GERMANY

The renewed and inten- sified bombing of German cities is plainly having a psychological as well as a material effect. The people did not expect it. The war was to be kept far away from them.

The French people, help-| less as they are under the German heel, remain strongly pro-British. In Denmark, which was to be made a showpiece of German generosity, the occupying forces receive ernment should facilitafe the transit of sup- the cold shoulder.
