THE REQISTEll-GUABP. SUGZNE. OKIG01C
Fifth Column Said
Downer Of France-
(CONTINUED FKOM PACE 1)
(ind certainly not pro-German),
they were hostile to the third re
public; many had come to believe
that an authoritarian regime like
that of Italy and Germany was
really preferable. It would, they
thought, lave the position of the
privileged classes; and really save
France from the disagreeable ne
cessity of defending itself. If there
was to be a war, then let it be
against the bolsheviks. In other
words, at least half and perhaps
the majority of Influential French
citizens had come to believe what
Hitler wanted them to believe,
How had Hitler accomplished
this? By patient activity. For years
his agents in France, Friedrich
Sieburg the author, Otto Abetz,
"pro-French" consuls like Nolde,
many others, had "worked" the
French leaders. When necessary
they were assisted by beautiful
women: The Baroness von Einem,
the Princess von Hohenlohe and
others of lesser brilliance. They
"got in" with certain of those
leading French women who, at the
moment of defeat, exercised such a
devastating influence on certain
French statesmen. They went
everywhere, sew everybody, came
to knew everything, dipped into
French politics through scanda
lously venal French newspapers.
To the weak and the cynical they
preached defeatism; to the unsuc
cessful, hatred of the jew; to all
the possibility of living on good
terms with Germany it only France
would break relations with the
bolsheviks and "money-minded"
Britons, cease meddling In central
and eastern Europe and propitiate
the Italians by the gift of tome
"unimportant" French territories.
. For years this sort of thing Went
on more oc less In broad daylight.
During the appeasement period the
Germans were actually aided by
certain members of the British
embassy In Paris. Not until two
month before the outbreak of the
war did anyone dare to take ac
tion against the numerous German
agents and then the vacillating
Salidier talked big and did-little.
A hesitant officer class brought
about such defeat for the army,
the army's defeat frightened the
army leaders lest the soldiers seek
eeapegoiti among the general.
And a majority of cynical and
cowardly politicians rushed their
country into one ot the most con
temptible surrenders on record
Just as Adolf Hitler had said they
wouM.
What of Hitler's "fifth column"
In Great Britain? Short ot the su
preme test, It Is impossible to say
for sure. What Is evident is that
during the appeasement period,
the Germans spun a web of
friendship for Nazi Germany
among the guilllble and dissatis
fied members of the ruling class.
It la obviously a triumph In to
proud a country at Britain to have
created even to weak a satellite
part at the British union of fat
dstf. Organisation! like the link,
the Anglo-German fellowship, the
Christian fellowship, duped any
number ot highly placed English
men. Female members of British so
ciety were induced to look kindly
upon Hitler's alms by the flatter
ing attention of handsome young
German aristocrats. British vltl-

The tact that the British polk
found it necessary to arrest a
member of parliament, Captain
Ramsay on the charge ot having
transmitted to the German lega
tion at Dublin treasonable. infor
mation given him by Tyler Kent,
cipher clerk at the American em
bassy in London would teem to
ehow that some of the many
finely-spun threads from Berlin
to the Londoners still remain.
One heart hints of a persistent
"pro Germanism" In the London
city.
But it must be stated emphati
cally that the vast majority of the
British, unlike the r rencn, under
went radical change of heart af
ter It became apparent that Hit
ler had duped Chamberlain at
Munich, althouih there were still
appeasers ready to try to bribe
the nlila to be good with a Hud-eon-Wohlthat
plan lor economic
concessions to Germany. More
over, with British patriotism at
the white hett of today under
threat of Imminent Invasion, the
fate of confessed "fifth column
ists" in Britain would be short
and unenviable.
Thlt time the BriUsh police
were prepared for the war. At the
opening of hostilities they jailed
some 400 of the best German
agents. Later raids tended to show
that the backbone of the orgenlta
tion was broken then. The Invol
untary confinement of over
thousand Britishers, mostly fol
lowers of Mosley, further cleared
the air.
All In all, foreigners in Britain
have the impression that the sev
eral branches of the very compe
tent British police are masters of
the situation, and that the Brit
ish soul was never really tainted
by nazl propaganda. Everyone
listens to Lord Hawhaw but his
words arouse more laughter than
belief. A nation that faces mortal
peril with the grim joke: "well,
at least Britain has reached the
finals!" seems sound.
Nonetheless, many foreigners
believe that if the worst should
happen and an invasion of Brit
ain occur, some positive and hith
erto unrevealed fruits of Hit
ler's propaganda would appear in
the shape of a not entirely insigni
ficant Briisht 'fifth column' which
like the French, would find nu
merous reasons why Britain
should rather "come to terms"
with Hitler than continue tingle
handed a desperate struggle the
outcome of which is bound to Con
tain tome social change. Whether
such a "fifth1 column" could at in
France come to tupreme power it
quite another story.

bags that night when the order
came to pack up-In' live minutes.
This was done, to the tune of
much grumbling. Our designation
was the Nisqually river, which
was reached after a three-hour
march. It was to cold and foggy
that any sleep was impossible
since our bed rolls had not been
brought up. Several "enemy" ps
troll were reported seen, but
there was no actual fighting. That
day, Thursday, was spent in cat
napping, running to cover when
airplanes appeared, and hiking
back and forth between two dif
terent positions a mile apart, five
different times. We moved again
that night, this time by truck to
the town of McKenna which was
In a central position on a de
fense line about 50 miles long.
It was the job of the 188th to
defend three bridges as long at
possible, and then blow them Up,
When a bridge was blown up, it
was counted out of commission for
IS hours. Friday morning the
first contact was made with the
enemy when it tried to cross the
bridge, but they were repelled by
machine guns. The bridge was de
fended until 3:30 Friday, when
it wat considered prudent to blow
It up. When the enemy finally
broke through with Its Cavalry
the defenders had retreated to a
new defense line 'about a mile
back. We lost about 100 men in
prisoners In this action. Fighting
thlt evening was of a guerilla
type and more than once there
wat serious hand-to-hand fighting.
Until the armistice Saturday,
our Red army fought a steady
battle of retreat, with the enemy
outnumbering us by 10,000 troops.
During the five days, actual
battle conditions were prevalent,
eating timet varied and far be
tween, and many times we had to
eat "dog biscuits" (hard tack)
and "dog food hash." The total
amount of sleep probably would
not have exceeded 10 heurt dur
ing (he entire five days.
