On Poland, the conference adop-
ted this resolution:
The governments of the United
Nations express to the people OF
Poland their sympathy and adml-
ration. They hope that the constltu-
ton of Polish government, recog-
nized as such by the sponsoring
nations, will make it possible for
Polish delegates to come and take
part as soon as possible in the work
of the conference.

damage upon the smaller nations,
and would in the end ruin or the
threat of ruin upon the powerful
nations"

Brazil has never hesitated, when
wounded in its sovereignty, or in
virtue of international obligations,
to assume the responsibilities and
the burdens of war.
