RUSSIA PUNS TO TAKE ONE MILLION flOLES TO SOUTH AMERICA FOR COLONIZATION PURPOSE (By United Press) | ^Washington. Oct. ?. ? Russia is negotiating with South Amerjca re publics for the colonisation of one million Poles in Latin America; 500.000 to be distributed in Vene zuela. Columbia. Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia and the remainder in Argen tine and Chile. This fact was learned by the United Press today on the highest authority. Several months ago a Russian com mission of twelve members visited Washington en route to South Amer ica. They obtained letters of intro duction from John "Barrett, director of the Pan American Union, to South American offr-lals They took spec ial pains to avoid the State Depart ment. The Russian government is pre- 1 pared to subsidize (he colonists, pay ing their tuLwaKca and supplying a small capital to each. Farms will also be equipped and stock purchased for the settlers. Persona in Intimate touch with the situation declare that Russia wishes to totally depopulate Poland, which has always been a thorn in her aide. Shc? would repopulate this territory with North Russians. She also offers large trade inducements to South America to obtain the good will of t)*- governments there and would es tablish banks and steamship lines. The chief concern of the Latin republics is said to be the fear of ali ?n domination politically and coi imercially. They are therefore acilng with hesitancy.
