CENSUS IN GERMANY
.— ALLEGEDLY INTERESTED AIM WHITTLING DOWN POLISH MINORITY. “ATMOSPHERE OF LIES AND TERROR.” By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. LONDON, May 17. Today is census day throughout Germany. The results will remain long unknown, but it is believed that a special effort is being made to publish the figures of the Polish population speedily. Warsaw affirms that the Polish minority in Germany is 1,500,000, which Germany denies. The population must, in addition to stating their nationality and mother tongue, record their racial conviction, that is, the race to which they feel they belong. The Polish newspaper, “Gazeta Polska.” recalls that Germany protested violently when similar forms for a Czechoslovakian census contained a racial question, “and not without reason, because this supplies the easiest way of suppressing minorities.” Other Polish newspapers say that terror reigns in Polish centres in Germany. They allege that the census is being held in an atmosphere of lies and terror.
