POLISH MINORITY
POSITION IN GERMANY NOTABLY WORSE PROTEST TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. ECONOMIC AND RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION LONDON, June.B. The Berlin correspondent of “The Times” says that if the Czech Government has not succeeded in satisfying the needs of the 3,500,000 Sudeten Germans, neither has the German Government succeeded in creating a contented minority but of the 1,500,000 Poles in Germany.. This is made clear in a memorandum presented to the Reich Minister of the Interior, Dr Willi Frick, by the League of Poles in Germany protesting against the cultural, economic and religious discrimination under which it is claimed the Polish minority still ' • suffers. The memorandum says the position of the Poles since Herr Hitler’s declaration last year respecting Polish . minority rights has not improved. On the contrary it is notably worse. : The Poles are unable to obtain work unless they belong to the German Labour Front. The Poles are also constantly pressed to join German political organisations. They are not in a ■ ' position to participate in municipal public life, to which they have no access either through voting or through ' representatives.
