Duleh 10 compensate
for Wars Damages
Citizens % - psid;
But MseRs Net Clear

BY LLOYD LBHRDAS
WASHINGTON. Feb. l4-R
The Naxi-dominated Neither
lands government, diplomatic
sources reported here today, has
undertaken to compensate It's
citizens for property damage
suffered In the war.
While no official figures are
yet available, informed esti-
mates are that damage totaling
$500. 900, 900 was done to Dutch
property In the five-day blitz-
krieg last May which smashed
The Netherlands. Private prop
erty losses were placed 1t
$3.50. 900, 900.
The compensation decree pro-
viding for war damage pay
ments made no mention of the
manner in which the govern
ment would raise the necessary
funds required, according to the
authoritative information re-
ceived in diplomatic quarters
here. The program Is believed
the first of its kind in Europe.
Since German authorities are
now in complete control Of all
governmental, financial and
commercial activities, however.
in formed sources said they be-
lieved that the war damage costs
would be paid in Dutch cur
rency and funds obtained from
higher taxes which, In some in
stances, have been increased IS
per cent.
Under Nazi economic practice
both in Germany and in occu-
pied countries, these sources de-
clared, there have been practi-
cally no limitations on the
amount of printing press
money" placed in circulation.
Germany itself has msde a
state secret Of its gold reserve
and no authoritative figures ex-
list on the gold backing" for
the millions Of marks which, are
circulating in Germany and
German-dominated countries.
The Dutch government Il UNI
derstood to have shipped most
of its gold reserve to the United
States and England just before
the Nazi occupation, and there
is no official information on
what amounts may have been
seized by the Germans.
Dutch assets, now frozen" In
the United States, total $1,622,-
100000, including $500, 900, 900
in bullion, currency and time
and demand deposits.
The Nazi-controlled Neither
lands government is now at
tempting to secure all gold or
foreign currency which frugal
Dutchmen have saved, according
to the diplomatic reports re-
ceived here.
- The bank has requisitioned all
banknotes in dollars, Swiss
francs, and Swedish crowns, re-
fusing any exemptions to orders
that they must be turned In for
Dutch currency.
The Netherlands bank is also
obliging all citizens to sell 1t
any gold they, may have, and by
December 20 had reached all
whose names begin with the let
tiers I, J, K, L, and M.
Under the war damages de-
cree the owners will be COM
pensated 100 per cent up to
florins $4,000 approximately
$25, 000), and 30 per cent on
losses over that amount.
Household furniture and ef-
fects will be compensated for
by payment-in-kind coupons.
Payment will be made only
for property of Dutch nationals.
Most Of the damage claims
will be made In Rotterdam,
where q terrific German Dir
bombardment-on the day the
Dutch army surrendered-re-

With Three Exceptions
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The action of the United States in seizng Axis merchant ships evoked impressive demonstration of Pan-American solidarity in the present world crisis. The speed and unanimty with which the Latin American republics followed the lead of the United States reportedly amazed Axis captals-and well it might.
 In the most conclusive display of hemispherc accord since the Pact of Havana was signed last year all but three of the other republics in the New World have concurred with the policy of the United States in the seizure of the Axis vessels. Further more, they concurred with such alacrty to leave little doubt of eyeto-eye agreement with the for egn policy of this nation.
 However, it would be unwise to ignore the sig nificance of the fact that three of the South Amer can republics including the "A" and the "B" of the South American "ABC"-so far have not seen fit to follow policy in the ship seizures. Argen- tina, Brazil, and Uruguay have made move to impound the German Italian merchantmen wltli- in their harbors.
 Whether this reflects a natural hesitancy about automatically subscribing to the policy of foreign nation, indicates unwillngness to provoke the potential directors of European trade after the war, shows a political schsm which mars the otherwise general accord of the Americas remains to be explained by later developments Perhaps all of these elements enter into the stand of the three nations.
 The fact is evident in any event. that there still is room for improvement of relations with South America. And doubtless there is moral to be found in the fact that the United States has been grudging in it's trade concessions with precisely the same three nations have failed to concur in action against Axis merchantmen. The day after the United States seized the Axis vessels in our harbors, the Senate voted. 34 to 29, in favor of provision already approved by the House which pro- hbits Army and Navy purchases of Argentine canned beef and other foreign products This is myopc natonaism to high degree. It does its utmost to establish bridgeheads for Axis penetration of this hemisphere.

 To mark the first anniversary of the German invasion, the Royal Norwegian Government even publishes illustrated volume Norway
 The central fact year after the unprovoked German attack upon peaceful Norway is that Nor way is still formally and actually at with the invader In addition to the millions resisting every Nazi move within Norway many soldiers, sailors and pilots training with the allies, Norwegian war ships fighting side by side with the British and the great Norwegian merchant marine of 4 900 tons of ships and 25O00 sailors is sailing undaunted the to carry supplies to the common battlefronts of the democracies
 AS Mnisher Morgenstierne declared in his "an- niversary' address, We shall stay in this great fight until victory has been won, until we have accomplished rreducible aims; first to clear Norwegian soil of every foreign invader, then to join with friends and allies in muzzlng per- manently the ruthless aggressors which for some time have been running amuck in the world chal- longing the peace, freedom and very existence Of civilized peoples" Y

BULGARIAN MINISTER

For five years, Dimitri Naoumoff has lived in grey stone house over looking Rock Creek Park, comfort ably mingled in the diplomatic cir cle, comfortably watched trade grow between Bulgaria and the United States.
 Ever since Versailles-and before the United States has been friend ly to the aspirations of Bulgaria Though she was on the German side in World War I, American delegates at the peace conference opposed carving western Thrace from Bull garia to give it to Greece.
 A few years ago. American manu- lecturers increased the blending of Turkish tobacco with Virginia, and this meant big exports of Bulgaria s Turkish type tobacco.
 Naoumoff. as Minister to the United States, travelled about the country meeting many of the 90,000 Americans of Bulgarian origin, giv- ing lectures in American colleges, reminding his audiences that there is an American college in Sofia. But all this is over now.
 Today, Naoumoff sits in the draw ing-room of the grey stone house, with the afternoon sun slanting across the red plush furniture, and wonders what Americans think of his country's lineup with the Axis. The prized tobacco trade is gone, and now what will happen to the
