THE POLISH QUESTION

THE POLISH QUESTION
At different times, Poland has been
divided up amongst the Swedes, Prus-
SLAMS, Austrians and before World
War | most of it was held by Russia
and after the war was given its indie
pendence.
September LIST, 1899 Germany in
vades Poland and on the 18th the Red
Army goes into Poland and takes over
Polish Ukrainia by September 27;
which portion, by plebiscite vote,
elected to join the Russian Soviets
by an 500 vote. This was later in
corporated with the Russian Ukraine
as an autonomous republic with its
representatives in Kuibyshev, tenn
porary government in U. S. S. R.
There seems to be some confusion
in regards to Poland and the Baltic
states as to whether they should come
under the atlantic Charter" or under
the category of the status of India
and some of the colonial states AS
far as Moscow is concerned, all the

| the ludicrous as they have been pray
ing for the last 20 years for the Reds
to appear and even second or third
rate diplomat should know how Mos
COW stands on that point. U. S. S. X.
| is not much concerned about that part
| of Poland outside its 1941 boundary
but anything inside its boundary of
that date is not likely to be on the
bargain counter.
Unlike Finland and the Manner
helm line, Poland and the Baltic
states don't constitute a danger to
Soviet security, its more of matter
of principle, besides U. S. S.. R. is
suspicious of Gordon Sanitaires" and
is not likely to bulge on that point
The London-Polish government-in-
exile is not sitting very pretty with
either the Polish peasants or the Mos
COW government because it is the
same personnel partly to blame for
Moscow signing a non-aggression pact
with Berlin and just recently starting
a story about Red army atrocities in
Poland which caused Moscow to break
diplomatic relations with it. Many
think that the government-in-exile
are more concerned about their titles
and lucrative jobs than they are about
the welfare of Poland. Czechoslo-
vakia, unlike Poland, Yugoslavia and
Greece, took the most rational course
by signing pact with Moscow in
addition to having troops fighting
with the Red army and making good
showing there

Editor of Peoples Voice,

Editor of Peoples Voice,
Does it not seem strange that the
stooges of capitalism and American
Manufacturers Association will rave
over a criticism of Willkie by Rus
sian newspaper and load radios and
press with abuse of labor unions and
red-blooded citizens in general and
the question in minds of many is,
why do they do it?"
At the beginning of the war when
the earnest need of effort and assist
ance of the American Manufacturers
was of extreme Importance did they
not say I'VE will have to expand in
order to meet the needs of the nation
and the government must subsidize
us with cash for such expansion"
Did the government grant that sub
sidy? What is to be done with ex-
pansion property and grants after the
war?
Again, did the same class not say
before we proceed to meet require
ments called for, we must be guaran-
teed profit on our production of
these necessary supplies? Did they
not hold out till their demands were
met? When the government con-
ceded to their demand of a cost-plus
contract by force of extreme need, did
radio and press pronounce them trail
tors and accuse them of giving aid to
our enemies?
Now it would appear the forces now
opposing the red-blooded people who
must eat and meet rising prices on
their every day needs, were first to
retard progress of the war profiteers
are fearful of closer understanding
IF the people of U. S. and Russia
Ind the economic conditions under
which they live and are governed, and
by their attitude toward farmers and
aborers as whole are taking proper
'teps to create discord at home as
veil as with Russia Will the charge
IT treason by highly paid war analysts
'ver radio and through the press be
-ble to do it? And if they succeed
Who will be responsible for the re-
ults and who should pay for them?
When powerful monied corporations
urnlshed oil to our enemies and prob
bly, aided our enemies in sinking our
hips and men, did the radio or press
ing out with charges of treason?
When payment for defective wire
vas received by corporation and Of
GERS confessed their guilt and were
ned a mere fraction of the price re-
eived for the wire, were they even
harged with aiding our enemies or
the war? Was that not a
lear case of treason? Did the radio
: press declare it as such openly?
Will charges of treason by powerful
onied classes of the United States
sainst primary producers-toilers-
ave any effect on the morale of our
lemies and thus prolong the war?
Are the common people of the U. S.
, dumb they can't read between the

New York Roundup
By Earl A. Ballard

NEW YORK (C)-Gov. Dew
ey is busy these days trying to
explain to his coIored consit-
uency his previous stand on
many controversial subjects af-
fecting their welfare. His state
mentS are of Importance to
colored citizens throughout the
country because of the posi-
bility that he may become a
candidate for President. The
most important subject Is his
stand on the Soldier Vote Bill
now before Congress. The fight
over the bill has been clearly
divided between the State
Rights Ballot and the Federal
Ballot. Dewey'S previous state
ment on the bill has been in
support of the States Right
angle, which has not been fav-
orable to the colored soldier
vote and based on racial hat

