The Death of GLAND

L cordance with the imperial and imperious am
billions Of Soviet Russia.
This was made clear to the British Parliament
by Prime Minister Churchill in his remarkable
speech discussing Britain's foreign affairs.
The eastern and richest section of Poland
one-third of the nation-is to pass entirely into
Russian sovereignty.
The rest of Poland, including provinces an
nexed from Germany under the pretext of COM
pensating Poland for the loss to Russia of her own
territory in the east, is to be under government
sponsored by Russia.
Thus, good part of Poland ceases to exist
altogether as a Polish entity, being Russian by
conquest and absorption. "
A ND the remaining part of Poland is permitted
\ to be Polish in name only, being Russian in
fact.
All of these things have been accomplished by
Russia by her own decision, made without consent
or consultation on the part of her allies being
conditions thereof.
The British government has had no real part
in the decisions but acquiesces in them.
The American government has had no part in
them, but does not dispute them.
AS for Poland itsef-wel, Mr. Churchill real
isticaly and cynically summed up the situation of
the Poles by saying they "have no alternative but

Noted Historian Dies

LONDON. Dec. IS dNS)-
Philip Guedalls, noted author and
historian. died today in London
hospital at the ace of SIS.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-12-17

Mr.. CHURCHILL put this situation before the
-lNi British Parliament as "the bare grim bones
of the Polish problem
He PRETENDED TO see the attainment of
Russia maximum ambitions in Poland as "rea-
sonable."
But he knows BETTER.
He knows it was the original violation of
Poland by Germany, in which Russia participated
as full partner of Germany which plunged
Britain-and ultimately the United States-into
the present war
He knows it was only because of subsequent
falling OUT between the German and Russian
partners IN the violation Of Poland that Britain
and the United States found themselves allied with
Russia.
He knows that the present violation of Poland
by Russia ALONE is as wrong as the original
violation in partnership with Germany, and only
changes the original situation by leaving one
lackal instead of two devouring "the grim bare
bones" of Poland
He knows perfectly we'll and best of all that
Britain and the United States were brusquely and
completely ISOLATED from the decisions about
Poland, and only acquiesce in them because they
can DO NOTHING ABOUT THEM
WHAT an ronical, and grimy humorous, turn
w this tragic situation of Poland gives to the
old conceptions of isolation"
There have long been internationalists and
lnterventionists in Britain and the United States
who have blamed everything bad in the world
upon their own countrymen whom they called
"isoationists"
To these elements, the simple cure for all the
worlds ills seemed to be for Britons and Ameri-
cans to intervene in all the worlds affairs
whether or not they were the legitimate business
of Britain and America
RUT Russia has not only shown herself to be the
l. greatest "solationst" country in the world,
but has even delegated Britain and the United
States to an enforced and humjliating role of
isolation.
Poland is indeed dead
But just as dead as Poland is the ideastic
dream of those n,Britain and the United States
who thought opportunistic military alliance
with Russia, compelled by "a common danger,
would result in world peace sincerely and hon.
estly established by consultative and deliberate
methods. ANV
N And equally as dead as Poland and this ideal!
istic dream is the Atlantic Charter, which, was
supposed to safeguard the sovereignty and rights
of self-determination of such little" peoples as
the Poles.
For, as conservative, member of Parliament said
at the conclusion of Mr. Churchll's speech
The Atlantic Charter has become ghost, and that
ghost laid today"
