today DR.. Fagerstrom dwelt on
the breadth OF view and the high
sense OF justice which character
lied Lincoln and which dominated
his stand at all times. Looking
back to a period in Lincoln's lie
which is, perhaps. not so familiar
to most as the presidential years.
namely. when Lincoln served his
one and only term in Congress,
DR.. Fagerstrom showed that Lin
coin at that time opposed the dec
laration OF war on Mexico, and
even introduced a set OF resolu-
tions aimed at. revealing the film
siness Of the ground on which
President Polk sought war. Dr..
Fagerstrom then proceeded to
trace Lincoln's political career
through the debate as TO whether
slavery should be extended or kept
within existing territorial limits.
stressing Lincolns keen insight
into the problem As President,
Lincoln based his policies on the
paramount necessity OF preserving
the Union; and. when the end of
the war was in sight, his thoughts.

strongly intimated today that she
is planning TO give her official
blessing TO the establishment OF a
new Polish state independent OF the
exile government in London as a
basis for settling vexing Polish ter.
ritorial problems in her own way.
This development conceded with
a bitter Soviet verbal attack on
Bulgaria and sharp air raid on
the Finnish capital OF Helsinki-
events which were generally interp.
reted here as warnings to those two
countries to sever their conneC-
tons with Germany.
The tiponf on Russia's intentions
toward Poland came in a Moscow
broadcast recorded by the Soviet
monitor here declaring that as Red
Army troops drive out the Ger
man invaders "a new democratic
Poland will arise and all conditions
for friendly cooperation OF the
Ukrainian and Polish people viii
be created"
The broadcast added that the
establishment OF a separate foreign
office in the Ukrainian Soviet re-
public would create stimulus for
"a friendly rapprochment of these
states and may require conclusion
OF special agreements for strength
ening these friendly connections
between them"
This statement. limiting at pos
