TRY TO JUSTIFY
DEPORTATIONS
Gorman Government Says Idle
Belgians Are Degene
rating
Berlin, Dec. 8, via London. 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

FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 8, 1916.
have become objects of public char
ity. 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.
