American Poles Ask
Clear Foreign Policy
|Accenting Freedom

By the Associated Press.
The United States, in its foreign
policy, must speak a language
commensurate with our military and
economic power" American Polish
Associations representatives said
today.
The group, who said they repre-
sented 100000 olsh-descended
Americans In eight Eastern States,
held a news conference in the Office
of Senator Walsh, Democrat, of
Massachusetts, after two days of
meetings with officials of the State
Department and UNRRA and mem
bers of Congress.
England dares to take stand.
Evidently England has drawn line
beyond which somebody cannot go.
England has foreign policy" de-
clared Joseph Kaszubowski, leader
of the group.
"Yes," he answered when asked if
he implied that the United States

zens, not as Polish citizens" as
serted spokesman after Mr.. Kaszu-
bowsh presented what they want
in United States foreign policy, in
cluding:
Further lease-lend help be
granted to our Allies and especially
to Soviet Russia on conditions of
strict adherence to our principles
and war aims.
America must speak language
commensurate with our military
and economic power. We demand
that it be clearly stated by our for
eign> policy that we shall defend
the right to freedom and justice
of all victims"
Senator Walsh stated, "I want to
do all possible to bring about the
independence of Poland and Polish
people. There have been and will
be opportunities to bring powerful
pressure to get Russia to concede
independence of Poland. We should
take advantage of opportunities to
bring pressure"
Mr.. Kaszubowski said Poland Is
the only nation of Europe still de-
flying Communism and imperialism
without compromise" and that the
people he represented agree with
Secretary of State Stettinius that
the American stand is that the
people of each liberated nation
should choose their own form of

MOSCOW, Feb. 20 - (RD -
All territory held by the Ger

is evidence that the Nazi trans

is becoming disorganized, dis

ique placed the Russians six
miles northeast of Pskov at the
town of Toroshino, on the Luga-

A dispatch to the army news
paper Red Star from the Pskov

the roads are so clogged with
wrecked German transport, guns
and tanks that special Soviet
cleanup squads have been form
ed to clear them away to enable
the Red army to march through

TEMPO RISES
With colder weather now pre-
vailing on the northern battle
fields, night fighting is increas-

Farther south, Gen. M. M.

Pork and Beef
Ration Raised
Point VoIues to
be Cut Sunday

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29-(P)
Sharp reductions in the ra-
ton point values of pork and
many beef cuts will 60 into eff
feet Sunday but values of veal,
lamb, mutton, butter, cheese,
lard and all other fats and dairy
products will remain unchanged
through March, the Office of
Price Administration said today.
Only the values of spare ribs
are unaffected in a general re-
duction of pork points. The cuts
range from one to three points,
bringing the average ration val
ue of pork down to IL points a
pound. Beef cuts used for roasts,
rib steaks and stews are also
reduced.
The point value of canned and
ready-to-eat beef and pork
items are reduced from l to A
points, while many variety
meats and some types of sausage
also are decreased in ration
cost.
The reductions came as a sur
prise since the OPA had indicat-
ed that point values would be
boosted steadily during the next
few months. Marketing of more
livestock than had been antici-
pated was given as the principal
reason for the reduction.

Plans for the Primary Elec-
ton in Mount Clemens for Mon
day, March 6, will be officially
Cancelled this week by the City
Commission, because only the
incumbent candidates for city
office filed petitions for nomina-
ton up to the deadline Friday
afternoon.
The election, on the first Mon
day in April, will itself be for
mality, due to the absence of op-
position candidates, but despite
this fact, must be held according
to law, City Clerk Joseph H.
Matthews states.
The only subject Of local in
terest for the April Election is
the matter of revision of the
City Charter, which the City
Commission recently decided to
place before the voters for a Yes
or No vote. However, with the
anticipated lack of interest, and
q probable poor turnout of vot-
ers, it is possible that the Char
ter vote may be deferred until
the early State Primary, In
July.
