Eventual Uprising
Against Nazis Seen
By Prince Bernhard
Hopes 1t Won't Be
Too EorIy and JuIionu
Mods Agreement
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Will the conquered peoples of Eu
rope rise in revolt against their
Nazi conquerers the youthful man
who stood was asked.
We'll, yes-definitely," he said,
and he added: Il sincerely hope they
will not do so too early"
The young woman who sat on the
sofa NODDED agreement to both as
sertions. And she will be Queen of
Holland some day :. if it emerges
again as a free country.
Crown Princess Juliana and her
consort, Prince Bernhard, were hold
ing a press conference today at the
Netherlands Legation, and the
Prince, who made a surprise flight
from England to Canada the other
day to visit his wife and children,
refugees in Ottawa, proved a candid
spokesman for his exiled govern
ment.
Neither has any doubt of the
eventual triumph of Britain and the
free people, and the comely Prin-
cess, Queen Wilhelmina's daughter,
cool in figured dress of light blue
and gray, seemed confident that one
day she will go back to The Hague
and in time to the throne the fates
cast her to occupy.
1000 Per Cent Dutchman.
DR.. A. Loudon. the Netherlands
Minister, who stood beside the
Prince throughout the interview
wanted to make sure no one doubted
Bernhard's loyalty to Holland, de-
spite his German birth.
press, that he was born in Ger
many. But he is a 100 per cent
Dutchman-I could say 1000 per
cent. And I might add that he
could well serve as model for
some Dutch"
Prince Bernhard, on his first visit
to Washington since the war-the
Crown Princess was here six months
ago-bore out this view in every
thing he said. There was not
shred of comfort for the Nazis in
any comment.
! Asked where he learned his flaw
less English, the Prince explained:
"It was my first language An Eng
lish governess. I didn't learn Ger
man until I was about s."
Since the Germans took the Low
Countries, the Prince has been in
London serving as aide to Queen
Wilhelmina in the exiled govern
ment.
Food Rigidly Rationed.
| The word from Holland, he re-
ported, was that the Nazis had
| placed the Dutch under rigid ra-
tioning of food and other necessi-
ties. A half pound of potatoes per
| person week was an example
restrictions which had made a
weakening diet.
They have confiscated coal and
lubricating OIL" he said, even
searching private homes for it,"
The press suppressed and con-
trolled, curfew laws, all the other
repressive measures of the other
conquered lands have befallen Hol-
land, he added.
Asked if there was any antipathy
toward England because of the
blockade, Prince Bernhard said /:
None at all Before the invasion
the people were neither British
nor pro-Nazi. After the invasion, at
first there was some feeling against

W ar Costs Half
Briton's Income
Government Now Taking
60 Per Cent of National
Turnover, Expert Says.

WASHINGTON.-The British gov
eminent is now taking nearly 60 per
cent of the national income Of the
United Kingdom, and about so per
cent Of it for war expenditures, ac-
cording to a review by Thomas r.
Wilson Of the European section Of
the finance division, department Of
commerce, made public.
British tax returns are eight times
as great as at the outbreak Of the
World war, the review states. The
basic rate of British income tax is
now 42.5 per cent, the highest in the
nations history, and the excess
profits tax is in many cases 100 per
cent. The British government pays
from Is to 3 per cent for the money
1t borrows.
A per cent rate is paid by the
British treasury on seven-year ma
tional defense bonds and SIT per
cent rate on 10-year national savings
certificates not subject to income
tax and cashable on short notice.
A few months ago the British gov
eminent foated a seven-year war
loan at 2h per cent.

most overnight a splendid Infan-

task, but with the whole-hearted
cooperation and enthusiasm of all
concerned, the change was success
fully made. The 92nd Brigade was
withdrawn from the Fourth Army
maneuvers scheduled to be held in
the vicinity of Camp Ripley, Aug
ust 4-24, and was ordered to par
ticipate in a period of intensive
field training at Fort Ripley, July
7-27. In order to provide a corps
of instructors and the necessary
equipment, a composite battalion
of the 61st (AA) and of the Reg
ular Army from Fort Sheridan,
Illinois, trained with the Brigade.
In addition, forty-five officers of
the 101st underwent a course in
basic training at Fort Sheridan

Revival: Certain stories, told as
truth, but which never can be traced
to source-the dead man in the SUBJ
way, the little old woman who dis
appeared are well-known examples
periodically bob up in New York.
The latest to make its reappear-
ance is the woman who bought the
39-cent string of pearls in depart
ment store basement. When she got
home, she found the catch broken
and took it to her own jeweler for
repairs. He informed her the pearls
were worth at least $1,000 When
she had recovered sufficiently, she
took them back to the store. The
clerks thought she was crazy but
eventually she reached the store
head. From him, she learned that
the pearls were worth much more
than $4,000. Evidently his wife had
dropped them in the basement and
a clerk had put them on the counter.
The woman received a heavy re-
ward. That's the gist of the yarn
but good story-teller can 60 on for
half an hour.
Vanished! A young woman, whose
research work causes her to make
frequent calls to the information de-
partment of the New York Times,
asked a question that couldn't be an
swered at once. The man who took
the inquiry said he'd call back the
next day. Days passed and the
young woman didn't get her infor-
nation. So she made an investiga-
ton and learned that for con-
venience, her telephone number had
been written on the wall of the phone
booth. And painters had come in
one forenoon and painted the booth.

dy" appeared in the local markets.
