NAZI FEARS

ADMITTED IN HOLLAND PROPOSALS BY HITLER. TASK FOR DUTCH QUISLING. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.35 p.m.) LONDON, December 13. Admitting that fear of R.A.F. bombs and naval shells had forced him to evacuate certain sections of the German Dutch administrations from the Dutch coast, Dr Seyss Inquart, speaking at a Nazi rally in Holland, said that, as Reich Commissioner, he would remain at “The Hague.” He also emphasised the necessity of demolishing buildings on the approaches to German • positions. Seyss Inquart disclosed that last week he accompanied the Dutch Quisling, Mussert, on a visit to Hitler’s headquarters, where, after a discussion, the Fuehrer settled the following principles for the future of Holland: —Firstly, the Dutch would not be treated as a conquered people; secondly, the Dutch must be brought closer to Nazism; thirdly, Dutch Nazism, with Mussert as leader, would secure that development. Hitler declared that the future of Holland must await the settlement .of Europe, “which was definable only after our staking of European frontiers.” These would have to be extended far from Europe in some quarters. Hitler added: “I am thinking of Africa and our gallant southern Allies.”
