Red Pact Disappoints
Germany, British
Air Chief Says
Cause of Uneusiness in
Reich Sir Kingsley
Wood Declares
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BRISTOL, England, Feb. 10.-Sir
Kingsley Wood asserted today the
Russo German pact was both a po-
litical and material disappointment
to the Reich, and attacked as
"abominable' conditions in Ger
man-occupied Poland.
The air minister, in the sixth Of
a series of ministerial speeches, said
terms of the pact are unknown
outside the Kremlin and the inner
circles of the Nazi party" but are
an uncertain and doubtful bar
gain and the compelling cause Of
uneasiness in Germany"
He said Russian transport diff
culties must have greatly damaged
any hope of Germany obtaining
adequate supplies of oil and raw
materials from Russia.
Two Phases in Methods.
Citing an assertion by the Polish
government -in-exile that $4,000 per-
sons had beer shot in German
occupied Poland, Sir Kingsls.j de-
clared conditions there were far
worse than in Russian-o occupied Po-
land.
German methods in occupied
Poland since September have passed
through two phases" the British
air minister said. They tried first
to terrorize the population by shoot
ing individuals picked up at random
from towns.
I'm Konin, for instance, they de-
cided to shoot IS people and they
collected "a victims and then find
ing they were short one, went into
chemists shop and seized the first
person they found"
He said Germany then decided to
"decimate the natural leaders of
the national movement"
There have. indeed. been cases
OF actual torture. Conditions in
concentration camps are appalling.
Religion is Systematically perse-
cuted," he declared.
He said Britain and France we're
| fighting to end such conditions.
Forces Growing Stronger.
/ OF the fighting forces, Sir Kings
( ley said:
I'VE need not doubt the capacity
OF our fighting services-powerfu
and intrepid forces which are grow
ing stronger every day"
He said British flyers had shot
down many more enemy aircraft
than we have lost" but he gave no
figures.
The air minister announced plac-
ing of s24yO0O,O0O contract in Can
ada for production of aircraft of
the latest type and said plane pro-
duction for the Royal Air Force was
being pressed on a considerable
scale" by Canadian firms.

she commented on the lack of rec
reation facilities. particularly for
the boys, the inadequacy of the food
and the dangers of having boys
stay at the home for several days
before they get physical examina-
tions.
1T did not seem to me that I
would call it good job of trying to
rehabilitate the children" she sum-
married. Every institution for the
care of children should not only
try to give them higher standards
to take away with them. but it
should also give them sense that
if this is what the Government is
doing they have something to be
grateful for, that is the beginning
of faith in democracy. So I felt
very, very seriously troubled over
the Receiving Home"
She recommended the cottage
plan for the Industrial Home School
but added that she had not come
away from that institution as heavy
hearted" as she did from the Re-
ceiving Home.
Speaking generally. she said she
felt conditions in welfare institu-
tions here are more aggravated
than in other comparable cities.
