November 5

1937

On 5th November, 1937, the Polish and German Governments
issued identical declarations concerning the treatment of minorities.
The declaration concludes with the following passage: 

'The above principles should in no way affect the duties of the
minorities, of complete loyalty to the State to which they belong.
They have been inspired by a desire to secure for the minorities
equitable conditions of life, and harmonious collaboration with the
nationals of the State in which they live -- a state of affairs which
will contribute to the progressive strengthening of the friendly and
good-neighbourly relations between Poland and Germany.' (Trial of
German Major War Criminals, Part 6, p. 213)

which serve to the completion of the Reich Marshal's
collection;" other works will be shipped to Germany for use
in German museums. (141-PS) (NCA II, 439-40)
