PoIish-American Unit
Opposes Concessions
To Soviet Government

The Polish American Congress was
on record today as adamantly op-
posed to any concessions to Russia
on Poland's 1899 eastern boundary,
regardless of whether the Polish
government-in-exi in London ac-
cepts a compromise settlement in
the interests OF Allied unity.
Charles Rozmarek of Chicago,
president of the organization which
claims to represent 100000 Amer
lean citizens of Polish descent, said
at press conference late yesterday
after special meeting of the Board
OF Directors, that "an we are inter-
ested in right now is to see that the
eastern part of Poland should not
be taken by Russia"
Asked If the congress would sup
port any concessions that might be
made by the Polish government in
London, Mr.. Rozmarek said I'VE rep
resent people who come from that
section and naturally they would
not agree" to any Russian annexa-
ton.
Won't Accept Compromise.
Russia occupied a large part of
Eastern Poland in 1885, The Soviet
government now is believed to be
willing to discuss settlement of the
boundary question on the basis of
the so-called "Curzon line" proposed
after the last war, with Poland be-
ing compensated for the los sof ter
ing compensated for the loss of ter
East Prussia from Germany.
Mr.. Rozmarek said Polish Amer
leans would not accept such COM
promise, since East Prussia as we'll
as Upper Silesia, the Wilma corner
and the TeSchen district, was con-
sidered rightfully Polish anyway.
Asked what consideration was
given Marshal Stalin's statements
that the Soviet government desires
a strong and free Poland, Mr.. Roz-
marek said he did not believe the
Russian leaders words wore borne
out by his actions.
Cites Atlantic Charter.
He added that 1t would seem
strange for Great Britain to be
willing to let Russia take Eastern
Poland when the British went to
war with Germany over the Polish
corridor and that he believed the
United States stood for justice and
fair play. He insisted the Atlantic
Charter requires return to Poland
Of her eastern territory.
Mr.. Rozmarek said he considered
President Roosevelt's statement
Wednesday that Poland must be re-
constituted as great nation" a
very fine statement" but that it left
several questions unanswered.

blanks, MIR. Stimson told a news
conference, only 268 reports have
been received by the War and Navy
Departments of even the outer en-

an Army ballot opened.
Reports have been heard in Con-
gress and elsewhere recently that
military censors were inspecting
ballots along with all other mail.
Mr.. Stimson previously had said
