The Polish Problem

Prime Minister Churchills report
on his recent conference with Pre-
er-Marshal Stain can be read
only with mixed feelings of encour-
agement and disappointment. 1t is
all to the good that highly salts
factory working agreement has been
reached regarding the problems of
Southeastern Europe, but it is un-
fortunate that no outstanding prog
ress appears to have been made
toward a settlement of the complex
Russian-Polish dispute.
Mr.. Churchill has frequently de-
fined his own position on this sub
ject. He believes that the Russians
have right to expect territorial
concessions from the Poles but that
Poland must at the same time be
guaranteed a future as a strong and
independent nation. He believes,
further, that a prolonged delay in
settling the problem will have the
effect of increasing the division
between the Polish government in
London and the Soviet-sponsored
Polish Committee in Lublin and of
"hampering the common action
which the Poles and Russians and
the rest of the Allies are taking
against Germany"
Judging from his latest statement,
there can be little doubt that Mr..
Churchill is growing somewhat i'm
patient with the situation. Asserting
that the Soviet Union, like Britain
and the United States, wants to see
Poland restored to. strength and
freedom, he argues against "indeci-
sion and protracted negotiations"
and implicitly criticizes the Poles in
London by declaring that if they
had taken the advice we rendered
them at the beginning of this year
the additional complication pro-
duced by the formation of the
Polish National Committee of Lib
Grafton in Lublin would never have
arisen"
The factor of mutual trust and
confidence seems to figure very
largely in the problem. On the one
hand, Moscow dislikes and suspects
certain elements in the Polish gov
ernment in London, and on the
other hand, the Polish government
in London has serious miSgivings
about the Lublin committee, feeling
that 1t may represent a Russian
move designed to prepare the way
for the creation of a puppet regime
in Warsaw when the Germans are
finally driven out of Poland. If all
parties to the dispute-the London
Poles, the Lublin Poles and the Rus
sians-could somehow Danish their
doubts about each other, settle
ment would probably be reached in
fairly rapid order, but that is
ccnsummation more easily wished
for than achieved
Mr.. Churchill, however. feels that
his visit to Moscow, apart from the
good 1t accomplished in other re-
spects, has at least resulted in
moving the Polish problem nearer
to solution, and he urges that the
Poles and Russians lose no time in
resuming their talks. The door to
an understanding, in other words, is
still open, and with honest give
and-take on both sides, the dispute
can be ended satisfactorily. Such
an ending, it need hardly be added,
is eminently desirable, for it would
so far toward insurirg that the
next peace in Europe will be a
sound one.

Keeping Streetcors RoIIinq

In normal times, opposition to
converting older-type streetcars for
one-man operation came principally
from two sources. The Public Util-
tiles Commission was anxious for
the transit company to obtain new
equipment and on this ground re-
sisted any tendency to prolong the
life of old-style cars by conversion
that promised no improvement in
service. There was also opposition
to manpower economies when there
was a Surplus of men who needed
Jobs. The war, OF course, and the
company's own demonstrated efforts
to obtain as much new equipment
AS possible have changed the picture.
Conversion to one-man operation is
now put forward AS necessary stem
to utilize rapidly diminishing
supply Of manpower to the best
advantage, not to the company, but
to the public. In it's latest petition
to convert eighty-four cars, the
company points out that with the
loss OF as many as a hundred en-
ployes month, for whom few re-
placements are available, as many
as flfty-five streetcars and fifty
eight buses are left idle during rush
hours because men cannot be found
to run them. The Public Utilities
Commission is the best Judge of the
matter, but 1t would seem that on
the face OF it everything should be
done which can be done in the
public interest to man the maximum
number of streetcars and buses at
all times.

Letters to The Star
What Dollars Given Over Here
Do for Those Overseas
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In December. 1912. a "GI Joe" was
sent overseas. In January, he wrote
that he was Somewhere in England"
He went to great lengths to describe the
hospitality and warmth with which the
English people received his unit How
ever, he soon found that, although the
English people were kindness in them
selves, 1t was impossible for them to
offer entertainment and hospitality to
every one. He was miles from the near
est village. He was on almost constant
duty. Even when he had leave, which
was not very often, he found that the
sudden influx of so many soldiers into
the small village was tremendous; they
soon crowded the one tiny cinema and
the nearby saloon.
Joe's family, here at home, wondered
why he didn't write to them more
often" Joe couldn't tell them that the
few letters he managed to send were
fashioned while he sat on his cot in the
dark, maneuvering small pocket fash
light SO as not to awaken his tired
buddies. Joe didn't want his family to
worry about him.
Nearly year later Joes letters ex-
pressed an eager undertone. He talked
about the latest movies; worked out a
problem by mail; talked about the latest
fashions, and even carried on a long
distance discussion with his wife about
the plans for the home they some day
wanted to build!
And why?
Help From Home.
Well, one day a jeep came up, and
out stepped couple of people who went
to work to see that Joe had something
to do" in his spare time> They put up
huge tent, installed movie protector
and sound equipment and showed the
latest movies tsome of them even be-
lore we Washingtonians saw themD
They managed from somewhere to get
piano into that wilderness. A GI
volunteer crew took over the refresh
ments and entertainment for spell
until the WACS and more USO workers
and Red Cross workers could arrive.
Now, Joe is doing some constructive
planning, thinking and reading. He's
spending most of his off-duty hours at
the USO-writing letters; reading the
latest books and magazines; seeing a
movie; or even helping his buddies to
organize an orchestra. He's even learned
to work in plastics with materials YOUR
money bought. He has donated his
dictionary and world almanac to the
USO library. and now the books YOUR
money bought are on the shelf with
them
He has been able to do this because
you, here in America, helped by
giving to the Community War Fund!
1t has been said that no one who
has relative or friend overseas needs
TO be urged to contribute to the Com
munity War Fund. 1t is true. for Joe
has seen the USO "in action" and "it
was something to write home about!"

The romance of q famous ath-
lete and typical American girl is
the real-life basis of The Pride
of the Yankees" Samuel Goldwyn's
newest production for RKO Radio
release with Gary Cooper starring.
The picture is now at the Capitol
Theatre.
Cooper portrays the noted New

Gehrig, whose untimely death from
paralysis ended one of the most in
spring careers in modern sports
annals. Millions of Americans knew
of Gehrig's amazing exploits on the
diamond but very few knew the
man himself, or of his courageous
struggle upward from poverty-and
it is the human behind the scenes
story of the former janitor's son
and the Chicago girl he married

He said that everywhere he went
people were talking about coming

Mayor Lucas said that Alaskans
are very fortunate in being able to

Mayor Lucas said he had fine
visit with Mayor Fiorello LaGuardla

FIRE LAST NIGHT
IS FALSE ALARM

What was thought to be cause
for an alarm last night was nothing
but the usual burning of trash on
the property of the Alaska Juneau
Gold Mining Company. So
The fires are usually lighted dur
ing the day and thereby do not cause
any special excitement; however,
this particular trash heap, most
powder boxes, was set ablaze at
night and consequently was mis-
taken for the real thing"
The fire department answered the
call, which was 1-9, shortly after 10
o'clock
