in the carly days of the oc- cupation. she sa n. the German military authorities behaved in a "correct" manner, but when they were succeeded by the Civil Administration and the Gestapo things became much worse. The Grand Duchess expressed pleasure at the present attitude of her people. At first, she said, they could not understand why she und her family left. They thought if the ruling house had remained the Germans would not have troubled them.

"Now they understand," she ad. "They realise that I can do inore for them outside,"

"I will do whatever is best for my people," she said, when asked about plans for the postwar or- ganisation of Europe. She said many persons were working on plans for a union of states which would provide greater security than in the past and still leave all countries with their independence.
