Holland to Be Nazi SdtietikeState London (JTA )r—German occupation authorities this week told the Dutch people just what their political future i« to be, namely transformation of the Netherlands into a totalitarian satellite state dominated by Benin. This plan was revealed in radio reports of an interview granted the Dutch press liy Herr Hancke, press attache of the Reich commissariat for the Netherlands, in which he asserted that Germany wants to regulate the internal political situation of Holland by concentration of the entire Dutch people in one moyement. . Other reports said that the Nazi authorities h|id seized a home for Jewish invalids at Amsterdam and had converted it into military quarters. The Giestapo is compelling all Jewish shops to display six-pointed Jewish stars to identify them as Semitic enterprises.