NEW YORK, N. Y.--The Town
Hall" idea had it's conception in
New England. 1t affords the pub
lie an opportunity to participate
in public affairs and permits an
exchange Of points of view that
should be helpful in arriving at
opinions which should be trans
lated into policies. During the
recent weeks, a number Of or
CARNATIONS in Harlem have
been planning a series of open
forums and the first meeting
was held last month on the
topic of "Colored Americans,
What Now?" The road to full
citizenship as laid out by the
leaders in the North and South
brought two eminent speakers
together in the persons of DR..
Algernon D. Black, Director of
the Ethical Culture Society of
New York and DR.. Ira DeA.
Reid, professor in Atlanta Uni
versity and newly appointed Of
fetal in the Southern Regional
Council. Both speakers discussed
the plight Of the colored man in
America today and suggested
remedies for alleviating the
situation. In the discussion and
question period, the audience
gave full vent to their feelings
as to whether the black capital
should be in New York or At
1anta.
Some other evidences of de-
mocracy have been experienced
in recent travels. Out on Long
Island where the Ku Klux Khan
has exerted strong influence, a
group of citizens of both racial
backgrounds staged a meeting in
Rockaway to discuss fuller par
ticipation of minority groups in
the life of that community.
Gathering in a colored Metho-
dist Church the band of true
democrats roundly applauded
my message on full Indignation
of all races and religions in the
new social order. A second jour
ney to the Island carried me to
Glen Cove the special retreat
of the House of Morgan and
other high dignitaries in world
finance. But here, too, colored
people are determined to share
in the new deal and day. At a
third assembly in Lynbrook be-
fore the members of a Jewish
Temple, it was heartening to see
the possibilities of minority CO.
operation in matters of mutual
concern. Turning my attention
towards Rockland County, a

self at a banquet, arranged by
the Hillburn branch of the
N.AA.C.P. in Spring Valley,
New York, where over three
hundred persons of all races,
creeds and colors sat down to
eat on terms of absolute equality
because of a common interest in
local problems. Many Of the
leading white citizens Of this
county, including members of
the famous ACTORS Colony"
who had rendered able assist
ance to the colored citizens in
their recent educational fight,
attended this affair to prove
their sincerity and interest in
problems affecting people of
color in this area. Will Geers of
Tobacco Road" fame, Helen
Hayes, beloved star, Maxwell
Anderson, prolific writer of
plays, the OMaIleys and scores
Of others joined in the celebra-
ton. Every speaker was thrilled
over such a naudience because
there they saw democracy in &C
ton.
Back again to the city, the
City-Wide Citizens Committee
on Harlem presented Carey
MacWilliams, the California
lawyer and author of Brothers
Under the Skin" at the Ethical
Culture School auditorium on
March 9 to a packed house. The
daring message Of the dynamic
sage from the West struck a re-
sponsiVe chord an dhis hearers
were given some real food for
thought in connection with, the
Sponsibility Of the Federal gov
eminent towards the minority
groups in this nation of ours.
The ideas expressed by this
speaker are sure to crystalline
into a demand for action. To-
night (Tuesday), the Springfield
Plan, a new approach in inter
racial and inter-cultural rela-
tions, will be presented by a ma
tive of that progressive New Eng
land CITY. AS at the MacWllams'
meeting, expect to see a host
of educators gathered to hear
how they can cope with the
problem of improving school re-
lations among young people.
These experiences prove that
democracy can and will work
provided people of all races and
religions accept it at face value.
The upsurge in many cities,
towns and villages can bring
about a return of that period

In line with OPA's gasoline
coupon endorsement campaign
farmers and all other off
highway users of gasoline are
to endorse "E" and "R" cOu-
pOns exchanged for gasoline
after March Is regardless of
where the exchange takes
place.
Previously, off-nlghway US
ers, who had gasoline delivered
to their own storage tanks,
were the only ration holders
not required to endorse cou-
ponS.
To make the task of en-
dorsement easier, farmers buy
ing gasoline for their tractors
and other gasoline powered
equipment, need only to write
their names and addresses only
once on each strip or block Of
coupons handed to the seller
as a unit. However, when cou-
pons are presented separately,
each one must be endorsed.
The new rule also permits
the endorsement to be made
with an ordinary pencil in
stead of requiring ink or in
delible pencil as formerly. Off
highway users may write their
endorsements either across the
whole strip or on just one OF
the coupons. OPA officials
pointed out that many or
highway consumers use a large
volume of gasoline and have to
handle lage number of cou-
pons, and that it would be
a heavy burden to ask them to
endorse every coupon.
