HARLEM SEES POLAND

New York, Sept. 28-(Angelo
TIcrndon for CNA)-Already SEN
sing Chamberlain's old game of
treachery, many people of Harlem
are beginning to ask when do
Britain and France intend to aid
Poand Jun her fight against fac
ist aggression.
This is Immediately apparent
upon observing the reactions and
conversations of hundreds of peo-
pie who rush to the news stands
throughout the day seeking news
about the war of England and
France with Nazi Germany.
Discussing the progress of the
war one of a group of workers at
125th st. and Lenox Ave. made
the following comment:
"It's the biggest bluff that has
ever been put over on the public.
Can you imagine UGH fighting?
II l declare war against my enc
my, do you think l would send
planes to drop leaflets instead of
bombs?
"Ill bet my socks that England
and France are secretly working
for another Munich. They do not
intend to fight for Poland"
Commenting on the Soviet nom
aggression pact with Nazi Ger
many, the speaker said:
s'Russia knows the intentions
of Britain and France and all the
ether countries. They would like
TO see her wiped off the face of
the earth because they're afraid
of Communism"
A copper, standing on the same
corner, said: chamberlain should
Get it in the neck for his treacher-
Gus policy"
On Fifth Ave. and 125 ST., fout
young WPA employees, ranging in
age from 10 to 26. expressed the
opinion that Chamberlain was up
to some new trick of getting A
merica involved in the war. On.
Of them said:
England and France could have
stopped Mussolini in Ethiopia.
They could have stopped Hitler
in Czechoslovakia and Austria
they can still stop him in Poland
if they want to.
, "If they had not sold all those
countries down the river, there
would be no ar today. England
and France slipped up on getting
Russia to fight for them and now
they're trying to drag America
in"
Another one of the group Chin
ed in:
"The whole thing looks fishy
anyhow. Poland is getting a ter
rible beating and they're still talk
ing about helping her. That's
alright, but l wonder when?"
cts the funniest war I've ever
SEEM" said a storekeeper anc
news dealer on 120th st. and Len
OK Ave.
"The radios and newspapers tel
you that Britain and France have
bombed this place and that place
that they have made contact
here and there with the German
army. But then they turn arounc
and tell you that it vas a fals'
alarm. You just can't figure til,
