Promoter Discusses Polish Troops in Allied Roles
The London correspondent notes about 200000 Polish troops serve in British uniforms or under British command. Roughly 100000 in Italy, 15000 to 20000 in the British zone in Germany, and about 70000 in this country. They fought gallantly on the Allied side and airmen proved themselves skilled and intrepid. Negotiations with Warsaw for their return stall, some reluctant to go. An appeal to absorb many by Oversea Dominions and Australia is ready to admit a substantial quota. They would be excellent settlers anywhere.
