Threatening Integrity,
Prime Minister Declares
BY be Associated Press

LONDON, March 30 Gen.
Wladyslaw Sikorski, Prime Minister
of the Polish government-in-e exile.
declared in London address today
that Poles would unite to "the last
man to resist any postwar claims
from any quarter which aim at
the sovereignty and integrity of
Poland"
The statement was made at a
luncheon of the City Livery Club.
after Cen Sikorski declared Polish
soldiers had shown their mettle
by fighting at the side of Great
Britain"
He said losses since the Battle
OF Britain had been very consid-
cradle and reported that in more
than a dozen Polish Air Force
squadrons losses reached a very hieh
percentage of flying personnel and
planes.
Underground Struggle Continues.
Executions and massacres his
country is experiencing are ter
rible." Gen. Sikorski said. for the
Polish nation is carrying on an un-
hlnchlng struggle against the in
vader."
In view of all this he continued
according to the official translation
OF his prepared speech, II solemnly
wish to state here. and with great
emphasis. that if at the conclusion
OF the war our rights are not re-
spected and our long and passionate
devotion to freedom taken into con-
slderation. every Pole, irrespective
OF religious or political creed. will
unite to the last man to resist any
claims which aim at the sovereignty
and integrity of our country. from
whatever quarter they might be
raised
Allied Flyers Urged for Russia.
Earlier in the speech, Gen. Sikor-
ski suggested that an Allied air force
should 60 to the Russian front after
the fighting In Tunisia is concluded,
as an expression of Allied soli-
darity.
He asserted the German high
command planned to start. 'at the
earliest opportunity" in 1943, a third
offensive against the Soviet armies
He said the Germans had perfected
their weapons and carried out total
mobilization on an unprecedented
scale during the winter. adding:
This will allow them to rebuild
on comparatively big scale their
depleted reserves and will provide
them this summer with new forces
for keeping the fortress of Europe
under their control and for new
offensive attempts"

Called to Describe Negotiations.
Mr.. Wilcox, now War Shipping
Administration agent in the Carib-
bean area with headquarters in Ha-
vana. was called by the committee
to detail negotiations leading up to
the charter agreements.
The American ships involved, he
said, were in the category of neu-
trails at the time, and were privi-
legged under the limits of the Neu-
trality Act then in force, to trade
where they pleased
Therefore. he said the element
which dominated in fixing the rates
was to give the ship owners as rea-
sonable rates as they would get in
separate operation and at the same
time get the ships in the service
where they were needed.
The lines involved. he explained,
were aware of existing rates for the
contemplated service in the open
market. amounting to about 81 a
cubic foot. and as a result of nego-
foot on a space charter basis was
agreed on. with specific state
ment that the rate would be re-
duced for future voyages if found
to be too high or increased if found
TO be too low.
Rates later were reduced three
times. he added, and the commits
sion adopted policy of deferring
requisitioning to avoid freezing
values at their peak
Figures Presented.
There are records in the Mari
time Commission" Mr.. Wilcox said
(which show that during the first
several months OF operation of the
Red Sea service approximately
100000 cubic feet of commercial
cargo were handled over and above
the cargo handled under the space
charters with the British Ministry
OF War Transport. which yielded
a revenue of over s6.O0O000.
This commercial cargo was ham
died on approximately 100 sailings
and is therefore sufficiently repre-
sentative to confirm 81 cubic foot
as the going rate for vessels assigned
to that service"
On the other hand. he added
the original rate charged the British
Ministry was rs cents a cubic foot
for cargo space below deck and so
cents foot for cargo carried above
deck, and that was subsequently
reduced three times.
Earlier. Roscoe Hupper. counsel
for the Luckenback Steamship Co,
one OF the participating lines, said
that the charters in question we're
lust as fairly negotiated as any 1
have ever heard of"
Says Taxes Cut Into Profits.
The rates were fixed by the Mari
time Commission. he said. and ac-
cepted by the owners.
Furthermore. he added, the
profits, whatever they were, did
not remain long in the hands of the
owners"
Asserting that the profit figures
were before depreciation and taxes,
Mr.. Hupper said taxes took so to 70
per cent of the total

we consider the problem of replace
ment from earnings. were modest

American and British war pro-

the Allies are about ready to un-

This was determined on the

and remains a dominant theme
in the military phases of the talks

To date the war against Japan

closed the door, that he had spoken sharply
to her She was fine, he told himself very
efficient and pleasant and oddly loyal, but
she had no right to assume that he couldn't
get along without her.
He stood idly looking out the window at
the drifting fakes then down at Sverdlov
Square, silent under snow. Moscow was
hurrying home from work - leaning against
the wind, holding it's hat. A trolley bus inched
around the elbow of the Square and stopped
beneath his balcony. People converged sud-

the points of the V narrowed to line that
disappeared as the bus door snapped shut

that he could be watching Chicago on any

hurrying home to read the paper more fully,
to talk across table, about what happened at

tables lined the walls, and a small, round
orchestra stand was in the back.
He saw Miss Slaboda, in her hat and coat,
sitting alone at a wall table. He nodded, and
hung his overcoat on wall peg. She smiled
up at him and he sat down, relieved that he
hadn't offended her She smiled again and
said, "Everythings arranged, MIR. Wynn.
She'll be here just as soon as she can get her
self put together after work"
That's fine. You're the perfect secretary,
Miss Slaboda.''
He was pleased with himself that he could
be easy with her again.

eyes on the pack He held it out to her.

me some background information on her,
