Wars, He Says
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Feb. 27.-Prime Min
lister Churchill declared today
the great powers were completely
prepared for the collapse of
Germany, asserted the proposed
Polish frontier would mot SOW
the seeds of future wars" and
gave his personal assurance of
Russia's good faith in plans for
the peace.
The British leader demanded a
vote of confidence from Commons
on the Crimea plans for a peaceful
world, challenging particularly
those who have criticized the Polish
decisions.
He promised drastic and effective
steps Ito render offensive action by
Germany utterly impossible for gen.
erations to come" and called on
Germany again to surrender.
Mr.. Churchill said the United
States would play "a vitality impor-
tant part" in a new, far stronger
world security league which will
not shrink from establishing it's will
against the evil-doer" by force of
arms.
Called Fairest Division.
Giving the first public account
by one Of the principals at the mo-
mentous Crimea Conference, he
termed the proposed Polish bound
airy the fairest division which can
be made between the two countries"
Premier Stain has given "the most
solemn declarations" that Poland s
sovereignty and independence would
be maintained, he said. and this
decision has now been joined in both
by Great Britain and by the United
States"
Then Mr.. Churchill added:
The impression I brought back
from Crimea and from all my other
contacts is that Marshal Stain and
the Soviet leaders wish to live in
honorable friendship and equality
with the western democracies. I
feel also. that their word Is their
bond. I know of no government
which stands on its obligations more
solidly than the Soviet government. /"
He declared the objective of the
great powers was "to save the
world-not to rule it, and that "the
world organization cannot be based
upon the dictatorship of the great
powers"
Mr.. Churchill interrupted his ad-
dress an hour for luncheon.
At one point the Prime Minister
delivered a passage which indicated
that the question of Russian par
ticipation in the war with Japan
may have been at least raised at
the Yalta conference.
Question Is Raised.
He said the San Francisco world
security conference opening April
Is would bring together AL those
representatives of the United Ma
tons who have declared war upon
Germany and Japan by the LIST
of March, 1945, and who have
signed the United Nations confer
ence declaration"
Among diplomatic and parlia-
mentary observers the question was
Immediately raised of whether Mr..
Churchill meant that Russia might
declare war on Japan by March l.
the day after tomorrow-or whether
he merely was referring to the
tickets of admission to San Fran
cisco for several smaller powers.
The British Press Association,
semiof1lcial reporter of the Com
mons proceedings, first gave the
Prime Minister'S words as Germany
and Japan"
In later version of the text itself
the words were Germany or Japan. u
Then, IN response to query, the
Press Association corrected the text
to the original version, leaving it
stand at Germany and Japan"
Mr.. Churchill announced for the
first time that Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden and Deputy Prime
Minister Clement Attlee would
represent Britain at San Francisco
Drastic Steps Promised.
In shaping the new peace, I'VE
intend to take steps far more drastic
and effective than those which fol-
lowed the last war so as to render
offensive action by Germany utterly
impossible for generations to come, -
the British leader said.
"If we were confronted tomorrow
with a collapse of the German
forces, there is nothing that has not
been foreseen and arranged before
hand by the European Advisory
Commission" he said.
The Prime Minister gave no hint
as to when he believed that collapse
would come, although he did say
that the war in Europe had been
