If he remains at the head of the Duffy. Dr. Manion is faced with the problem of finding a scat in the new House of Commons. He was defeat- ed personally in Fort William con- stituency in the March 26 dominion election.

Invading Hordgs-Sweep Into Three Neutral States — Use Parachute Troops — Open Drive With l_3_o_n_ibing Raids.

‘By The Canadian Press)

Germany’ today invaded The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, claiming it was taking those countries under its “protection” after learning the Allies intended an “immediate” offensive through the low countries toward the rich German industrial area of the Ruhr valley.

The Dutch Quartermaster General reported some rlilccs had been opened, flooding parts of the country “ac- cording to plans" laid months ago when Holland first considered herself threatened by massing of Nazi forces on hcr borders.

BROADCASTS WARNING

Exchange Telegraph ln London said the Hllversum radio station broadcast a warning to thc Dutch people that German parachute troops had landed in parts of Iiolland, some in German and some in Dutch army uni- forms.

Citizens stood in the streets of Brussels in their night clothes ivatching an early morning air raid as military

cars and motorcycles dashed through the streets. Troop- ~

recall placards were posted through Belgium.

The invasion of Belgium started about 5 a. m. (mid- night EDT Thursday) when German planes crossed the border.

Aggression against the three small countries by Ger- many coincided with zi British military occupation of the little North Atlantic country of Iceland, forcsfalling a reported German move to take the island. .

Iceland conceivably could have been used by Germany as a stepping stone for aerial attacks on Canada, via flrccnlziiid. technically a Danish colony. lndepcndent of Denmark, but zicknmvlcdging allegiance to thc Danish King. lccland was left, in an isolated position when the (lcrmans scizcd Denmark last month.
