PROTEST BY POLES
PLEBISCITES BY SOVIET CONQUERED TERRITORY GERMANISATION AIM cßecd. Oct. 24, 9 a.m.) PARIS, Oct. 23. The Paris correspondent of the Exchange Agency says that all Polish diplomatic representatives abroad have protested to the Governments to which they are accredited against the taking of plebiscites in the conquered Polish territory on the question of re-attachment to Russia, declaring that any such procedure is contrary to international law. The Riga correspondent of The Times says the Germans have organised captive Poles and have formed labour gangs, from the 24,000 prisoners of war, for agriculture in Germany, bringing the total to 134,000. Rapid progress is claimed in the Germanisation of the captured territory between Germany and East Prussia. The expulsion of Poles from Gydnia continues.
