POST-WAR RESTORATION
RIGHTS OF THE POLES
QUESTIONS IN COMMONS
(British Official Wireless.) (Received February 8, 11.30 a.m.) RUGBY, February 7. The Foreign Under-Secretary, Mr, Butler, was asked by a questioner i« Jh~ House of Commons if, without prejudice to an ultimate peace settlement, he would state whether those, parts of Poland, ethnographically Polish, from which Poles were being cruelly removed would be as effectively repopulated by Poles who wished to return, to .their homes when the war was won. , "It has already been stated by |sri» tain," said Mr. Butler, in reply, "that one of the objects for which we are fighting is to vindicate the rights of the Polish people to an independent national existence and to right the wrongs which have been done them. I cannot make a more explicit state* ment at the moment." The questioner then asked: "Will Mr. Butler see that the statement gets the utmost publicity, in Germany* in view of the fact that it is reported in v the Press that 100,000 families are about to be imported into Poland from Germany."
Mr. Butler replied in the affirmative.
