Hitler, Army Leaders
Reported in Conflict
On War Strategy
Stoff Sees Moeinot Line
Offensive as Suicide
Attempt Dutch Hear
BY M. w. FODOR,


Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
THE HAGUE, Oct. ia most
serious conflict seems to exist be-
tween Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and the
German general staff, according to
reliable reports reaching the Neither
lands.
This conflict is said to have arisen
in connection with future steps
should Hitler's peace offensive" fail.
Hitler wants the general staff to
start an offensive against the
Maginot Line. But the generals be-
lieve this would be courting defeat
and described the plan as suicide
attempt"
Hitler seems to persist and all
signs indicate heavy concentration
of German troops on the 100-mlle
stretch opposite the Maginot Line.
The Germans have evacuated many
buildings in cities near the Dutch
border, converting them into hospi-
tails, which indicates, first, that the
Germans expect heavy casualties
from the coming offensive and, Sec
ond, that the Germans at present
do not wish to attack the Neither
lands. and seek protection for their
hospitals in the shadow of a neutral

Dutch Angry at Britain.

The Dutch, naturally, are not de-
luded, realizing that after all Hitler's
plans may be changed overnight.
They continue preparations for de-
fense, being ready for all eventuali-
ties. At present they are somewhat
angy at.Great Britain, though Dutch
sympathies are definitely with the
democratic countries. Yet the in
efficiency of the British methods Of
cargo contraband examination in
f1ict heavy losses on the Dutch.
1T is eXasperating that some
DutcL cargoes were held up by the
British near Downs for over a month
before even undergoing examination.

spokesman.

If delays due to Contraband in

Dutch public opinion will change.
despite the stanch democratic ideas
entertained by our people. Many
complain already that the allies dis
tinguish between big and small neu-
trails, that while the United States
and Italy escape harsh treatment,
small, helpless neutrals are incon-
venienced.'
Since that Dutch spokesman said
this the British apparently have
started to consider measures to de-
centralize their contraband searches.
But the Dutch continue to be
amazed by many things. While the
British hold up Dutch cargoes. the
Germans offer the Netherlands the
goods of which they themselves
suffer shortages, such as food, tex
tiles and rubber
In the same way the Dutch do
not understand why letters from
Berlin arrive promptly, while let
ters from London and Paris are
delayed. Telephone calls with Ber-
lin can be put through in 20 min
utes and one can easily call Buda-
pest and Bucharest from the Meth
erland via Germany, yet a phone
call to London or Paris is impossible
either for private or business pur-
poses.
