SUDDEN evacuation Of civilians
from Heligoland (D on German
government orders and threats Of
a Danish civil war (2) are project
ing the orth-of-Naziland area in
to the spotlight. Heligoland, just of
the northwest coast Of the German
mainland, is a defensive outpost
for such centers as Hamburg and
Bremen and the Kiel Canal. 1t has
recently been a target for Raj
bombing raids and the Nazi action
may rise from fear that Heligoland
will be an invasion target. Recent
reports indicate that Germans have
taken over control OF the Danish
police and informed many. When
they are completely out of the pic
ture, civil war will begin, say wire

Postwar WQges

That British labor will put up
battle to retain it's wartime wage in
creases in the postwar world was
indicated by the strike Of IA, 900 auto
workers In Birmingham, England,
over assignment of employees to the
assembly of reputed peacetime
product at lower wages than those
being paid in the munitions depart
ment.
Under the stimulus Of wartime
conditions, with manufa cturers bid
ding for labor, British wages shot
up from about SIS week to $25 for
men, and from about $3.50 weekly
to $13 for women.
Because of the competition be-
tween themselves and foreign coun-
tries, however, British industrialists
are expected to resist present high
wages unless production costs are
chopped through an increase in la
Dor efficiency or greater use of ma
chinery.
