German Cleansing
From the Outside
Demanded by Dutch
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

Complete determination Of the
bad Germany" to make possible
the development of Germany's good
side has been advocated as a post
war aim for the Allies by a large
group in the Netherlands, it was
disclosed yesterday through receipt
here of information on the contents
of recent issues of the Dutch under
ground newspaper, Vrij Nederland
The paper is publishing a num-
Der of articles which reflect, with
a completeness unavailable before,
the views on postwar problems of
the people who have suffered most
from the war-anti-Nazisi inside Eu-
rope. The Allied governments are
expected to take the views of these
persons into serious consideration
when they reach the point where
they can plan for peace.
Urges United Europe.
Vrij Nederland urged as the key
stone of peace the establishment of
united Europe in which consid-
GRAFTON of nationality will be toned
down for the general good of all
the nations in the European COM
munity. The United Europe, the
paper argues, could provide the
legal international order from
whose lack every nation suffered
so severely in the past.
I'm United Europe that is bodily
and mentally healthy the paper
said, 1.-The German disease would
not spread like an epidemic
throughout the entire people with
the dangerous effect witnessed now
In a European community, firm
and fertile in variety, there is a
place also for a differentiated but
essentially united German people,
one among many"
The Dutch want no Crude re-
venge," the Writ Mcfarland writer
said, adding that the Germans
should not labor under the delusion
that they can demand their place
in a new world arrangement when
their war machine is smashed and
others have relieved them of the
tyrannical gang"
"Clean Out the Rogues."
The paper continued:
Europe should be freed from
rogues and homicidal maniacs, and
the German people require COM
plete moral regeneration which can
not proceed in an atmosphere of
sentimental quackery. Saliva
ton and the restoration of order in
Germany will only be possible from
the outside"
Postwar reconstruction must be
left entirely to the United Nations,
another Vrij Nederland article said,
adding:
The economic and temporary
military machinery for controlling
the situation will be available in the
form built up during the war. With
these work can continue. The ex-
perience thus gained will supply
valuable indications on the manner
OF reconstructing a balanced eco
nomic system and power machinery
capable of quelling any future ef-
fort at revolt
Cites Former Conflicts.
Another article in the Vrij Neder-
land on the meaning of the war
and on postwar arrangements COM
pared the present conflict with two
other great past historical crises
and historical changes" the Refor-
nation and the French Revolution,
with two things emphasized then as
now-"discontent with the past, the
desire for better future"
In the Colonial field" the paper
said in analyzing the future, mot
our own needs and dividends come
first, but the needs and rights of
the natives"
The Netherlands government in
London. attempting to keep in close
touch with thought inside the &C.
cupied country. has appointed Jacob
Burger as minister without portfolio
IN the cabinet. Mr.. Burger, 80, lived
under the Nazis in the Netherlands
for three years. He escaped to Eng
