Minsk, Soviet Russia. Aug "a
fFrom a staff correspondent with armis-
fIce commission via Soviet wireless to
Moscow The Polish armistice dele
rates are not satisfied with the Boil
shevik terms which make reference to
the boundary line proposed by Earl
Curzon. British minister Of foreign af-
fairs. The ground of the Polish op-
position is that the Curzon boundary
line would. in effect. be the same as
third partition Of Poland.
In submitting their reply to the Bol.
shevik delegates, the Polish representa-
tives stated that by agreeing to this
Curzon> line the Soviets were seeking to
retain territory wrongfully taken from
Poland by the Russian caars.
Members of the Polish delegation,
explaining their attitude on this boun-
dary issue. said they were willing to
discuss the Curzon line with the Bol,
sheviki at a later date. but would not
accept it as basis at this time.
IA note attached to the forego
ing dispatch states that the Polish
ccnsors refused TO pass reference
TO the Curzon boundary line. so
that the dispatch was sent via
. Soviet wireless to Moscow and
London.

The labor organ. the Daily Herald
breaks in on the chorus Of praise with
an outcry against Premier Lloyt
George.
Everybody. it asserts. knows the
real reason for this new ultimatum and
the renewal of the threat of disastrous
war against Soviet Russia. 1t isn't d
question of terms at all. but question
simply and solely of fact The Poles
have won military victory and have
thus revived the hopes of the French
and British capitalistir governments
that they may be able to overthrow the
Russian Socialist republic. The menace
of war is as grave as ever and actor
BY the labor council is the only power
that can stop it."
