NAZI SCHEMES

ENORMOUS TRANSFERS OF POPULATION OCCUPATION OF INVADED TERRITORY. JEWS AND POLES AS HELOTS. NEW YORK, November 9. The Berlin correspondent of the “New York Times,” Mr Tolischus, says that the German reorganisation of the “East room,” comprising a share of conquered Poland, involves the greatest reshuffle of populations in modern history. It provides for drastic shifts of political and ethnographical frontiers and also racial concentrations according to Nazi theories which it is announced will reduce the Jews and Poles to helots of the German master race. The latest reports indicate that Warsaw will not be rebuilt, but that Cracow will be the new capital, demonstrating the orientation of the German areas and the complete divorce from Russia. The outlines of the new order are appearing plainly under ruthless operations called “reconstruction and Germanisation,” the latter being the most spectacular aspect, the methods of treating the populations having already set entire Eastern Europe awhirl. If adopted elsewhere they may have startling consequences.

Scattered German colonies in Eastern Europe and from the Italian Tyrol are being recalled to settle the annexed provinces, while the Poles are being pushed into Poland proper. The Jews in Poland, Germany has slated for concentration in a special reservation. The Ukrainians and White Russians in German Poland are being exchanged for Germans in the Russian areas. There is a move to mobilise another asset, namelj’ racial comrades in other countries whose personal assets can now be utilised in the service of foreign trade.
