GERMANY IMPORTS FARM LABOUR
■ ♦ Workers From Many Countries DIFFICULTY OF EXCHANGE LIMITS NUMBERS (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION COPYRIGHT.) (Received January 18, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, January 17. The Berlin correspondent of the ■‘Daily Telegraph” says that in addition to the 30,000 Italian farm workers who will arrive soon under an eight months’ contract, more than 170,000 farm workers are coming from many countries, including Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Austria, and Holland. Dr. Friedrich Syrup, president of the labour exchanges, in reply to man-/ questionings why there was to be such an enormous influx, declared that because of the lack of farm workers, many more would have been invited if exchange difficulties had not existed. Already the Government must arrange for £6,000,000 to leave Germany as the amount of wages the workers will take home.
