Polish Envoy Looks 10 U. 5.
And Britain for Justice
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 14.-Jan
Ciechanowski, Polish Ambassador to
the United States, said yesterday q
just peace can be achieved only
through bold joint American
British leadership"
In a speech at Rotary Club
luncheon, Mr.. Ciechanowski said
Russia should not be allowed to
partition Poland and that it does
not need the annexed territory to
strengthen its security.
A just and durable peace, he said,
cannot be based on power alone.
There can be no choice, the envoy
said, between the Atlantic Charter
and power political peace that would
allow any imperialist power to seize
other nations territory on the plea
lof strengthening its own security.
