appointed Regional Commissioner,
/ Emile Bollaert.
NJ Bollaert, who brings TO his
| job the vigor which enables him
/ to endure imprisonment in tho
dread concentration camp OF Bueh-
/ enwald. told the United Press:
THE Alsace question must be
solved once and for all. For years
1t has plagued the two countries.
In less than 100 years, Alsatiahs
have changed nationality FIVE
/ times. Originally French, they were
made TO become Germans when we
lost the war OF 1870. In 1918 Alsace
was French again. In 1910 the
Nazis made Il German and Il re-
verted to French after the liberia
ton"
To Teach German, Too
Each victor outlawed the Ian
guage OF the country which lost.
NJ. Bollaert will break all prece-
dent by encouraging the study OF
both French and German.
From now on both languages
will be taught in the schools" he
said. This will aid Alsatians TO
> serve as Intermediates between
French and German culture. They
could also serve as leaders OF a
new German youth in the French
occupation zone. They know Ger
mans and would do an efficient
job"
During the last occupation the
Germans not only forbade the
teaching OF French and destroyed
the French schoolbooks, but shot
anybody who spoke French. They
went so far as to paint out every
French sign. even trademarks of
French manufactured equipment in
the sewers. They deported all

ties with France and young Alsa-

to make the same mistake as the
Germans.
