MARRIAGE RETRICTION
NAZI DECREE IN POLAND LONDON, May 15. A new German decree that no Polish man under 28 and no woman under 25 may marry is a fresh step in the Nazi plan to reduce the fertility of the Polish nation, reports the Daily Telegraph’s diplomatic correspondent. The decree, which applies in that part of Poland incorporated in the Reich, is supplemented by an order that any illegitimate child born to a woman under 25 shall be immediately placed in a State institution. The mother herself is liable to imprisonment. This decree follows authenticated reports that Polish girls, have already been removed in large numbers to Germany and to countries occupied by German troops.
