DIV DLAin DULLES.
Viscount Halifax, the British AM
bassador, yesterday demonstrated
anew the bond between Great Brit
ain and the theoretical Republic of
Poland by calling on the new Polish
Amba ssador Jan Ciechanowski, at
the Polish Embassy. England de-
clared war on Germany in fulfill
ment of her treaty obligations to
Poland.
Ambassador Halifax visited the
Embassy at noon, shortly after Mr..
Ciechanowski had told press con-
ference that regular shipments OF
munitions and battle supplies from
this country to Great Britain would
shorten the war.
The Polish Ambassador told news
papermen that Poland, even though
geographically 1t belongs to Russia
and Germany, is Englands ''prin-
cipally" in the fight against the
axis. with an army. navy and air
force directed by the Polish gov
eminent -in-eXile in London.
Looking ahead already to the post
war situation, MI. Ciechanowski in
discussing the progress of plans for
a Polish-Czech federation as the
foundation for a democratic new
order" in Central Europe, said his
government felt Germany should
be denied the privilege of rearming
after the peace, if the peace is to be
stable.
No Compromise Possible, He Says.
He was speaking. of course. from
the standpoint of one confident that
the victory would be on the side
against the axis.
only complete victory of Great
Britain and her Allies over the ag-
gTessive forces of the imperialist
dictators who disgrace this 10th
century can save mankind and re-
store freedom. justice and peace to
the world" Ambassador Ciechanow-
ski said in a prepared statement.
No compromise is possible between
the lust for world domination and
right of all peoples to live in peace,
between freedom and enslavement,
between madness and sanity.
That victory on which depends
the future happiness and prosperity
of all free nations and the preserva-
ton of the most sacred rights of a
civilized world will undoubtedly be
won. provided Great Britain. who is
so CALAMITY shouldering practically
the entire burden of the defense of
freedom and democracy. can speed
lily and regularly obtain from this
country the war material indis-
pensible to achieve this aim"

fighting the antl-aXis war in the
Near East. The British recently
have turned over to the Polish navy
a submarine in replacement for a
lost Polish sub. The Polish mer-
chant marine is in the trade of
carrying supplies to the British
Isles and some of its ships ply be-

Relations of Real Allies.
The Ambassador said the rela-
tions between the British govern
ment and the Polish government
are those of real allies. The Poles
are fighting as Poles, he said, under
their own commanders, although al
subject to the high command. as
was the case in the World War
when Marshal Foch of France was
| the ultimate military authority over
all the Allied armies. The Polish
forces expect to share in American
supplies sent to England.
/ Mr.. CiechanoWski described his
mission in this country as very
broad, the normal mission" of an
ambassador. He is unique in one
respect. He is the first chief OF
diplomatic mission sent here by one
of the refugee governments whose
countries as geographical entities
have disappeared into the bounds
of some larger country, such as
