HATE FOR HITLER

“Denmark Must Change” British Official Wireless (Received November 24, 6.30 p.m.) RUGBY, November 23. Light on the German disappointment at the unsatisfactory progress in Denmark of the Nazi plan for a new order in Europe is thrown by articles in the German paper "Nord Schweswigshe Zeitung,.” one of which asks why cannot the Danes express gratitude that the protection of their country has been undertaken by such a powerful military force? The paper says: “It is impossible to understand why the democratic Danes hate everything German. The words ‘in these our country’s dark days’ open almost every Danish meeting. The days would indeed have been dark had the German forces not prevented Denmark from becoming a battlefield. Denmark must change if she is going to occupy her allotted place in the new Europe.” Another article in the same German controlled newspaper says that among the population of Copenhagen a dreadful hate against Hitler and the German troops prevails, it is heard in private conversation in cafes and in the streets when German soldiers pass. The German soldiers rarely understand but gather from the grins on the faces of those present that it is uncomplimentary. Free Fights in Norway The Stockholm correspondent of “The Times” says that Quisling supporters have begun a purge of the Oslo administration with the dismissal and arrest of many leading men, including Adolf Indrebo and J. Sundby, who have both been arrested; Gann, director in chief of meat ente~”rises, and Tryggve Neilson, one of Oslo’s most prominent councillors for many years. Both have been dismissed and may be arrested. Quisling leaders are holding meetings throughout the country, but most are ending in free fights and arrests often accompanied by demonstrations.
