Recalls Invasion Of France. Low Countriesin 1940

By 1.0!. ROBERTS. Jr. (Associated Prue News Analyst) with the anti-Communist Flor-

eisn Ministers d the West meet- illsiniondoninsnefiorttoch mcnt their co-operation, it is Just as well to remember what lack of 00-Oncraticn did to Western Eur- ope 10 years ago.

On Nay 10. 1940, the phony war in Europe was turned into buts- krleg. The German armies swept into Holland and Belgium, and within a few weeks were to be in Paris and on the Channel, looking down the throat of in Britain ber- eft of both allies and arms by the sudden turn of events.

One reason was lack of co-ope;-. siion between Holland. Belgium and the larger powers. Holland chose to stand alone in an effort to keep her record clear as a hen. trial. and there were indication 31153 Belslum agreed. The Hague probably figured that Anglo-French support-would not change the out- come for Holland anyway. Whether it would have seems debatable. But if the Germans had met Brit- ish or French forces in the Low Countries, preparations at the Maglnct Line might have told a different story later on.

Holland knew for at least five days what the Germans were up to. The Associated Press reported it two days before the Germans struck. It seams likely that Brit- ish and French authorities knew. too. since Dutch information about the intentions of German forces massing in the Ruhr was extreme- ly ccmplew.

On the Saturday before the strike, the Dutch appointed their ambassador in Washin as minister plenipotentiary for all Dutch interests throughout the world. This obviously anticipated Holland's occupation. But the ac- tion was not made public.

The Dutch even knew at which border Points the Germans would strike first. and the movements of German troops around Duesseldorf made the timing fairly easy to compute.

When the German plan really became known I don't know. but this shows it was at least five days before the blow which act- ually fell around midnight Thurs. day. North American time. To have made plans for handling their business around the world from Washington the Dutch must have had even more time.

The damage done by their- fall. uro to invite Anglo-Bench support is hard to estimate. since the French were committed to their fortilications and the British line behind Belgium and Holland was extremely thin.

But the point is that Holland Stood Ikme. and Holland fell with a suddennesr that shocked the world.

That's something for the Allied dlpi " to remember now as they seek to compromise the in- dividual problems which stand be- tween the Western countries and full co-operation,

French Proposal Betters European Outlook.isClaim

PARIS. May 15 - (AP) - hiance's proposal to put her own coal and steel under a joint man- agement with west German-y's has changed the political and economic picture in Europe radically - and evidently for the better.

West Germany's Chancellor, Konradgiricnauer. pledged in a political speech at Dortmund ast- urday that the Germans will oo- operate "with all our strength and as fast as possible." He said French and German technicians will meet soon to discuss technical details of the proposal.

It has eased the disputes between France and West Germany over the Sea! coal basin.

For both West Genmany and France. it offers mutual aid in solving unampl ant and recon- stnuctlon problems.

If the plan works as France

hopes, -both Wat Germany and France will be seeking a larger share of world markets, aided by lower prices. France hopes Britain and other countries will come into the program. (Reuters News Agency said un- official talks with Russian repre- sentatives have taken place in Paris on the French coal-steel pool- ing plan. It was learned that the Russian reaction was not flatly hostile

(The authors of the plan estim- ate the united coal resources for a European pool at 514,000,000 tons. against 440909.000 for the United States and 260il)0,(I)0 tons for Russia-

2. nteblishment of a contrib- utory ' scheme with gra- duated contributions and bene- fits. to supplement the basic

4. Increase in the basic pen- sion by a productivity bonus of two-per-cent annually on a cumulative basis.

Jean Lessee (L - ldoabwy - L'Islet). committee chairman. laid a to-a-month pension would mean some 66-year-old couples would be drawing more money than they had. ever earned in their working life.

"I think it would be a great credit to the Canadian people Ind Government if we could lift these people out of the morass they have been in," replied Pat. Conroy. 0.0.- L. secretary-treasurer, who ap- peared before the committee as witness.

To raise the estimated &00.- 000.4110 the 0. C. L. brief suggested putting taxes back on cooperation incomes: an increase in personal income tax and a lowerlm of the exemption.

Mr. Gcnroy estimated "vigorous and favorable" reaction was probable from those in the higher lncoine brackets. '

However avsrsga tawanrs agreed with the Government that "if were going to give a decent pen- siop to the and people we must be prepared to pay for it."

New Government Bond-Selling Drive lauruhed

OTTAWA. May 15 -(.Monday)- (OP)-lPina.nce Minister Abbott bo- d-sy launched a. s74s,ooo.ooo gov- ernment bond-selling drive. to finance the biggest refunding op- eration eyer imdertakcn in gov- ernment history.

Rbquired to Fly off debts so- oumulated before and during the second World War. the refunding operation will make availcible to the general public two varieties of investment M- a long-term is- sue. the other short-at rates slightly lower than those the gov- ernment has paid in previous years.

Available in denominations of 3500. SLCIJO, 55.000. 825.00) and 5100.000. the long-term bond issue will run for 18 years at 2 3-4 per cent interest, maturing June 15,

lowing a Czech ejection of about 1968

40 U. B. diplomats last week. will send an estimated :u out of the 30 Czech representatives horne- wardl "within a reasonable time."

The Prague Government was ordered to close its consulates in Pittsburgh and Cleveland. leaving only the Washington embassy and the New York consulate. which will operate at a reduced level.

rurihermore, the state dpart- ment declared in s coldly angry statement "this government is examining the situation not only with respect to the present but also for the future"-a clear hint of possible further moves against the Czechs.

The action was announced by the state Department as the lat- est in a series of clashes with the Eastern European state which. in its pre-Communist days was close- ly tied to the United 'stam in friendship and trade.

Previously "the United States had closed the Czech consulate at Chicago after the Czech Govern- ment hnd cracked down on the United States information service offices at Prague and Bratislava and forced the recall of Joseph C. Knlarelr, American Press attache.

The Czech Government made the usual charges of my activities on the part of the United states. which hotly denied them.

The offices of the British In- formation Service and the Brit- ish Council in Prague closed sat- urday following orders from the Czech Government. The Czechs accused Britain of using them and the BBC for activities hostile to Oaechoslovakis.

German press reports of that meeting said some Communist leaders demanded that the party pursue a policy in the interest of the German people, rather than of Russia.
