longs to no class. Every person
in his homeland has a whole ac-

to associate with, whose language
he understands and whose inter

have different shades of meaning

Winston Churchill, in a recent
address directed to the Danes,
said in part:
ITO you in the Danish Rests
lance Movement, under the brave
leadership of the Freedom Council
I say this: We know what price
you have paid and are paying for
refusing to be tempted by Nazi
Establishments or cowed by Nazi
threats; we know something of
your achievements in marrying
and wrecking the German war
machine which rolled across your
defenseless frontiers five years
ago. We admire your steadfast-
ness and your skill. Your resis-
lance is valuable contribution
both to the Allied cause and to
the future prosperity of a free

Nov, as the enemy is near de-

we must all stand firm. We must
strengthen our grip to hasten the
end. With cool heads and stout
hearts let us march together to
the victory which will restore the
ancient liberties Of the Danish
people"

Robbers At Work

The Germans are reported to
have demanded the surrender of
the entire Danish butter produc-
ton, pointing out that the German
supplies come first. Previously
they had taken three seventies
of the existing supply. German
confiscation of the Danish coal
reserves have caused new series
of restrictions which will affect
trains, buses, and local transpor-
tation. broadcasting, telephone
communications. hea ting and
lighting. Because of the extreme
cut in heat and electricity, many
industries and business will be
forced to cease production in the
near future. According to the lat
est reports the confiscated fuel
supplies won't be transported to
Germany but will be used for
transportation of troops in Den
mark.
The Danish people fully realize
what the next few months may
bring them, but they are coping
with the present crisis to the best
of their ability and patience. Their

when the power is in the hands
of the people. For us then, de-
mocracy is the only form of gov
eminent which safeguards a free
popular development. But democ-
racy is also the road to social and
economic freedom, goal which
the labor movements seek. The
severe crisis in the early thirties
revealed the weakness of the old
liberal system, and this war has
again taught us how dangerous
this system is to a sound and pop
ular social development. Labor
has to fear only one thing-a split
in the solidarity of the poor. If
this solidarity should be broken
the entire labor movement may
be endangered"
