 War Materials

Washington, Jan. 15.-Definite plans for furnishing Poland with war materials and food to aid in the westward spread of bol- shevism are being considered by the United States and by allied govern ments, Secretary Baker said today before the house ways and means committee, supplementing the de- claration of General Tasker H.
