The little country called Holland,
or the Netherlands, now suffers
from a foreign foe. Hitler's SOL
diers drove into it, and crushed
the power of the people to run
their own affairs.
Now the Dutch are getting along
as we'll as they can. Reports tell
us they do not like to have Nazi
soldiers around, but they wait and
hope for the day when they again
will have their freedom.
For many years Holland has had
q rich empire. and that empire has
not been taken away. For the most
part it is made up of the Dutch
East Indies. These islands. south
of Asia, are under control of Dutch
officials and of Queen Wilhelmina,
who escaped to Great Britain when
ner country was invaded.
The Dutch East Indies are far
larger than Holland. They contain
eight times as many people and SO
times as much land.
In the Dutch East Indies are the
islands Of Java, Sumatra and Gel
ebes, as well as large parts of Bor-
neo and New Guinea. Besides those
named, there are dozens of other
islands of smaller size.
