§ 21. Mr. KINGasked the Home Secretary whether, following the example of the Russian authorities who are treating prisoners of war of Polish nationality with special consideration, he can so mitigate, without risk to the public safety, the rigours of the Aliens Restriction Order that aliens who are of Polish nationality may be relieved from some of its most burdensome conditions?
§ Mr. McKENNAIt is not at present possible in law to recognise "Polish nationality" as distinct from the nationality of the Sovereign State of which residents in the various parts of Poland 628 are subjects. But in the administration of the Aliens Restriction Order, all possible consideration will be shown to those persons of Polish race who, though technically "alien enemies," are in fact friendly to this country.
