Warsaw Says Plans
Have Never Called
For Asking or Ex-
pecting Russian Aid;
Some See Soviet Aim
To Stay Out of Any
New War.

T Warsaw, Poland, Aug. 22.-(AP)
Official Poland, surprised by Ber-
Inns announcement of negotiations
for non-aggression pact with Soviet
Russia, maintained reserved at
titllde today, but it was responsibly
stated Germany's latest move "has
brought absolutely no change in
Polish policy
Official comment was withheld
until all details of the reported pact
are available.
Regarding the problem of Danzig,
however, Polish circles emphasized
that Poland's present policy" has
''never involved any question of
seeking or expecting" the assistance
of Russia.
In both Polish and foreign quar-
ters, speculation ranged from the
suggestion that the German-Soviet
pact is ''no more than new card
in the game" to a belief that it may
bring some fundamental changes in
the European situation.
1t was held that, Russia could 'af-
ford" to make such a gesture be-
cause she is ''still satisfied that she
is shielded behind the Polish fence"
Another popular view, expressed
freely, was that Russia intends to
stay outside any possible European
war, in the beginning at least.

2. In case one party is the vic

the other will remain neutral.
3. In case either commits an act
