It is the story of a German officer who had been billeted in a Netherlands family where an evening party had been organized. He had promised to leave shortly after dinner so that the guests might feel themselves entirely at ease amongst themselves. Instead of doing so, however, he stayed on and on; it wi getting later and later. and the guests realizing that it was going to be a spoiled evening. gradually departed. To the few remaining the officer then said: "I am sorry that I spoiled your party. but you see. I saw that Mrs. So-and-so was there. and I know that she reports everything she hears to the authorities. so I thought it better pot to give her a chance of overhearing any loose talk."
Listeners. do I have to appeal to your common sense? Must I argue at length to convince you that tHere is a minority in Europe. whose members through treachery. cunning and brute force have succeeded in overrunning almost an entire continent. but who, wherever they have arrived have sown nothing but hatred and reaped nothing but contempt? And do you think with the National Sodalists in Holland that this minority has a "great chance" or that it is "probable" that they will conquer us and the rest of Europe?
