UNREST:
Taking Substance

The unrest stories from occupied
portions of Europe, which had been
largely couched in general terms,
as though the writer's of the reports,
figuring that the Germans had re-
moved large numbers of guards for
the war with Russia, and had let
their imaginations run riot, now be-
gan to take some real substance.
The stories came from Norway,
from occupied France, and from
within Germany itself, though the
details in the latter had to be
CLEANED from the highly propagan-
died Russian war communicates
and were somewhat discounted
therefore.
The Norwegian story was that the
Quisling government was lettering.
These sources were Swedish news
paper stories, and the Swedes,
though generally unfriendly to the
Axis, were staggering along the
fence of neutrality and so far had
been able to keep their country I'M
invaded. n
The Swedish stories had consid-
cradle detail They told of Quisling
himself doubling and trebling his
bodyguard, and being on the verge
of nervous breakdown; of one of
the cabinet ministers seeking to
take poison and of others who had
been ordered to take "rests" of
three months because of the utter
failure of their several detectives.
The French story also had sub
stance and came from Nazi-capitu-
lated Vichy itself which, throwing
off censorship, announced that the
Paris police were offering a million
|, francs reward for information lead
ing to the arrest of train wreckers
who were menacing the food supply
of the former capital of France.
Those commenting on the dis
patch said it brought to mind the
statement of Petain that he ''felt
an i'll wind rising in many sections
of France" The disorders, at first
blamed in dispatches entirely on
Communists and Jews, brought
from General Stuelpnagel, COM
mander of the German armed
forces, that if the train wrecking
continued, the entire public of
France would be held responsible.
This statement, added to the mil
lion-franc reward story, gave the
unrest almost the tone of a revolu-
ton, and coming on the heels of the
Petain-Darlan-Laval surrender to
the Axis, made some think that per-
haps loyal Frenchmen had been
asked to surrender more than they
would stand for.
