GERMANY & LATVIA
REPATRIATION TREATY SIGNED WITHDRAWAL OF GERMAN MINORITY. SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES POSSIBLE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.55 a.m.) RIGA, October 30. Latvia and Germany have signed a treaty repatriating Latvia's German minority, who will, it is presumed, bo settled in new Reich territory, with others from the Baltic States. This decision has surprised Germans as much as .Latvians and may precipitate a crisis in this Soviet-protected nation. The repatriation removes the surviving remnants of the big landowners and takes from the cities business people and professional classes whose influence in Latvia’s economic life is far greater than their numbers would indicate. The treaty involves a greater transfer of wealth.
