MILLIONS UPROOTED
HUGE PROBLEM AFTER WAR
LONDON, November 22,
More than 30,000,000 people have been transplanted or torn from their homes since the outbreak of war, says Mr. Eugene M. Kulischer in a book written for the International Labour Office. This huge total, Mr. Kulischer adds, does not include all the people of Europe who are.now living away from their pre-war homes, the millions in the enemy armed forces who are stationed abroad, war prisoners, or the millions of Italian and German refugees who during last year fled or were evacuated from heavily-bombed cities. Jews wh& have been uprooted from their homes may total more than 4,000,000. Foreign labour employed in Germany, according to the writer's latest knowledge, includes 1,300,000 Poles, 800,000 French civilians, 1,100,000 French war prisoners, 1,500,000 Russian civilians, 500,000 Russian war prisoners, and 350,000 Italian civilians. When they come to be repatriated after the war, uprooted people will have to .be fed, clothed, and medically treated. Stoppage of the German war machine will deprive millions of war prisoners and imported workers of employment, presenting a problem the solution of which is beyond the powers of any single country.
