HITLER PICKS HIS "GAULEITER" ΤΟ RULE BRITAIN-IF HE WINS WAR Victory Plan to Make Britons All Nazis; Bring Over The Gestapo; Control British Industries! Nazi Bosses

Receiving Order Against KEITH

in Training THE MAN WHO MADE

AMSTERDAM.

HITLER has chosen the man who will be Nazi dictator of Britain-IF Germany wins the war.

The man is Gauleiter E. Wilhelm Bohle; born in Bradford, Yorkshire, thirty-six years ago of German parents—but still entitled to British nationality and a British passport.

He will be installed in London, but the Nazis have not yet fixed his official residence, nor the date on which he will take office. They have decided to uwalt events.

Meanwhile, according to reports reaching Amsterdam from Berlin, Hitler's preparations for dealing with Britain after the war are in full swing.

The whole country is to be divided up and ruled by local Gauleiters (leaders), backed up by Gestapo agents.

Special schools for these future rulers of Britain have been formed at Bad Tolz, high in the Bavarian Alps, and at Marburg, old Prussion university town. Here picked S.S. men, the black-shirted elite of the Nazi Party, are working night and day, studying English and the other details "of ruling Britons."

STOCK MARKET REPORT

Bongkang Stock Exchange Official Summary issued yesterday says:

of

C. M. MANNERS, Secretary and Maunger, Hongkong. 11th March, 1040.

This young man, with the hard, handsome face, left England as a small boy and went to school in Capetown. He owes his career in the Nazi Party to his fluent English, which he speaks) with a guttural accent.

When he took charge of the Auslandsdeutscher in 1933, his subtle plan was to organise concerts, lectures, dances and social} events in big cities throughout the world, and so keep Germans in touch with each other.

In London the Nazi headquarters were in Cleveland-terrace,

Bayswater, and regular dances were held at Porchester Hall.

To make sure that everything was running as smoothly as It ought, Bohle paid a visit to London.

Perhaps, with some premonition of what was in alore for him, he even stood outside Buckingham Palace and other London buildings trying to make up his mind where he would live one day.

Bohle prides himself on his knowledge of England and the English.

So the S.S. men who will serve under him are being given "crammed" courses on English life, customs and etiquette.

They hear about the mysteries of Yorkshire pudding and a nice cup of tea. Nothing is neglected. With typical German❘ thoroughness, they even receive lectures on the English sense of humour.“

AFTER bitter attacks on the Churches, who were accused of profiteering at the expense of evacuces, Brigh- ton Education Committee disapproved of the schedule of rentals of 50 church and other halls recommended for hiring for school purposes in connection with evacuation. It was stated that the rentals would total £10,000 a year. "Scandalous," declared Councillor J, C. Sherrott. "The whole thing recks with profiteering."
