SWEEPING DECREE
POLISH INDUSTRIES NATIONALISED MANY ENTERPRISES TAKEN OVER BY STATE (Rec. 12.5 p.m.) WARSAW, Jan. 6. The Polish Parliament to-day, formally nationalising all basic industries, ratified a sweeping decree giving the Government control of every industry employing mere than 50 persons a shift. Enterprises to be taken over by the State include communications, mines, banks, and public utilities. The Minister of Industry, M. Hilary Mine, told Parliament that nationalisation would strengthen the Government, “ for there cannot be political democracy without economic democracy. Polish economy must be freed of cartels and foreign capital.” Parliament also ratified unanimously the IRusSiaii-Polish agreement establishing Poland’s new Eastern Ifrontiers.
