BY THE BERLIN RADIO REGARDING KATYN BURIALS. QUESTION OF POLISH NATIONALS IN RUSSIA. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 3. The Berlin radio says a commission consisting of representatives of Belgium, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Croatia, Bulgaria, Moravia, Bohemia, Slovakia, Hungary and Switzerland established the identity of seventy percent of the Polish officers buried at Katyn (near Smolensk). It was disclosed, the radio alleges, that the shooting was carried out in March and April. Seven mass graves have so far been opened and 982 corpses removed and examined.
M. Stanczyk, a Polish welfare officer who is visiting Persia, stated in Teheran: "The best way to avoid present or future misunderstanding would be for Russia to release the 800,000 to 900,000 Poles who are still in Russia against their own Government’s will. A Russian Note handed to the Polish Embassy on January 16 in effect withdrew Russian recognition of Polish nationality for any Poles in Russia, on the ground that the Sikorski Government refused to agree that Jews and Ukrainians who were among the exiles were to be considered Russian nationals.”
