There is no limit of 15,000 on the number of Poles to be employed in the mines. The main limiting factor seems likely to be the rate at which the Poles themselves accept this employment. The rate at which they can be trained and the rate at which they can be absorbed into the mining labour force will, it is intended, be adequate to deal with all available applicants.
