Germans Plundering In Vanquished France

Cruelty, bribery and plundering have followed the German army of occupation into vanquished France. Information which has just reached London by way of New York shows the extent. to which the superficially correct and disciplined behaviour of the modern German soldiers is just clever showmanship, cover- ing the old German instincts for pillaging and looting, cunning, treachery and bad faith.

An American observer says: "France is being drained by its victors, Practically no house, large or small, has been spared from theft. Of ransacking and plundering they make almost a science, so thorough and methodical are these modern gangsters.

"The Germans have taken from the country 70,000 railway waggons. Lack of transport material is the essential cause of the present food shortage, a situation which the Germans have themselves wilfully creat- cd," he continues.

How grim life would be for sub- ject peoples it the Germans won the war is shown by facts, many from officint Nazi sources,

which have been collected by the International Transport Workers' Federation.

Plan for Natives

For the coloured peoples of Africa the Nazis already have a plan, the principles of which are stated in the "Nationalsozialistische Monatsbeffe." the Nazi official monthly organ.

Negroes would be required to work in the plantations, but would then be sent back to their tribes. They would be barred from urban occupations, and only a limited number would be educated. The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeltung" sums it all up: "The native must be handled firmly; he must feel a strong hand in control, and nothing must be conceded to him even out of kind-heartedness.”'.
