Try Associates Press,


PARIS, Oct. 2.-Wladyslaw
Raczkiewicz, former president of
the Warsaw senate and who took
the oath of office in this city
yesterday at the Polish Embassy
as president of the republic of
Poland now divided between
Germany and Russia, announced
yesterday he was attempting to
form an army of 100000 Poles
from among the 100000 now
living in the United States and
Canada.
The new Polish president said
that these Poles are now "the
last card and / will play it,.
Raczkiewicz is seeking the CO.
operation of Ignace Paderewski,
the famous pianist and the first
Polish premier.
DR.. Ignace Moscicki, who was
held in Rumania, resigned as
president of Poland Saturday
and left Immediately for France.
While the former head of the
conquered country was held in
neutral Rumania he was power
less to act in accordance to his
rights. However, with his resig-
nation and the Inauguration of
Raczkiewicz, the Poles hope to
thwart the Nazi attempt to pre-
vent the existence of the Polish
government.

War Is One Month Old:
Isl Churchill Summarizes

LONDON, Oct. I'm a broad
cast to the British Empire, Win
ston Churchill, First Lord of the
Admiralty, declared it was for
Hitler to say when the war
would begin but it is not for
him or his successors to say
when it will end. Stating that
he could not forecast Russia S
next move. he said the U.S.S.R,
was a mystery.
The length of the war depends
on how long Herr Hitler and the
rest of his "gangsterS whose
hands are stained with blood and
sticky with corruption" can keep
their hold on the German peo-
pie.
Mr.. Churchill said that Ger
many was fighting the strength
of 85.O00,00O people, the total OF
the British and French popula-
tions. He stated it was true Ger
many also possessed 85,000,00C
people but that 100000 Of
these were recently conquered
and were being held down by
main force. He said that in
their hearts the conquered masses
were definitely against the Nazi
government.
The First Lord of the Ad-
nairalty proclaimed England com
manded the ocean and by so do.
ing the British had access to the
10000, 900 of New Zealand, Aus
tralia and Canada. Also aiding
the Allies were the moral sup
port of India and the goodwill
and respect of the whole world

they are different from October
of 1914, Mr.. Churchill stated.
Then, France was about to be de-
feated, Russia had been crushed
and Turkey was ready to join
Germany in the conflict. Battles
on the high seas were to be
fought with a fleet almost as
strong as the British, and the
neutrality of Italy, a member of
the Triple Alliance, worried Eng
land until it was revealed that a
clause in the Alliance pact al
lowed Italy to determine its own
course of action.
Although the great odds faced
them are not true today, Mr..
Churchill declared. yet he is not
Understanding the danger that
lies ahead. The English people,
he said, are glad Italy has not
yet joined the conflict with Ger
many and pointed out that
Britain has never been at war
with the Italians. England, the
First Lord of the Admiralty
stated, has the strength to carry
. good cause forward.
Referring to the overrunning
of Germans in Poland and the
great fight the Poles presented,
Mr.. Churchill said that the con-
quered territory will rise again.
Although the Russians. without
regard to life or property, in
vaded Poland, he said that ma
ton stops Germany from setting
fire to the Balkan States.
Another factor in favor of the
British, he stated, was the failure
of the German U-boats, which
haven't sunk a British vessel in
a week.
