The German government issued a state ment to-day in explanation and Justifi cation of the transfer of Belgian la borers to Germany. It says the meas ure Is by no means a hardship for the laborers, but Is a social necessity. Owing chiefly to the British em bargo against Belgian's overseas trade, which before the war supported a large part of the Industrial population, large numbers of Belgian workers are Idle, the statement says,, and condi tions are growing worse. Many fam ilies, after spending all their savings "Cello" Boy ScouF Canteens SI.OO GORGAS 10 N. Third St. Penna. Station must do more for you than the other big fellows to get it.

This state of things is not due, as asserted in Belgium, to German re quisitions of raw material, it is ex plained, for these requisitions occur red as a rule only where factories were unable to continue operations. 055,010 Dependent Of 1,200,000 employes engaged in Belgian industries before the war, 505,000, Including 158,000 women arc now wholly without work, and 150,- 000 including 46,000 women are partly without work, making a total of 655,- 000 persons dependent on public aid. In addition to these, there are 293,000 wives and 612,000 children of men without work, so that 1,560,000 per sons, or one-fifth of the total Belgian population, require assistance. More than 300,000.000 francs al ready has been spent in supporting these persons and 20,700,000 francs monthly will be required henceforth. These masses of idle people, the state ment says, are degenerating, and drunkenness and social depravity are resulting. Offered I Profitable Work The statement goes on to say that the labor situation in Belgium has grown worse and that conditions are now such as to necessitate imp ove ment; hence the ordinances must be enforced more vigorously in order to relieve the situation. 'Before compul sory transport, however, every idle person is offered the opportunity vol untarily to accept profitable work on contract and compulsion is resorted to only where the laborer stubbornly re fuses. Workmen coming to Germany are placed on the same footing as Ger mans and are earning higher wages than they ever received in Belgium. Steps have been taken to send part of their earnings to their families in Bel gium. The laborers also are permitted to make regular visits to their homes and families are allowed to accompany them to Germany if that is desired. Provision also is made for religious services in their own language. In view of the circumstances, the statement says, the transportation of workmen to Germany means a consid erable betterment in their position. Inasmuch as hundreds of thousands are being ruined In Belgium, while aged men, women and even children are wearing themselves out with work in Germany, the transportation of Belgians, the statement asserts, is not only a right but a social duty of the German government.
