The Big Trouble
The one big official difference
between the little democracy and
the big totalitarian regime is over
trade. Unable to dispose Of all her
goods in other markets, Holland is
forced to trade more with Ger
many than she likes. And as a re-
suit of the barter system Germany
owes Holland s2OOOO.OOO payable in
German Goods.
The Dutch government mean

keeps more troops under arms hes
bridges mined for immediate de-
struetion in an emergency. and
watches.
The man in the street, not very
military-minded anyhow, wonders
if any Of these things can nave more
than a psychological effect Offici-
ais themselves acknowledge that
Holland would find it much more
difficult to stay out of war now than
in 1914.
For example, it is pointed out
here, German troops lest several
valuable days then by going com
pletely around the southern tip Of
Holland to enter Belgium. Foreien
military observers doubt that this
would happen again.
If War Comes
If war should come they the
orize, Germany would strife ont
fer a lightning victory The temp
tation would be great. they say to
march through Holland for a short
cut to the North Sea and easy sTik-
ing distance of England In such
an event Hollands comparatively
small army would find it difficult
tc hold the Germans long.
Most military observers consider
Hollands best defense today. as in
ancient times, to be her system Of
river ana canal bikes which per-
NIT flooding large part Of the
country on short notice Under this
plan, the army would retreat be-
hind the inunds ton and try TO
hold out until help came,
That it would net be long in com
ing from Great Britain is taken for
granted by the Dutch.
In these circumstances. Holland
relies on a policy Of strict indepen-
dence. hopes other nations wiz re-
spect it, but prepares TO defend
herself SO far as possible if they
don't.

electrician, book binder, meat
packer, elevator operator, drug

Cantor saw him do some scenes,

before Eddie gives it the final
