Poland And Russia

The best diplomatic brains of Great
Britain and the United States are seeking
to patch up the unfortunate crack which
Nazi propaganda has produced in
United Nations solidarity. They will find
a way, because both Russia and Poland
realize that the issues are too grave to
be ignored. Some face-Saving formula
will do the trick.
We might just as we'll accept the fact
that there are certain fundamental con-
flicts between Poland and Russia which
cannot be resolved at this time.
The Poles are suspicious of Moscow.
They cannot forget that when the Nazi
blitz struck, Stain sent Soviet troops in
the back door and took over about half
of Poland. They may accept, ostensibly,
the explanation that Stain foresaW the
German-RuSsian break and could not let
Hitler take all of Poland; but the Reds
method did not breed confidence and
good will.
The Poles cannot understand what be-
came of some 8,700 of their soldiers, taken
prisoners by Russia and not released in
when some 10000 others were per-
mitted to join British forces in
the Near East. They were provoked by
the murder of two Polish labor leaders
on the claim, which is not accepted in
this country, that they were pro-Nazi.
Moreover, the Poles believe that Stain
has designs on certain Ukrainian,
White Russian and Lithuanian territory
that was part of Poland before the Nazis
conquered it. Molotoff's note severing
diplomatic relations seems to confirm this
Polish suspicion.
On the other hand, the Polish govern
ment-in-exile unquestionably fell victim
to a Nazi propaganda trick that should
long since have been discredited by the
German habit of numbering enemies and
then showing the bodies as evidence OF
atrocities which they attribute to other
enemies.
There is no evidence except the word
of the liar Goebbels that 10000 Polish
officers, or even 5000, were murdered.
There is no evidence, if they were as to
who slaughtered them. No investigator
could determine who were the victims and
who the killers, even if he were shown
the bodies. The Nazis held Smolensk for
two years before they pretended to have
uncovered evidence that the Reds had
slain Polish war prisoners.
The Russians are UNDERSTANDABLE ag-
grieved that when the Poles asked the
Red Cross to look into this story, they did
not insist that there be check also into
the notorious Oswiecim concentration
camp, where there is reason to believe
that the Gestapo has killed $1,000 Poles
and Jews by quick and slow torture
The important thing now is to find
formula by which Russians and Poles
can agree to let these troubles rest until,
through the Whole-souled cooperation
with the rest of the United Nations and
with each other, the Axis shall have
been defeated.

Nav the first! The poets of old found
material galore to extol the loneliness
of May. It is the beginning of the flow
ering season, which has been bit de-
iayed this year. The rigors of winter
have left most with let-Gown feeling.
There is less of happiness this year than
in a long time. But it is bright month:
It is a month devoted to the Mother OF
God in the Catholic church. This year 1t
is devoted to praying for peace. AS
matter of fact prayers for peace are
urged by churches of all creeds, and one
and all the faithful should feel at this
most beautiful season the urge to pray
in May.

NEW YORK U.P The ma

800 million for them. Scarcity OF
hides for tanning, falling off of
imports. and increased demand
for shoes for the armed forces
and Lend-Lease, have frightened
the supply.
To help relieve the situation a
number of shoe manufacturers

The demand for shoe repairs is
expected TO increase as every
pair of shoes must be made to
last longer. and the WPB has an
ticipated the need by ordering a
larger ALLEGATION Of leather than
ever before this purpose.

255 Requests Granted.
The report clearly indicated that
workers who wanted job in another
city had a better chance of getting
the necessary statement OF avail
ability before they left than when
they arrived at their destination and
sent back for it.
Under the new Nation wide en-
ployment stabilization plans worker
going any place in the country for
a job must have a statement of
availability from the United States
Employment Service in the city he
left.
OF the 294 statements requested
from the USES before the applicants
left Washington, 255 were issued
and 80 we're denied. On the other

the area and then tried to get state

those 24l either had to keep looking
for "violator" of the plan or return

from whom they had sought work
in the other town had refused to
hire them without statements of
availability.

Government jobs. Of that total,
only 20S brought statements of
availability with them. In the other
1877 cases, the USES requested
statements of availability from the
Immigrants hometowns, and these
were furnished in 1928 cases.
Under the new plan. all workers
from out Of the area who come here
for work must be hired through the
United States Employment Serv-
ice, and they cannot get a Job with
out a statement of availability. Dur
Ing September. I'll who came
without these releases were referred
to jobs on the condition that they
get statements of availability from
their hometowns within short
period. Under the new plan. it was
pointed out, the practice of con.
ditional referral has been aban.
doned and the releases from the
other area are necessary before
the worker takes job.
