Russian British decisions on Po-
land, but Il find great difficulty
in discussing these matters be-
cause the attitude of the United
States has not been defined"
with precision. However, he said
"the president is aware of every
thing that has passed"
BARE, GRIM BONES
Placing before Britain's law
makers what he called the bare,
grim bones of the Polish prob
elm" Churchill made these
points:
. l. The Poles have no altcrna-
tive but to meet RusSia's de-
mands for a western frontier
along the Curzon Line.
2. In return, Poland would be
compensated with territory lat
Germany'S expense" including
Danzig and all of East Prussia
south and west to Konigsberg.
3. Mass transfers of popula-
ton would be made to prevent
minority disputes from troubling
the future peace.
Between the lines of Church
ills speech apparently lay agree
ment between Britain and Rus
STA on perhaps even more than
the problems of Poland.
SIGNIFICANT POLICY
His announcements took on
increased significance in the
light of Britain's policy in the
affairs of Europe's FESTIVE lands,
contrasting to the hands-off at
titude laid down by the United
States.
This was perhaps the first
chiefof-State declaration that
Germany would be sliced up af-
ter victory.
Our British principle" he
said, has been enunciated that
all territorial changes must
await the conference at the peace
table after victory has been
won, but TO that there is an ex-
ccption in principle. That eXcep-
ton is changes mutually agreed.
That must not be forgotten"
Of Poland's loss in land in the
east, he said flatly this is a
great gift they have to give 20
Russia"
Standing before a tensely at
tentive house, Churchill drew a
new map of central Europe.
If Poland gives Lvov and the
surrounding area on the south
known as the Curzon Line - if
Poland makes this concession
and these lands are joined to the
Ukraine, Poland will gain in the
north all of East Prussia south
and west to koenigsberg, includ-
ing Danzig, one of the most
magnificent cities in the world.
SCOTS AT FEARS
He scoffed at opposition pro-
tests made previously by Poles
here that a plan along this line
would mean sacrifice of one
third Of Poland.

forced from French soil save for
sacrificial rear-guardS. The Sew
enth was moving forward on
populous, industrial areas on a
35-mlle front.
Once the Seventh crosses the
Palatinate border, it will be
against the Siegfried Line. But
because of the speed of the ad-
vance, the line likely will be less
strongly manned than at any
other place. This was the Situa-
ton which precipitated the shat

Of Aachen and led TO the present
battle for the Roer.

The war is not over yet, and
there is no reason TO Slacken the
job of backing the fighting

pressed by representatives of the

employment officials at the local
Job conference held Thursday
at the Medea Hotel.

mcnt office said, in pointing out

There will be more deaths per
acre from here on in TO Berlin,
than there we're on the beach

TO Capt. Don Farris of the Army
Service Forces, who also express
sed the view that there should
be no loss of war manpoWer.
Don't give a celebration when

terrible, for they know that the
job will be only half done at that
time, and we should tighten up

power is needed to do the work
that SerViCcmen are doing.

Of the United States Employment
Service, stated that large
amount Of money has accumu-

views were also discussed by

In response to resolutions by the
Maryland State Game and Fish Pro-

land division of the Isaak Walton
League of America, calling on him
to aid in furthering such acquisi-
ton, Gov. O'Conor said immediate
steps would be taken to ascertain
the availability of any present Gov

The Governor said the Depart
ment Of State Forests and Parks
had been investigating the possible
water front sites for several months,
with the aim of purchasing the land
now being used by Government
agencies after the war.
The areas under consideration
would be used for recreational pur-

the Forestry Department was con-

land along the bay side of Calvert
