NORWEGIAN TEACHERS
FEW CO-OPERATING
WITH NAZIS
(Rec. 12.20 p.m.) RUGBY. May 15,
Five Norwegian school teachers who escaped to England say lhat only 2 per cent, of 15,000 teachers in Norway are co-operating with the Nazis despite such pressure as the concentration camps and the hell-ship Skjerstad. There have been a thousand arrests.
As a rule, the Germans keep in the background and operate through the Quisling Government. • For example, the "Fuhrer's" new version of the Fifth Commandment, "Honour thy father and thy mother, and above all the Fuhrer" is probably intended to refer to Quisling rather than to Hitler. At a school near Trondheim a photograph of Quisling which -was hung in a classroom was torn down. Another was hung, only to have the word "Cain" scrawled across it. The children stand unitedly behind the teachers.—B.O.W.
