without doing damage.

using Afghanistan as an outpost

The danger of war is most acute,
however, on the western border OF
the Soviet Union; Poland and Ru-
mania, the vassal states of the En-

selves for war. Here are some

France Gives Weapons.
In addition, Poland has received
from France in the six years from
1928 to 1929 no less than 100000
rifles, 5000 machine guns, 1000
heavy and light field guns, 100000
shells, 1000 war planes, and $50
tanks. AS Poland was unable to
finance these huge armament ex-
penditures alone, France granted
Poland loans aggregating 100000
900 francs during the last five years.
