(Rec. 2 p.m.) LONDON, October 30.

"The German in Poland is lord, and the Pole is only his serf. Those declining: to accept this ruling1 will have to put up with the consequences."

According to Polish circles in London, this statement was made by Gauleiter Greiser when addressing Nazi Party leaders at Poznan. • ■

, The occasion was the second anniversary of the so-called "Wartheland," constituted by Germany from the western provinces of Poland. ;

Greiser continued: "Any Pole daring to raise a hand against a German will 'immediately be destroyed." The principles of German national policy, he said, were based on the separation of the various national groups and the bringing back of every drop of German blood "robbed from the Reich."

Such "principles illustrated the whole o£ the German policy in Eastern Europe. Jewish labour in the Wartheland would be used for building motor roads. •

vGreiser added that 3,000,000 hectares of land in Poland had been allotted to 50,000 German families. ■
