SHORTAGES IN GERMANY
Polish Prisoners To Be Sent Home
PROBLEM OF EVICTED GERMANS IN.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 19. "Half a million Polish former prisoners of war in' Germany will shortly begin to travel homeward at the rate of 4000 daily, following talks in Berlin between General Swierezewski, for Poland, and the British military authorities," says Reuter's correspondent in Berlin. "This, however, will not relieve the food shortage. "British motor-lorries will aid in the land transport of the Poles, and in the middle of October some of the men will be moved by sea. Rail transport is impracticable at present because of war damage, and because the Russians have removed one set of tracks on the main lines in their zone.
“The British zone undoubtedly will have to take some of the Germans evicted from the new Polish territory. Many thousands have already filtered across the boundary at night, in spite of the road blocks.
