Soviet Embassy Hints
Door Is Open for New
Polish Government
Opposition to Sikorski
Reeime-in-ExiIe in
London Is Reiterated

The Soviet Embassy today re-
iterated Ru-sia's previous rejec-
ton OF the Polish government
in-exile, headed by Gen. Wladis-
law Sikorski, but at the same
time intimated the door was
wide open for the formation of
a new, Soviet-approved regime,
which need not operate from
Moscow.
This latest position OF Russia in
connection with the Russo Polish
crisis was revealed in the Soviet En-
bassy's information bulletin, which
published full texts of the recent
Moscow assertions that the Sikorski
group in London is unauthorized to
speak for the Polish people.
While the published texts made it
clear that Russia could not resume
relations with the established gov
ernment in exile, an Embassy
spokesman warned against specula-
ton that a substitute Russian
supported regime would be set up
in the shadow Of the Kremlin.
"Reactionary" Regime Opposed.
He intimated there was no reason
why the Kremlin should insist on
Moscow as the seat Of what it might
consider a truly representative Pol
ish government.
The texts. however, left no doubt
that Moscow would not recognize
any regime 1t regarded as reaction
ary" and representing the interests
OF "magnates and landowners"
The case against the Sikorski gov
ernment is stated at some length in
an article originally published by
Izvestia, official organ of the Soviet
government, and given additional
emphasis by official republication
here. In it Wanda Wassilewska,
president of the Union of Polish
Patriots and secretary general of
the Communist Party of Poland,
asked:
Whom does the Polish emigre
government represent? The Polish
people? No. The Polish people
never elected, never appointed, never
invested this government with pow
ers The present Polish government
took over the functions Of the rem
nants of the Rydz-Smigly govern
ment which fled from Poland"
She asserted that "the Polish gov
ernment Gin London never repre-
sented Poland but only a group of
emigres."
Territorial Claims Cited.
The article expressed confidence
that the Soviet government will
make it possible for Poles in Russia
to fight for our homeland, arms in
hand, shoulder to shoulder with the
Soviet citizens of all nationalities.
An editorial republished from
Pravda, official mouthpiece of the
Communist party, used such epithets
as "hoodlum" and political gam
bier to describe the men who; it
alleged. have used the government
in-exile in London to press terri
torial claims against the Soviet
Union.
These and other attacks on the
Sirkorski regime, however-includ-
ing the strongly worded note with
which the Moscow government
broke off relations with the govern
ment-in-exile April 25-draw a
sharp distinction between that gov
ernment and the Polish people.
The door thus is left open for es-
tablishment of a new Soviet-ap-
proved government-in-exile, in Lon
don or elsewhere, which could
clarity the controversy over Eastern
Polish areas occupied by the Red
Army in 1889 by officially recog-
nizing their Incorporation into the

realities, who ruined Poland in
the. 18th century," If Stain
means to 60 on dealing with
the Poles at all, it Is certainly
poor policy for him to under
mine Sikorsky, the most rea-
Sonable Of the Polish leaders,"
Mr.. Davis said.)
Russia severed diplomatic rela-
tions with the Polish government in
exile last Sunday, climaxing weeks
of mounting tension resulting from
the German SmolenSk story.

orchestras of this country, radio en-
gagements, and a recording con-
tract.
Unlike Miss Garbousova, Mr.. Mil
stein did not undertake a career as
child prodigy" In fact, he had
reached the ripe age of 10 when he
made his first concert tour of Russia
"a joint recital tour with an equally
young and unknown musician, Vladi-
mir HorowitZ. Prior to that he had
studied in his native city of Odessa
with Stoliarsky and later, in Petro-
grad, with Leopold Auer. Now an
American citizen, Milstein first came
to this country in 1919 for a debut
with the Philadelphia Orchestra
under StokoWski. Since then he has
appeared annually in almost every
city in the country, and has rolled
up an amazing record in his number
of solo appearances with symphony
orchestras.
In addition to the Goldmark
Concerto and the Tschaikowsky
Fifth" the National Symphony will
play on Wednesday the Kinder
transcription of Bach's 'Kommt der
Heiden Holland" and "The Wedding

OWI Posters
At Public Library.

The central Public Library is cur
rently exhibiting seven posters and
the original works from which they
were made for the Office of War
Information. It is interesting to
compare the reproductions with the
paintings or crayrr drawings. The
latter have an advantage over the
paintings in the faithfulness with
which they are carried into prints.
Crisp edges and textual nuances in
the original paintings, are slightly
blurred in the reproductions; but
this fact is seen only on minute in
spection. At distance of a few
feet it is difficult to distinguish be-
tween posters and originals
John Atherton's "A Careless Word,
Another Cross poster with its strik-
ing simplicity Of design and color
scheme impressed the reviewer as
the best of this group. Probably
Stevan Dohanos' Good News From
Home" in which cheerful young
soldier tells off tanks, guns, planes
and ships is the most popular.
Two artists have employed similar
themes drowning sailors) for diff
ferent titles, but neither is convinc-
ing. They give an impression of
actors overdramatizing their roles.
Bernard Perlin, the artist of one of
these, has recently completed a new
poster for Owl. entitled Amer
leans VIII Always Fight for Free
dom" which is superior in design
and conception. 1t contrasts the
Continentals Of 1773 with the Amer
leans Of this war, and is already
widely distributed.

Chinese Government
Cooperation.
From 1920 to his death, December
q, 1912, John Ellerton Lodge was
director of the Freer Gallery of Art.
For 10 previous years he had been
curator of Chinese and japanese
art in the Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston, with which for IL years his
services were shared. This period,
as Miss Guest, assistant director OF
the Freer Gallery. has pointed out
in a brief memorial, was contem-
poraneous with our rapidly expand
ing knowledge of the historic past
of China as expressed in the fine
arts. To that knowledge, which has
progressed from marsh of con-
lecture" to the firm ground of his
toric accuracy" none contributed
more than he.
From 1922 to 1881 the Freer Gal

a field staff in China to work in
cooperation with the Chinese gov
ernment, which has resulted in the
increase of knowledge of the art of
China as interpreting both culture
and esthetic instinct of the people.
Archibald G. Wenley, who has sue
ceeded him, was for some years one
of these students in the field.
Through the great gifts and
knowledge which Mr.. Lodge brought
to bear upon his work, the Freer
Gallery has become outstanding as
research center for Asiatic arts,
to which museums, schools and in
dividuals, here and in other coun-
tries, resort for authoritative in
formation and guidance.
For the benefit of those in Wash
ington it provides decent service
and occasional lectures, but, best of
all, the finest specimens Of art,
which speak for themselves and
bring us closer to those whose
dreams and skill they represent.
The F'reer Gallery is open every
day except Mondays, Christmas Day
and New Years Day, from am.
