EXPULSION OF JEWS
RETALIATION THREATENED BY POLAND
(U.P.A.—By Electric Telegraph-Copy right) WARSAW. Bth June. Poland has warned Germany that new attempts to expel Jews across the Polish border will result in retaliation. A thousand prominent Germans in Poland are reported to have already been arrested under the threat to Germany if Polish Jews are expelled. Several thousands of Polish Jews have been ordered to leave Germany voluntarily or be taken across the frontier forcibly, a message from Berlin states. The time-limit varies from two to five weeks. The majority are in a dilemma because they have been in Germany so long that they have foregone their Polish citizenship, and they recall the expulsions at the end of October. An earlier message from Warsaw staled that Jews of Polish descent spent the previous night in sheds and railway carriages on the German-Polish frontier —unwanted by Germany and disowned by Poland. The latter country claimed that they forfeited their nationality when they failed to register as Poles during the Nazi roundup last November.
