BY HAROLD L. ICKES,

fWritten for the Associated Press and
The Starr
Napoleon, who knew what there
was to know about war, once re-
marked that an enemy is never
beaten until he is convinced that he
is beaten. Our aim is not only to
knock the life out of the "Japanazi'
hordes, but also to brand in their
memories for eternity the knowledge
that they have been humiliated, de-
feated and crushed.
A glimmering of the harsh truth
Is already dawning upon them
Already Goebbels, the professional
liar, is whining about "the hardness
OF the war" When our soldiers and
airmen get through with him he will
really know what hardness is.
Hitler's friends, the Japanese,
thought that they would frighten us
by brutally numbering our airmen
who fell into their hands. But the
murderers have only hardened our
determination to crush them and to
cleanse the earth of their foul pres
ence. The day of justice and retri-
button is coming.
In the meantime, our fighting men
need our help-not just encourage
ment and hand clapping. Nice
words don't win battles. Now, a.
never before, money is the sinews OF
war. Without money we can pro-
duce no tanks or planes or ships OF
guns or any Of the other weapon,
with which to make the Axis re-
member forever what Gen. Sherman

Netherlands Officials
Urge Dutch Veterans
To Resist Internment
100000 Ex-SoIdiers S.
Ordered to Prison
Comps by Germans
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 3o.-The Neither
lands government in London ap-
pealed today to former members OF
the Dutch armed forces in the Meth
erlands to resist internment ordered
by German occupation authorities.
Don't register" the men were told
In a broadcast over Radio Orange
Keep quiet. Disregard all orders
and DEGREES.
This Is the advice the Neither
lands government gives you. Dis
regard summonses. Try to make
yourselves unfindable."
Some 400, 900 veterans Of Hollands
army are involved.
Oficers and men alike, interned
after Holland capitulated in May
1910, and later released on Adolf
Hitler's orders, have been COM
manded to report at once for return
to war prisoner camps, the Berlin
radio announced last night.
The order was issued by Gen
Friedrich Christensen, commander
of German forces in Holland, who
last May sent back to prison camps
In Germany 1000 Netherlands
officers on charges that they had
shown hostility to Germany.
Drastic Penalties Threatened.
The Berlin broadcast, explaining
the newest decree, said "the German
military commander Of the Neither
lands pointed out that the Fuehrer,
when ordering the release OF Dutch
war prisoners, had naturally ex-
pected that they would refrain from
anti German activities.
when it was seen that this was
not always the case, officers were re-
interned in 1912. This had been in
tended as a warning. Since this
warning was ignored by some peo-
pie. more drastic measures had to
be taken.
Former war prisoners who fail to
report to the German authorities
as well as people who hide wal
prisoners, are threatened with drss-
tic penalties"
From Dutch sources came woro
that hundreds, perhaps even thou
sands, of Dutch veterans had dis
appeared in anticipation of the de-
cree. With them had gone many
students fearing conscription for la
bor service, it was said.
Anti-Nazi Resistance Increased.
The Netherlands sources said that
since the reinternmen< of the Of
ficers last year, anti-Nazi resistance
has increased, with shooting OF
leading Dutch Nazis, sabotage anc
widespread passive non-co-opera-
ton.
The decree came less than a week
