The war department contemplates
publishing the names of those brand
ed as deserters during the recent world
war, and it stated that there will be
no discrimination. If the action is
made effective interest developments
are anticipated.
Building throughout the country has
practically stopped. It will take the
country five years to catch up. This
means rents will continue to soar this
winter it is believed in Washington.
Stated briefly, the position Of the
United States government anent the
Polish situation stands as favoring the
preservation of the political independ-
ence and territorial integrity of Po-
land and as opposing any dismember-
ment of Russia. The outlines of this
policy were set forth in note dis
patched by Secretary Colby to the Ital-
ian ambassador.
In discussing the Russo-POlish sit
uation resulting from the sweep of the
Soviet armies into Poland, Secretary
Colby takes occasion to reiterate the
previously expressed sympathy of the
United States government for the Rus
sian people as we'll as the governments
previously announced decision not to
recognize the Soviet regime which is
characterized as a non-representative
government whose only sanction is
brutal force.
Diplomats generally regard the note
anent Poland as having a three-fOld
purpose, to-wit: First, the extension
of moral support to the Polish gov
eminent and people; second, an APP
peal to the masses in Russia to throw
off the Bolsheviki yoke and establish
constitutional government; third,
the influence of other nations to re-
frain from recognition of the Soviet
regime.

of retaining Camp Gordon because
congress provided for only eight camps
