POLISH REPRISALS
Methods To Make Huns Respect Human Life THREAT OF HEAVY BOMBING Rec. 10.30 a.m. LONDON, April 2. Two methods of forcing the Germans to respect human life in occupied countries were suggested at a meeting of representatives of all Polish organisations in Britain. It was urged as the first method that Germany be warned that after a certain date the execution of hostage in any occupied country would be followed immediately by destruction from the air of a specified place in Germany and that special Allied squadrons would be held in constant readiness. Secondly, it is suggested that all the German civil and military administrations be warned that they would be held responsible for the safety of civilian populations in all countries under military occupation, and that these officials must treat the populations in strict accordance with the article of the Hague Convention of 1907, failing which the severest punishment would be applied.
