Our congressman are thinking
internationally these days. Vet
eran Congressman Roy o. Wood
run is alarmed over what he calls
the Russian challenge to the At.
lantic Charter. Although the
charter seeks no ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
territorial or other, the Soviet
Embassy declared "a most en-
phatic claim to rich industrial and
agricultural areas OF pre.war Po-
land"
These claims come as great
shock" Woodruff told the House
Wednesday. in face of the three
first articles of the Atlantic Char
ter ostensibly for all the Allies -
The Bay City Republican re-
called that Germany and Russia Of
hcially partitioned Poland by a
treaty signed in Moscow. Follow
ing that the Germans herded the
Polls into Central Poland and Rus.
STA killed thousands OF Poles and
drove others into Siberia and Asias-
tic Russia.
Now we are confronted, says
Woodruff. with the bold notice
by the Soviet Embassy that Rus
STA does not intend to be a party
to the Atlantic Charter
Woodruff further predicts that
Russia will not look with com
placence upon the policing OF Eu.
rope by American and British mil
itary forces after the war
