CZECHS

(By A Czech Correspondent)

The latest news from the Czech Protectorale reveals that a determined new effort is being made by the Nazis to subjugate the Czechs and to break their stubborn resistance to German rule.

The Gestapo has carried out the largest round-up for severnl months. More than 1,000 Czechs have been arrested in Bohemia and Moravia and sent to concen- tration camps at Buchenwald and Breslau.

Among them were many pro- minent Czechs, including the uni- versity professor Vaclav Halfert, the former deputy Richter, director of the Zbrojoka arma- ment works in Brno, many county officials, railway officers, and pro- partvincial Sokol leaders All have been subjected to brutal examina- tions.

"The Roosevelt-Churchill meet- ing ended the chances of a fur- ther opportunist policy on the ol Japan," the paper says.

"Japan must either leave the Axia and abandon aggression or fight it out with the combined forces of Britain and the United States."

The Gestapo claims that the action was a heavy blow against President Benes's underground cir- organisation. Czechoslovak
