A PRO-GERMAN PLOT
French police discovered and destroyed a plot to establish a new proGerman Government in Alsace and Lorraine, according to "Le Journal" of Paris. .Members of this provisional Government with Nazi sympathies had been already designated and gauleiters —Nazi district political leaders—had been appointed. First suspicions of the seriousness of the plot were, aroused when the notorious autonomist agitator, Dr. Roos, was arrested last February As details came to light, one by one, further arrests were made in autonomist circles, where dangerous spies and innocent enthusiasts of Alsatian culture mix. The last step was the arrest of two deputies, Joseph Rosse and Marcel Sturmel, who lost Parliamentary immunity at the end of the session.
