The Daily Telegraph's Cologne correspondent says that daily affrays mark the long-standing dispute between the Nazi authorities and the peasantry cultivating areas on the Siegfried Line in the Rhineland.
The introduction of 500,000 labourers will not benefit the local population because the labourers are restricted to their own barracks and canteens, and do not spend money in the villages. Profiteering by civil contractors who sold to fanners at bargain prices quantities of concrete intended for the fortifications, led the military authorities to- take over the construction of the Siegfried Line, which is far from completion and incomparable with the Maginot Line in strength.
