SWIFTLY MOVING OUT
RUSSIANS IN POLAND LAND HANDED BACK (10 a.m.) OTTAWA, Oct. 24. M. Mikolajczyk, deputy Prime Minister of Poland and leader of the Polish delegation to the United Nations’ food and agriculture conference at Quebec, stated that the Russian armies are rapidly leaving Poland. He said the Russians were cultivating 5,000,000 acres of Polish land for their own use, but they had handed back most of it and were keeping only enough to support the remaining Russians. Questioned on the reports that the Russians were looting Poland until the time of the Potsdam Conference, M. Mikolajczyk said the Russian armies treated parts of Poland as German territory as it had been during much of the fighting. He added that it was unlikely after what the Poles had suffered at the Germans’ hands that the German population within the new boundaries could continue to live there.
