THE NAZI PATTERN.

CHANGES IN EUROPE.

DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED

LONDON, Oct. 6. Some of Hitler’s problems ill the conquered lands are discussed in this morning’s issue of a German newspaper which is quoted by an American broadcaster. The paper says that what it calls the German part of Poland is now part of the Greater Reich and that the only problem is one of administration. Norway is a different proposition and will have to be reshaped politically, because it is mentally separated from the Continent. The Nazification of the Norwegians will have to be carried out as a separate scheme. The Norwegians are graciously considered to belong to the Germanic race.

As for Denmark, the Government there, the paper says, has been allowed to remain theoretically in office, “but voices are crying out for a Change of leadership and a change-over from pro-British to pro-German policy.’ Thas, said a London commentator tonight, Denmark may become a partner in the new Nazi Europe and may thereby lose the last pretence ot independence. Holland is admitted by the newspaper to be a different and difficult problem, and the only suggestion made is that great decisions made elsewhere will settle the fate of the Netherlands, “where the people will need a considerable change in ideology.” _ Belgium is given up as a bad job. since it is affected by t'he French spirit, and so for the time, says the Gorman newspaper, it is no use trying to develop a new order there. Luxemburg, like Alsace-Lorraine and Western Poland, is marked out for the honour of inclusion in the Ileich.
