"Corrective” Camps
PRAGUE, October 3 (Rec. 10 a.m.). —Czechoslovakia proposes to abolish the old system of forced labour used in the first republic to divert vagabonds into employment and to transfer such people to corrective labour camps established since the new regime came into power last year. A new Bill to enable this to be done will be presented to the National Assembly this month. There are 13 of these camps, each holding about 1000 people. It is estimated that corrective labour camps this year will cost £670,000.
