FASCIST COUP
FATE OF POLAND? SIGNIFICANT INDICATIONS. (United - Press Association—By Electric Telegraph-—Copyright.) Received November 23, 9.40 a.m. LONDON, Nov. 22. The Daily Herald's correspondent, .Mr Al. Easterman, in a lengthy despatch from Warsaw, says the leaders of the movement make no bones about their intentions to turn Poland into a totalitarian State on the Hitler model, with a full Nazi jirogramme adjusted to suit Polish conditions, even to the destruction of Polish Jewry by mass expulsion and race outlawry. Poland already has its Dr. Goebbels in Colonel Koc, and' behind him is Colonel Miejinski, the personal political friend of Colonel Beck, who is at present Foreign Minister. The army is regarded as safe for the Fascists and bureaucracy. One in seven of the population is certain to line up, and the militarised police force is already in Fascist hands. The mass of the people, deprived of its freedom by edicts, is in the mood for revolt, but is disorganised and slow to act. These are the conditions which the reactionary elements consider ripe for a Fascist coup.
