́HAT is going on in
Holland?
The Dutch them- Bulves 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- lsh and non-Aryan composers— but the news bulletins are supplied by Germany.
The B.B.C. news broadcasts in Dutch are eagerly awaited, but listening must be done in secret.
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 to "co-operate" with the Dutch local authorities provided that “ no action is taken against the Releit. its leaders, or any of its soldiers." Similar posters, also announce ordera to the people by the Dutch burgoinanters "In complete ngree- ment with the German comman- der."
For instance, Rotterdant recently learned in this way that its burgo- master, "in completo agreement with the German commander," had ordered that from 7 p.m. to 8 am. each day, traffe over the Maas bridge would be suspended.
Everybody understood that this was to protect the Rotterdam nero- drome and oli tanks from sabot- ago,
This use of the civil authorities to announco 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 religious acr vices. The Jews feel nervous and stay at home, but there are so far no signs of activo persecution.
Naturally, there is everywhere a feeling of uncertainty and unrest. Bomething must happen, but no. body knows how or when. There

Trade and industry have come to a standstill. On May 19 the Cler- -man-High-Command-ordered--all workers to resume their duties.
But many factories have been wrecked. The big textile plants in Eastern Holland are intact, but Jack of raw material prevented the werkers from obeying the German order.
In the province of Brabant the textile factories are ruined.
The big radio and electrical works in Eindhoven, which used to employ about 30,000 people. have closed down.

They had expected to be received with open arms. Their commanders had counted on any losses.
Instead, and in spite of treachery within, they were met with resist- ance. They lost some of their most valuable ships.
The German naval attaché at Oslo was heard to reproach a Nor- wegian bitterly with the sinking of the cruizer Blucher at the entrance to Oɛlo harbour.
He had good reason to be con- cerned. Among the 1,000 men lost on board were the advance Gestapo forces.
For several days after the occu pation of Oslo, therefore, the Nor- weglans were able to organise without fear of Nazi police control, The Nazis also lost men, far more than they counted on. The full story of the resistanco made all along the coast has not yet been told. More is known of the guerilla warfare inland.
Above all, the Nazis lost in morale. Innumerable-young soldiers believed that they would be welcomed as protectors by people who had shown them hos- pitality when they were child refugees during the last war.
Some of them went visiting their foster parents. Their dismay st boing thrown out was such that soldiers were seen collapse. in

The Germana set out to placate the Norweglans. They tried to play the game of protection.

They began looting-but only wholesale. That is to say, they left the retail shops alone.
The stores accumulated by the Norwegian authorities wero taken and sent to Germany. But the in- dividual Norwegian was spared the rod, except in such matters as stricter rationing and the control of private bank balances.
As time went on and it be came clear that Norway must be considered ap enemy country, more severe measures were intro- duced.
The Norwegians were no longer allowed to move about freely in the occupied territories, They were threatened with reprisals.
Looting became more systentic and more detailed.
Above all, the economic life of the country was destroyed. Towns and forms have been bombed to bits or wiped out by fire.
Unemployment is tremendous. Inland and coastal communica- ttons have not got going.
So far, Norway is a dead toss to the Nazis. They have to go on fighting for the country.

After all, the Norwegians stil have their own Government in exlatence within their own fron- tlets, oven If it has had to retreat to the far north.
The Norwegian broadcasts from London communicate the instruc- tions and information to the Norwegian authorities from the non-occupied areas to the occu- pled parts, where everybody listens.
The Nazis have, so far been-un-- able to prevent that,
The Norwegians, therefore, con- tinue to present a firm front, at least in the spirit.
The first favourable circum- stance will show that the front can be re-established in action.
