ize the plebiscite in Upper Sllesia
Germany received heavy majority Of
The total vote but it came from the
larger towns and ceuters of popula-

principally in the villages and among
agricultural groups. ana the conten-
ton has arisen as to whether the re-
turns shall be interpreted by the whole
majority or by village and group units
Various factors contributed TO the Ger

Poland won the plebiscite so many
Polish employees voted IN favor Of
Germany through fear of losing their
