All Allied Pledges Hurt
III Poland Is Sacrificed


recognized that government as the
legitimate government of Poland, at
least until the Polish people them
selves have been liberated, does not
cut any ice with Russia.
AT Moscow and Teheran, Russia
gave eloquent lip service to the prin-
ciple of collective action. Russia is
now revealing that in matters that
concern her directly she insists on
playing lone hand. 1t is not an
suspicious augury for the future"
GEORGE f. SOKOLSKY, in his
VI syndicated column, has recalled
that in 1920 Secretary of State Balm
bridge Colby signed a note (which
became American doctrine for many
years-in fact, up to the Teheran
conference"
This note said in part:
This government believes in a
united. free and autonomous Polish
state and the people of the United
States are earnestly sblicitOus for the
maintenance of POland's political in
dependence and territorial integrity.
From this attitude we will not
depart, and the policy of this govern
ment will be directed to the employ
ment of all available means to render
il effectual."
In a letter to The New York
Times signed by various organiza-
-tions of Americans Of Polish descent,
it is asserted that if the integrity Of
Poland is not defended, "the people
of Europe can come to only one con-
clusion; that the United States has
resolved to resign forever from the
realization of the principles of the
Atlantic Charter in that part of
Europe which is within reach of the
military power of the Soviet Union"
DOLES in close touch with state
affairs contend that the Russian
refusal to recognize the Polish gov
eminent as legal, and the Russian
demand that a government be set up
that is more friendly" to Russia
constitute an interference in Poland's
domestic affairs and an attack upon
her sovereignty.
They claim, too, that Russia's
territorial demands can be based
only on an act of force, Russian in
vasion Of Poland in 1899. They assert
that the prewar Russo-PoHsh bound
airy, established in 1921, was a result
Of high moderation on the part of the
then victorious Poland; that the
Polish delegates to the Riga peace
conference were motivated by an
earnest desire to insure peaceful
relations between Poland and Russia
in the years to come.
The settlement, they say, left
million and a half Poles on the Rus
sian side of the border, whereas only
some 100000 Russians were left on
the Polish side.
1t is also pointed out here that
Nazi Germanys foreign minister,
Won Ribbentrop, drew the boundary
line that Russia now wants to impose
on Poland

cally before the United Nations is,
in the opinion Of observers here,
matter not only of geography and
politics, but of freedom of conscience
and affecting western Christianity
as well.
1t is estimated by some that, if
Russia is permitted to draw the
boundary line where she wants to,
so as to incorporate half of prewar
Poland into Soviet Russia, it would
mean the surrender of some 100000
Catholics to the religious policy of
Russia.
If Lithuania, Esthonia and Latvia
are to lose their independence to
Russia, it is believed that at least an
other 100000 Catholics would come
under Russian domination. Still other
Catholics, in the Balkan states, would
come under the Soviets, directly or
indirectly, as result Of RuSsia'S
'exparte' settlement of its western
boundary.
MUCH has been heard lately to the
4NI effect that Russia has turned
from its policy Of religious persecu-
ton, and that it is holding forth the
promise, if not the actually, of re-
ligiOus freedom within her borders.
Still, very little is known here
about actual religious conditions in
Russia and even less about the mind
of the Russian leaders with regard
to the future of religion in the land
of the Soviets.
In any event, even if most of the
reports heard to date should prove
to be true, there are even more inn
polling reasons, students of such
matters point out, for believing that
Premier Stain is strongly inclined
to look upon the Russian Orthodox
Church as a dependent and posses
sion and a servant of the state.
This is precisely the situation that
Catholics and Protestants have
struggled against in Nazi Germany
To meet it again in Russia, it is con-
tended, would be to face the same
struggle on vastly greater scale.
GONE observers have suggested
- two grave considerations in con-
nection with the Polish border dis
pute:
First, they point out, the situation
involves directly matter Of prin-
ciples among the United Nations
themselves. They cite the fact that
Russia has in effect issued an "uncon-
ditional surrender ultimatum to one
of the United Nations group, and
they assert that this constitutes
challenge to all the pledges and
agreements signed by the United
Nations.
They contend that, as embodied
in the Atlantic Charter, these agree
ments foreSee the restoration to
sovereign rights of all nations that
fell victim Of aggression.
Second, the unilateral establish
ment of the Russo-PoGsh boundary
by Russia may have an effect upon
Central and South America that no
one can fully appreciate now.
Observers say Latin-American coun-
tries, as most all countries, recognize
Poland as a pioneer in resisting
aggression and most uncompromis-
ing fighter in this war.
Catholic Latin America, they add,
is peculiarly able to appreciate the
spiritual as well as material impor-
lance of .Poland's claims, and if the
European country is sacrificed to the
dictates of force, they may we'll be
shaken in their confidence in seri-

BARNET MOVER, writing in The
ID Washington Post, says Perhaps
the most ominous aspect of the
Soviet declaration of Jan. / | and sub
Sequent statements regarding Poland
that have emanated from Russia is
the implied argument that only a
Polish government prepared to do
RusSia'S bidding will be regarded by
the Kremlin as a friendly govern
ment.
Apparently, the fact that both

THIS is not written with in
Il tent to ridicule Congress
which has taken a bad beating
from both the executive branch
and elements of the press in
recent years.
Our statesmen didn't. create
this groteSque situation inteA
tionally but did so under poll
cal pressure from the socialisth
and other leftish powers. But
the whole effect is simply awful
and the worst reproach TO Con-
greSs as an institution that has
occurred in the whole Roosevelt
rule.
People who have struggled
through this years experience
may be pardoned for rejecting
that only a Congress of fools or
deliberate saboteurs Of popular
faith in the legislative branch
could have invented such a
painful and inefficient snarl.

Tells 1t to Marines
With Good Results

The other day tobacco farmer

Zones territory doesn't run more
than lbs miles from the White
House, wanted to clear an acre Of
thick timber needed for firewood-it
takes a lot of smoke to cure the
tobacco for your smokes. He
couldn't hire help locally. Jones
told 1t to the Marines" (female)
end some so answered with action.
They cut the timber trees of about
28 inches), sawed it into eight-foot
lengths, piled 1t up.
And soldiers and sailors seem glad
to take a weeks furlough to 60 out
and pitch hay, get in the wheat and
tobacco crops, or turn a hand to
any other little chore. They say
they consider it great relief from
loafng around hospital or guard
ing government buildings or doing
any other of the strictly military
Jobs they have.
Even among the groups Of girls
Jones says you'll find enough who
can run a tractor or hitch and drive
team Of horses. One group cleared
FIVE and a half acres, cut the trees,
sawed them up, burned the brush.
