'HAT is going on in
Holland?
The Dutch them- selves don't know very much more than what they see in their own districts.
True, their newspapers are still being published, but the only news they contain is supplied, by Germany.
True, the radio stations are still broadcasting-even music by Eng- Ilsh and non-Aryan composers —— but the news bulletins are supplied by Germany.
The B.B.C. news broadcasts in Dutch
are eagerly awaited, but Hatening must be done in seeret.
The German High Command swiftly plastered the country with huge posters ordering the popula- tion to keep calm. The Germans are willing these posters declare co-operate with the Dutch local authorities provided that "no action la taken against the Reich, its lenders, or any of its soldiers." Similar posters also announce orders to the people by the Dutch burgomasters "in complete agree- ment with the German commun- dor."
*
For instance, Rotterdam recently learned in this way that its burgo- master, "In complete agreement with the German commander," had ordered that from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. each day, trame over the Maas bridge would be suspended.
Everybody understood that this was to protect the Rotterdam acro- drome,and oil tanks from sabot- age.
This use of the civil authorities to announce such measures shows that the German High Command, for its own sake, is trying to keep life in Holland as normal as possible. No steps are yet being taken to suppress relligious ser- vices. The Jews fect nervous and stay at home, but there are
Are so far no signs of activo persecution.
Naturally, there is everywhere a feeling of uncertainty and unrest. Something must happen, but no- body knows how or when. There are whispera about sensational events "in other placoa" but no- body la able to check up on these rumours and the spreading of such "news" is in extreme punishable by death,

The German naval attaché at Oslo was heart to reproach a Nor- wegian bitterly with the sinking of the cruiser Blucher at the entrance to Oslo harbour.
He had good reason to be con cerned. Among the 1,500 men lost on board were the advance Gestapo forces.
As time went on and it be came clear that Norway must be considered (13) enemy country, more severe measures were intro- duced.
The Norweglans were no longer allowed to move about freely in the occupied territories. They were threatened with reprisals.
