They Never Say Die
Cincinnati Enuuirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer) The stalwart people of Holland even now on the eve of the invasion are laying plans for building armies to be used after the liberation of their home land in carrying out Allied military plans and poli- ces. Dr. Jacobus c. de Beus aide to Premier Pieter S. Gerbrandy of the Netherlands in New York has announced some of the details of this army organization plan
 The Netherlanders foresee the need for four armies One will be used within the home land itself for patrol and police work Another may go toward the occupation of Germany and Dr. de Beus says I've need not have any doubt to the enthusiasm of the Dutch people in regard to that particular task" A third army would be needed in the Far East to wipe out pockets of Japanese resistance which still may continue in the Dutch colonies after their reconquest The fourth will continue the fight against Japan.
 The Netherlands official leaves no doubt as to Hollands intent on that score He declares that his people will battle Nippon with all the forces at their command He apparently feels, and with considerable that the Nipponese armies will fight on from the continent of China, from Man churia and Korea long after the Southern Japanese Empire has been wrested from them The Dutch are willing and ready to accept their full share of sponsbility in this conflict he made plain.
 There is nothing surprising in Dr. de Beuss state ment. It is characteristic of his people that they meet the full implications of every contract While the nation is small with which are linl- ited while has suffered the full weight of German and Japanese invasion, occupation and spoilaton; still, in their misery the Dutch plan for the future And their plans call for carrying their share of a continuing until both Germany and Japan are completely and utterly crushed until the peace finally is made
