NATIONALS
RENEWED HUNTING
OF BALTIC


ACCORDING to information re-
ceived from Poland tie last Eston-
ians, Latvians and Lithuanians in
the country are now being rounded
up. These Baltic nationals were
swept to Poland in 1914 on their
flight before the advancing Red
Army.
Three months ago notices were
posted up in Danzig, Gdynia, Zop-
pot and elsewhere ordering all the
Baltic nationals to register them
selves at the UP (political police,
for transport to their homelands.
Such registering orders have beer
issued at least ten times before,
but this time they were coupled
with the threat that Poles housing
Baltic nationals without police au-
thorization would be fined up to
10000 zloty.
UP, the political police in present
day Poland, is the instrument where
by the Russians rule the Polish
people. It has multitudes of Rus
SLAMS on it's staff, who wear either
civilian clothes or Polish uniform.
AS the Polish patriotic organizations
have to a certain extent infiltrated
the UP, the project of the authori-
ties to catch the last Baltic nationals
in the country was disclosed before
it could be put into operation. From
the same source it became known
that the Balts would not be sent
home but to Kazakhstan where one
of the largest Soviet convict camps
is situated. New industries have
been established i'm that territory
and they require a perpetual sup.
ply of fresh labor.
The vast majority of the Poles
hate the present camouflaged Rus
( sian regime and are waiting for
deliverance from outside. Condi-
tions in the country are highly un-
stable, the people have not the
slightest feeling of security. Specu-
lation and the black market are
! flourishing. There is class OF
prosperous and well-dressed "neW
rich", particularly set off by the
abject poverty and misery in which
most of the citizens drag on theil
| sino in Zoppot is again permitted
and there are a number of luxurious
night clubs at this watering place
The food situation is getting more
difficult from day to day. Brighten
ed by high fines, the peasants ne
longer dare offer their produce fol
