Germans lloollnoil To Surrender Channel Islands

Enemy N117; Agency Says Canadian Officer Sought To Discuss Terms.

LONDON. Sept. 2e - (or Cable) — Thr German News Agency clai- med tdhl-y that a Canadian army mfllflr “who also is a member of the Canadian Parliament,” attcm - wd to obtain the surrender of r e channel Islands yesterday,

The Agency said a German speed. boat met the Canadian major, who Was on a British warship, and ma; the speedboat then sent a radio mes- sage to the Channel Islands com- mander saving the Canadian major wanted to discuss the military sit- uation with him.

The agency added that the com- mandcrs rcpl" was that he must decline the meeting.

The Channel Islands, eff the west coast of the Cherbourg Pen- ill-Hula. have been under German control since 1940.

Mal- Alan Chambers, Liberal member of parliament for Nanwmo COR-iutllehfiy. may have been ihe officer who attempted u; bring allfivt the surrender of the Chan- nel Islands.

So far as it is known Maj. Cham- bers. attached to lst Canadian Ar- my headquarters, and Maj. Hughes LaPolnte, Liberal member for Int- binlere. are the only members of Parliament in the battle area. As a staff officer, Maj. Chambers, who served with the lst Canadian div- ision in Italy before receiving his present appointment, could be cal- lcd upon to make arrangements with the Germans.

Mai. LaPoihte. son of the late Justice Minister, Rt. Hon Ernest LaPointe, was last reported serving w.th a.‘ cembattant unit and it is not believed he would enter into any negotiations with the Channel Is- lands garrison.

Touches 0ft Debate

Irvine House of Lords a sharp but inconclusive debate was touched off by Lord Vansittart, leading Brit- ish exponent of a hard peace for Germany. who demanded to know “who is going to occupy what" in a defeated Reich, and suggested that a no-fraternizaticn order to be issued to all Allied troops in Germany.

He urged that it can be made clear “we entered Germany, not as friends. but as conquerors, bent on reducing the German nation to sufficient spiritual humiliation and mill ary impotence to make it im- possible for them to behave in the same way again."

Lord Crnnborne, government lead- er in the House of Lords, replied that the hrltsh government could riot make a unilateral answer without

eruments, but that the Allied aim was “not a slave world," even though "we cannot hold the Gannon people (as contrasted with the Nazis) en- tircly izulltless for these continued aggressions."

Lord Selborne, Minister of Econ- omic Warfare, announced that oven after Germany's defeat the govern- ment would continue the blacklist "against thousands of flmis in neu- tral countries" as a means of con- trolling German commerce and hit- ting those who shield German pro- perty abroad pricier the 1039 trad- ing-wlth-theenemy act.

Taboo Different View

Lord Strabolgi, s Labor party lender. and the bishop of Chlcheaier dlffercd immediately with Lord Vhusittart on the Dost-war treat- ment of Germany.

Lord strnbclgi asserted it was necessary to live with the Germans somehow and that the peace set.- tlement should not be dictated "on- ly by passion and emotion."

Referring to ihotngrnphs of Un- ited States solders in friendly po- ses with German civilians in occup- ied villnges, he said they should be reproduced by the mlllioha and dropped all over Germany in reply to German propaganda that "we are

advancing to murder, rape and destroy." , The blsho of Chlchester argued

that distinc ions had been drawn by Russia's Premier Stalin in 1942 between the Hltlerite State and the Gcnnan people and that the Brit- ish government had endorsed the

War “Situation La; N

By KIRKE L. SIMPSON ‘ (Annotated Press War Analyst]

A curtain o! oileucs drawn by Gen. Eisenhower over Allied open- tloul in the Brabant Gateway area in East Central Holland to North- ern Germany has all but blacked out news from that seething front. It leaves the fate of gallant British "Red Devil” airborne advance units In doubt despite Berlin radio claims of their complete liquidation.

It seems certain.’ however, that Gen. Eiscnhowcrs security move was dictated by other considerations. The cncmy certainly know all about the situation at the Arnhem portal where the British daredevil: have kept I. stubborn toe in the Brabnnt door to the north German

The silence order has some other significance that probably bodes the foe no good. It obviously was intended to deny the enemy knowl- edge of a swift shifting of Allied forces for a concentrated power stroke to end the stalemate in the Netherlands corridor and gcton with the business of smashing the Nazi "west wall" defence

Targets picked for massed heavy ‘ mbcr attacks in Germany tend to bear out that assumption. They included communication hubs of the Nazi supply line for the Netherlands sector of the "west wall" front like Bremen, Humm and Osnabruck. Within that ISO-mile radius east of Arnhem lie the rallyards. road junctions and river crossings through which supplies and reinforcements move up to holster the desperate German effort to stave off an Allied break-through into the

Not many weeks of good fighting weather remain. Berlin broad- casts reflect Nazi hopes of holding out at all costs in the west to await a winter stabilization of the battle lines. The Allie‘ high command in Europe also clearly recognizes that time is running against it; that a and immediate effort is in order in the zvcst if the victories lu France and Belgium are to be fully exploited.

Gen. Eisenhower's call to millions of enslaved foreign workers In Germany to get into action further testifies in his determination to push on before winter. And if he succeeds in cracking through the "west wall" anywhere within the weeks ahead the British force ln the Arnhem are: must be given much of the credit for it.
