UNDER NAZI RULE
THE BOY SCOUTS All Boy Scout organisations in Nazi-occupied Holland have been I dissolved by order of the German Reich i Commissar, Seyss-Inquart. The Ger - i man authorities point out that the j movement was part of the International I organisation directed from a central 1 headquarters in London. Dutch Boy i Scouts had always been a channel for British influence in the Netherlands. No club, society, of association may i now be founded in Holland without 1 permission of the Nazi authorities. 1 Another Nazi decree concerns the amous "Sokol ' —national sports and athletic organisation in CzechoI Slovakia with a million members. Some time ago, Sokol was forced ito suspend its activities. Many of iis grounds and premises were taken over by the army of occupation. Now the remainder of Sokol’s sports halls and grounds were seized and seal - ed. A number of officials of the Sokol central organisation, as well as members in various parts of the country, was arrested.—(Wallace King, formerIly "Daily Herald" correspondent jn
