BACK TO THE BALTICS
REPATRIATED GERMANS (Recd. 9.30 p.m.) London, April 5. According to information from Berlin. German authorities have decided to re-repatriate to the Baltic States all or part of the Baltic Germans whom Hitler has personally recalled to the Fatherland since 1939 and used chiefly to colonise the annexed parts of Poland, says the Stockholm correspondent of The Times. The’first returned from German}’ are, it is reported, 50,000 to Lithuania, which is the total number brought from that country. This new reverse movement of population is likely to perplex not only the transportees but the Reich’s Germans, because the propagandists first convinced them that Germany lacked living space, secondly they told them that Germany required additional population, and are now re-exporting them, while German newspapers harn on the necessity for millions more alien labourers for German agriculture.
