GERMAN MINORITIES
REPATRIATION DIFFICULTIES. [by cable —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Recd. October 21, 12.15 p.m.) TALLINN, October 20. Germany has asked Estonia to prolong the repatriation of local Germans until March 31, owing to difficulty in transferring their money and property. Many have decided to stay, rather than abandon their possessions. German farmers have asked for Government protection, in order to remain. The Latvian Government is installing Latvians in abandoned German enterprises. No cash will be transferred from Latvia to Germany. The transfer of property is confined to the limit of the German funds due to Latvia. The majority of Germans have departed. The schools are closed, and the newspapers are ceasing to circulate. Hospital ships are taking invalids. Germans serving in the Latvian Army have been released by decree.
