 Despite the fact that the Lub- iin-Warsaw Po1es were called all sorts of pro-Red names by the London Poles, they are now get ting just as independent and, to some extent, arrogant, as their London brothers.
 Or, as some neutral diplomats summarize it.:
 "A Pole will always be . Pole
 whether he's in London or Lub-
 lin."
 Illustrative of how the Poles are feeling their oats was a meeting which took place at Moscow last week regarding the Polish row with Czechoslavakia. The meet ing was attended by Russian Un- der Secreatry for Foreign Affairs Vyshinsky; also by ex-Premier Mikolajczyk of the London Poles, plus Edward Morowsky of the Lublin- Warsaw Government.
 Morowsky, though supposedly
 a Soviet puppet, started the fire
 works by ranting against the
 Czechs. He said the Czechs had
 no right to Teschen, small
 coal mining town which h:.l al-
 ways been Czech, but which the
 Poles snatched away from
 Czechoslovakia when she was
 powerless in Hitler's hands af-
 ter Munich.
 Soviet Commissar Vyshin- sky emphatically differed with Morowski.s He pointed out that the Poles have peaceful means for settling their disputes, should not use the aggressive tactics of the Nazis. Finally Morowski sub sided.
 SOVIET HOLDS SLIPS
 Other uncensored diplomatic re- cortS show that the Warsaw Lublin Poles are getting tougher and more independent and that the Soviet grip is slipping. Here are some developments which, for some queer reason, have been hushed up by European censor ship:
 l. Twelve Catholic papers are now being published in Poland. (There has been considerable op- position to the Lublin Poles by Catholic groups, on the grounds that the Church was being sup plessedD
 2. The Warsaw-Lublin Poles have indicated they want an al- liance witht he United States and Great Britain just as strong as that with the Soviet. This, they say, would guarantee Polish inde- pendence.
 3. Poles are already demand ing that the Red Army withdraw from Poland; also, that the Soviet secret police withdraw.
 4. The Lublin Poles also resent the latest Russian attitude of friendliness to the German people, which they criticize as symbol of unprinclpled Soviet bidding for German support in order to coun- ter balance the pro-Germanism of certain British leaders. 5. The Lublin Poles also resent Russia's opposition to Polish ex- pansion in the northwest, where the Poles would like to take over the German city of Stettin.
 6. Finally, the Lublin Poles re- sent the fact that the Russians now insist upon bringing outsid- CTS intot he Polish government in line witht he Hopkins -Stalin conversations. Stalin promised Hopkins to give ex-Premier Mi koiajczyk of London and other Polish leaders Cabinet seats in the Lublin government, which means that some of the Lublin Poles will have to give up their Cabinet posts. Naturally. they are sore.
 So it looks as if the Polish pup pet pot, which once boiled against The London exiled Poles, is now simmering against its friends in Moscow.
 HANDS OFF CHURCHILL
 One of the weil-kept secrets of the last presidential campaign was a statement Winston Churchill prepared urging the American people to re-elect Franklin Roose- welt.
 The statement, however, was never made public. Roosevelt heard what Churchill was plan ming to do and stopped it. He ex- plained to the British Prime Min-
