“SLAVE LABOUR” IN RUSSIA
(Rec. 11.30 p.m.) TOKYO. Dec. 2. Yiyoshi Terashita, staff correspondent of the Japanese newspaper. “Yomiuri Shimbun.” who returned from Russia yesterday estimated that there are more than 30.000,000 in “slave labour camps” in the Soviet Union. Terashita, who was arrested with 12 Japanese journalists on the island of Sakhalin, north of Japan after the war and sentenced for espionage, said that the same estimate was made by fellow Japanese prisoners scattered all over the Soviet Union. He said that one-third of the “Soviet slaves’’ had been arrested for “Un-Russian activities.” Many Japanese had been sentenced as war criminals for such minor offences as stealing a slice of bread.
