RHINELAND'S FUTURE
Part of the French Government and the General Staff, including de Gaulle, are said to favour France’s outright annexation of the Rhineland. According to non-Russian sources which, however, are often well posted on Moscow’s policy, Stalin supports the plan for the Rhineland’s complete separation from Germany, writes a Londoncorrespondent of the “Chicago Sun.” Stalin is described as viewing approvingly a project for giving the lion’s share of the Rhineland to France and smaller slices to Belgium and Holland. Stalin is said also to favour the expulsion of several million Germans from the Rhineland into the Reich and —if France wishes—shipping a minority of Rhinelanders to French colonies.
