiled government functioning, perfecting methods of passive resistance and preparation for regaining freedom, When break- ip comes Norway lkely to turn on captors with {lerceness unsurpassed by other peoples. Brave and resourceful Norwegiang out information about Nazi preparations and weaknesses Austria—Basis for uprising suspected; some loy- il Nazis but much disaffection, cay of troubk ter and sabotage NOW Crechoslovakia-—Most skillfully prepared of any aires, with concealed arms, centuries-old technique of resistance and esplonage system beyond former efficiency; real capital in London In close touch with homeland; people doggedly determined to live and regain independence, Poland—8killed passive resistance but these most-battered people are being punished by political police; exist in numbed misery, which will give way to bioody revolt whenever the opportunity comes. This, we believe, will strengthen the admiration of Americans for the peoples of the conquered land of Europe and cenvince some doubters that democ- racy remains alive in Europe, ready to spring to life when the sent affliction is removed but picture much get able pre HITLER'S CHAT TO GERMANS In his proclamation to the armed farees of Ger. many Hitler boasted that “we have succeeded in a few months of world-historical fighting in bringing the unsuccessful heroic fighting of the World War to the final point of success.” He sald that “the war must De continued as a result of the will of democratic war-mongers and Jewish capitalists” but the year 1941 will bring con- vmation of the greatest victory in our history.” “The year 1841." he added, “will see the Ger. nan Army.
