BERLIN, Germany, August 49,
THE unsolved problem OF national
minorities provides dangerous finder
for international complications, es-

1t Is the German minorties which
DR.. Prick had in mind The minister
called upon foreign governments to
respect the right Of national MI

minorities-in their territories; he
promised German minorities abroad
the sympathy and help Of the Father
land, and he appealed to them to put
aside the different things which still
divide them, here and there and to
unite In the feeling that they are
one with the Reich.
Task for Those Abroad.
German minorities abroad have the
task, among others, Of building up
connections between the Fatherland
and other countries, Prick said.
The minister said that there are
100000 Germans living abroad
which means he includes 100000
persons who are citizens OF foreign
countries, matter OF especial i'm
portance with reference to Austria
Czechoslovakia, Poland and Lithua
nia-and the United States.
These Germans" play an important
part in NaZi foreign policy. In tactics
they are expected to make foreign
governments think twice before be-
coming involved in serious trouble
with the Reich. In strategy, they
constitute one OF the principal bases
for the Nazi claims that Germany
must have, and Is entitled to have
much more territory
Some Of these Germans" have
been separated from the Fatherlanc

left Germany on their own accord

fend their very existence--is certainly
At least As serious a problem in the
world today as DR.. Prick said 1t was.
1t Is q problem which is growing
more serious rather than less partly
because these "Germans' in some
countries are being subjected to the
most relentless pressure and discrimi-

inspired them with new and more
aggressive German patriotism.
