PARIS, April 2o-The outbreak OF
new war in eastern Europe Is likely
to be the outcome OF sending Gen.
Haller's army to Poland. When these
we'll drilled troops arrive in the home
country, which many of them have
never seen, it is planned to throw
them against Petlura's Ukrainlan
troops and force the latter out of Ga
licia, thereby strengthening by the
nine points Of possession Poland's ter
ritorial claim on her eastern frontier.
The Polish Government will refuse
TO conclude an armistice with the
Ckrainlnns until this is done. An i'm
sion called upon Premier Paderewski
and asked him TO enter into such an
armistice but was told that Poland
would be foolish to do so now since In
month or two she will be in far
more favorable position. An armistice
made now would be based upon the
present front, but when Cen Haller' s
troops get into action against the
Ckrainians the line will be pushed far
to the east.
II develops now that Poland's keen
desire to get Hailers army arose less
from a wish TO defend the western from
tier against the Germans than a desire
| to expand the eastern frontier at the ex-
pense OF the Ukrainians II Is acknowl-
edged on behalf OF the Allies that this
was one reason why Haller was held SO
long In France.
| There is a distinctly independent at
titude observable in Polish circles here
which has been strengthened by the alb
dication of the Polish National Commit
tee. Members OF Premier Paderewski's
delegation say that nothing short OF the

Poland feels she is SO remote as to be
almost immune from the authority Of
