DAILY AFFRAYS
ON THE SIEGFRIED LINE BETWEEN NAZI AUTHORITIES AND PEASANTRY. WORK FAR FROM COMPLETE. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) LONDON, March 3. The “Daily Telegraph’s” Cologne correspondent says 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 half a million 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 the farmers at bargain prices quantities of concrete intended for fortifications led the military authorities to take over the construction of the Siegfried Line, which is far from completion and is not comparable with the Maginot Line in strength.
