Germany disclosed today a
gigantic plan for the permanent
Of European workers
after the German victory"
Under a plan announced by
Chief of Cabinet Biegiebel of the
German labor ministry, the Ger
man government would form a
pool of labor in all European coun-
tries, so that workers, men and
women, might be shifted anywhere
as IL desired.

with It's labor problems indie
pendcntly. Excess of labor will
be obliged TO shift to places
where there Is lack of labor.
Foreign workers must have the
same rights and obligations as
natives, and tho problem of
wages must be solved
PLAN BROADCAST
Surprisingly, the German radio
broadcast the plan, apparently as
another example of brilliant
double -domed Teutonic thought
without realizing its implication
to men and women who would be
torn from their countries and
homes.

work according to plan," Bic

economic power IL would rep

Biegiebels plan came one day
after the Germans in occupied
