War Moves Today

By J. W. T. MASON

United Press War Expert

Disturbances: in German occupied countries, which have been concealed for a consideraple time, now are becoming too conspicuous for: secret suppression. Police action alone has failed to make the invaded countries amenable to Nazi rule and Hitler

is beginning to

find it necessary to employ military

means to maintain order.

In Holland the German Army has

invoked

stringent measures against strikers. In Norway Ger-

court-martial trials have been

ordered against local obstructionists.

In In éBelgium warnings of military penalties against violators of governmetital regulations are being circulated. In Rumania General Antonescu

Assurances Lack Conviction

— Puehrer’s assurances to the suppressed nationalities of Europe that he is working only for their fare do not seem to be carrying conviction. The situation is not happy for Germany’s post-war plans to make the European continent one contented family under Hitler's pa-

stig resentments against a

cifically, however, the im2 cause of open activities ‘the German authorities is ble: te the economic results of ~invasions. Since. the Gercupation of the small un- ; : European nations, their dlteh has become’ increasingly ; ecause of German seizures ‘commodities.

iving Standards Decline

These little countries have seen theird:normal standards of living essively decline, due solely to 3. orders .that the welfare of the German people must come first. Poverty: is replacing plenty in the all conquered nations. 3 1y. is taking without giving. al reaction to: this policy accumiilation of ‘anger and gt - which _ even the hard §.of the German police have able to control, - natbral that the diversion of ya from. the occupied countries to ermiany should breed hoarders and profiteers. In Belgium, especially, commodities are being concealed and withheld from the local markets to pring higher prices.

" The Germans are insisting on

heavy penalties being imposed upon those who are caught in this trade. The trade, itself, however, is due to the Nazi seizures of local produce which would ‘go to the Belgian people. Further resentments are due to Nazi demands for alien laborers within Germany. The Fuehrer is not known to have ordered the impressment of foreign labor for employment in Germany, but the re-

|sults do not differ radically from

such action, The interruption of normal economic life in the conquered nations has thrown large numbers of people out of work. Their means of livelihood at home has gone and it is difficult enough for those who have employment to meet the abnormal conditions. So thése’ unemployed are being enticed into Germany, the only place work is available: They have to labor for, their conquerors under conditions ‘that ostensibly = are voluntary but in reality, are the result of Nazi destruction of their home employments. There is no hope of improvement in this general situation. As the war continues and the German food supplies decrease, it seems certain increasing sacrifices will be demanded of the occupied countries. That being so, an increase in resentments against Germany appears inevitable. Sterner military, measures by the Nazis will be needed and the situation wil become increasingly complicated.

Continued | peppering of - the Lease-Lénd Bill in the Senate brought ‘a quick response from Administration leaders, who seek an early vole. A resume of progress: Nye, Republican, of Nevada, charged: “I'he British are conducting a financial sitdown strike to obtain fre¢ war aid.” Taft, Republican, of Ohio, con-| tended: “Unless we are prepared to declare war ourselves, we should not pass the bill.” Clark; Democrat, of Idaho, declared: “The bill will authorize the President to conduct an undeclared war anywhere in the world.” : Administration leaders, sensitive to the charge that the bill would lead the U, 8. into war, abandoned their strategy of silence and -sent their big guns into action. George, Democrat, of Georgia, arose to shout: “I don’t want to go to war. That's why I'm for this bill —because il will keep us out of war by strengihening our national defense.”

President Roosevelt criticized publication of secret testimony on strengthening of air forces in the Pacific as a positive detriment to the country’s defense. He insisted he was not attempting to raise the question of censorship of the press of radio, but was offering an interesting ethical question. Lowell Mellett, director of the Office: of Government Reports, told a House’ committee that the Administration has “absolutely no plans” for censorship of press or radio.

LABOR--‘SCOUTING’ RAPPED BY KNUDSEN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 (U. P.).— Director General William S. Knudsen of the Office of Production Management ‘said today that some defense: employers are causing undue labor migration by “labor scouting” and nation-wide advertising campaigns to find workers. Mr. Knudsen wrote all defense contractors that the defense commission had asked employers working on- defense contracts to recruit workers ‘thortigh 1500 state-oper-ated employment offices of the U. S. Employment . Service. Some employers have co-operated, but others, he said, “have engaged in unnecessary labor scouting and nation-wide advertising. “These practices result in unnecessary migration of labor, high rates of labor turnover, disturb-
