FUTURE OF HOLLAND
HITLER DECIDES ON
NAZIFICATION
LONDON, Dec. 13. Admitting that fear of R.A.F. bombs and naval shells had forced him to evacuate certain sections of GermanDutch administrations from the Dutch coast, Dr Seyss-Inquart, in a speech at a Nazi rally in Holland, said that as Reich Commissioner he would remain at The Hague. He also emphasised the necessity for demolishing buildings on the approaches to the German positions. Dr. Seyss-Inquart disclosed that last week, accompanied by Anton Mussert, the Dutch National Socialist leader, he visited Hitler's headquarters, where, after discussion, the Fuhrer settled the principles for the future of Holland as follows:—(1) The Dutch would not be treated as a conquered people; (2) the Dutch must be brought closer to Nazism; and (3) Dutch Nazism, with Mussert as leader, would secure that development. Hitler, .he said, had declared that the future of Holland must await a settlement in Europe, which could be defined only after German staking of the European frontiers. These would have to be extended far from Europe in some quarters. Hitler added: "I am 'thinking of Africa and our gallant southern allies."
