Priest Visiting Soviet
Only as Individual,
Hull Emphasizes

The Polish American visitors to
Russia--the Rev. Stanislaus Orle-
mansH of Springfield, Mass, and
Prof. Oscar Lange of Chicago-are
in no sense representatives of this
country. the State Department
maintains.
Secretary Hull, asked for COM
ment yesterday. said they made the
journey as private citizens upon the
invitation of the Soviet government
and with no official status. Other
department officials explained that
after Moscow had invited them, the
State Department could not very
well deny them a passport to go to
a friendly country which Is an
American ally.
The trips were vigorously citicized
yesterday on the House floor and in
Catholic circles.
Political implications of the trips
center around the fact both men,
the priest and the Chicago Uniyer-
sity professor, are influential IN
Polish circles in this country. The
Poles here have generally opposed
Soviet Russian policy toward Po-
land, particularly its plans TO draw
the postwar Russian Polish border
west of that existing In 1889. 1t is
assumed the Moscow government
plans to acquaint them with its side
Of the controversy.
Msgr. Michael j. Ready, general
secretary of the National Catholic
welfare Conference, declared Father
Orlemanski had not consulted any
of his superiors in the church be-
fore making the visit. Msgr. Ready
said he had heard story that word
of the visit was given in advance
to "a high Catholic oficial in WASH
ington" and that Father Orleman-
skis passport was issued only after
that official failed to protest.
81 do not know what the State
Department may think of this" he
added. I'm any case, it is false that
any Catholic oficial, high or low,
was consulted or informed"
Representative Lesinsd, Democrat,
Of Michigan, speaking briefly ON the
House floor and expanding his re-
marks In the Congressional Record,
said the two men were received by
Premier Stain as American repre-
sentatives" and characterized them
az TRAITORS to Christianity. the land
Of their forefatheYs PolanO and
the principles Of Americanism."

POSTAL WORKERS
SEEK PAY RAISE

Dayton postal employees plan to
circulate approximately $4,000 ap-
peals for Dayton citizens to sup
port a bill for pay raises to letter
carriers and postal clerks, en-
ployees of the post office revealed
here yesterday.
According to 800 carriers and
clerks, the sentiment was that
they stood by their routes and
cases to give the people the full
benefit of their experience during
a period when the cost of living has
overcome their earning capacity
and industry has tempted them
with wartime salaries.
The circular points out that the
postal employees have had no sal
ary increase since 1925 and pro-
posed increase amounts to $400 a
year or % percent for each en-
ployee.

he had heard about the heavy

the North African championship,
but he had not seen him.
The champion was a real hit

Maly of San Antonio, Tex, who
was in charge of the Louis troupe.

tour, which icluded 1876 boxing ex-
hibitions, covered more than 10000
miles, Capt. Maly reported.
After Louis had remarked that
he would like to defend his title if
the war is over soon enough, one
newspaperman a S k e d what he
would consider "soon enough"
ooh, next week some time" Joe
replied
Capt. Maly told about how six
German prisoners recognized Joe
in Italy. They besieged the cham
pion for autographs, handshakes
and backslaps, he said. Although
Joe and his team of boxers ate c.
rations and K-rations most of the
time, they were we'll fed when they
got to Italy and entertained 1t.
Gen. Mark Clark's men. The gen.
erals chef, one of Louis boosters,
gave Joe special attention, Capt.
Maly remarked.

meal, steak, etc., | made certain

grinned. He added, "He's a Won

Weighing 215 pounds, Joe will

| Red Armisiice Terms
Get Mixed Reception

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 25.-Reportec
Russian terms for an armistice with
Finland, especially those regarding
the disposition Of German troops
garrisoned in Northern Finland, are
understood here to have met with
q mixed reception in Finnish circles
The London correspondent OF
Dagens Nyheter listed today six So
Wet armistice demands from unoffi-
cial but well-informed nom British
sources who he said were very opti-
mistic about Finland,s chances OF
quitting the war.
Must Intern German Troops.
According to the dispatch, the
Moscow conditions included:
l. The 1910 winter peace border.
2. German troops in Northern
Finland must be interned for the
duration.
3. If Finland desires, the Red
Army will march into the country to
assist in putting the Germans under
control, but Fnlands decision on
this point will be voluntary.
4. If Finland and Russia agree on
the Red Army marching in, Russia
will guarantee to retire after the
military operation against the Ger
mans is completed.
5. Moscow makes no demands for

8. Demobilization OF the Finnish
Army and war damages are to be
settled by later negotiations.
Opposed to Garrison Plan.
Against this optimistic approach
was the statement Of trustworthy
Finn just arrived in Sweden who
said that Finland was profoundly
disturbed by what Is understood to
be one Of the Russian demands
that the Finnish Army team up with
the Russians In a drive to extermi-
nate the seven German divisions
now in Finland.
Reported Russian insistence on
this condition, plus a demand that
Soviet troops garrison the principal
Finnish cities for the duration,
neither Of which were included in
the version reported from London,
is vigorously opposed by the Firms,
and constitutes, the informant as
serted, the biggest obstacle to
eventual peace.

European manufacturer who came to
America IN 1910 a broken man. He had
lost everything; his factories had been
destroyed by bombing and occupied by
the Nazis. 1t looked as if he could never

well; he was good organizer; he offered

IHEN l remembered that the defeat of
France m 1871 had brought forth the
great generation of military chiefs who
won the War of 1914. Foch, Lyautey,
IN their young days, had been haoed and
hardened by disaster. And this is true not
only of France. When did the British see
the need of throwing into the scales the
full weight of their production and man
power? After the defeat IN Flanders.
When did the American people realize that
this was their war and that their freedom =
was at stake? After Pearl Harb0.
Defeat can produce one of two effects.
A nation without stamina or vitality may
give up the fight and bow to the victor.
But nation that knows its own latent
strength will remain confident that rear-
rection is only question of will, patience
and courage There is no permanent de-
feat, save for those who accept defeat.
And the same is true of individuals.
Each of us, in the course of life, meets
with major disaster Some acknowledge
