There are 2,000,000 Jews now residing in the part of Poland known as the Government General, reports Otto Kreig, a Nazi writer, in an article in Die Woche, German weekly, reaching here today.
“Where chaos existed eighteen months ago, there is now order. The Jews have been taught tidiness and the Poles are working willingly,” Kreig writes.
Kreig’s article is but one of scores seeking to pacify the restless Poles by convincing them of the permanency of German occupation. The Nazis are advertising a ten-year plan of reconstruction stressing the development of agriculture. The Government General plans to construct many new buildings in Cracow, including a railway station.
