SURINAM’S DEFENCE
U.S. AID NECESSARY CHECKMATE TO HITLER (Reed. Nov. 26, 10 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 25. Dr. Gerbrandy, broadcasting to the Dutch people, said that co-operation in Surinam (Dutch Guiana), was necessary because the insidious, treacherous tentacles of Hitler and his accessories reached out everywhere, especially in South America, to find out weak spots. He added that the arrangement for American military co-operation in Surinam did not touch the absolute sovereignty of the Netherlands. Military co-operation would cease when there was no longer any danger.
According to a message from Washington, Senator T. Connally, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, expressing approval of the Surinam expedition, said: “I think we shall have to take over Martinique and French Guiana also if the Vichy Government continues to succumb to Nazi influence.”
