Stain Breaks
Silence Over
Polish Issue

London, May 19-AP-Premier
Stain laid down three elementary"
conditions today for solution of
the Polish question, the first Of
which he said was recognition of
the present Warsaw provisional
government as the basic core" OF
a future Polish government OF ma
tional unity.
The Russian leader broke his
silence on the Polish issue as re-
ports were heard here that arrange
ments were being pressed for a
meeting of the Big Three. His
statements were contained in a
reply broadcast by the Moscow ra
do to letter written by Ralph
Parker, Moscow correspondent for
the London Times.
The second condition. Stain de-
clared, was that any future Polish
government must pursue a friend
ly policy with Russia, and not a pol
icy OF the Gordon sanitaire"
against the Soviet Union.
The third essential for solution
Of the problem he said, was the re-
solving Of the question of recon.
struction together with the Poles
who at present have ties with the
Polish people, ard not without
them"
At the same time Stain dismiss
ed as having mo connection with
the Polish issue the arrest of 16
lAa@T,.'- 80 he, 2oltstN-stndsFevound
which caused repeFcussioHs, In the
United Nations conference in San
Francisco.
These gentlemen we're arrested
in accordance with the law pro
tecting the Red Army rear from di-
versionists, law similar TO the
British defense OF the realm act, 4"
Stain said. THE arrest was car
ried out by Soviet military author
tiles in accordance with the agree
ment between the Polish provision
al government and the Soviet mil
itary command"
Stain branded as untrue state
rnents by the Polish exile govern
ment group in London that the ar
ifHsted meti were invited TO Russia
at the Invitation OF a Soviet Off
Ger TO discuss the Polish question.
"The Soviet authorities do not
and will not:conduct negotiations
with those who break the law on
the protection of the Red Army
rear" Stain asserted.
Both Great Britain and the Unit
ed States had been reported by

Gals TO have asked Russia for evil

MONTANA MVA
ASSN. OPEN new
HEADQUARTERS

HELENA, Mont, Oct. pa petit
ton campaign headquarters for Mon
tana MVA Association was set up In
Helena today. Purpose of the new or
ganization is to furnish information
and coordinate efforts of the various
groups that are already engaged in
circulation Of petitions requesting con
gress to act favorably on the MVA Bill
S. 555, now sponsored by Senators
Murray, LaFollette, Taylor, LANCER
and Aitken.
The new adjunct to the parent Mon
tana MVA Association is the out
growth of a meeting of directors Of
the association, held several days age
and following a dinner given to a
commission of Missouri state legisla
tors who were here for the purpose OF
Investigating MVA possibilities on the
ground.
The new organization has estab-
lished headquarters on the third floor
of the Pittsburg Block and is headed
by Jerome G. Locke, who has lately
returned from four years of engineer
ing service with the United States
army engineers, as a chief engineer
at Camp San Luis Obispo, Calf. Mr..
Locke is chairman of the organization
committee for MVA. When seen to-
day Mr. Locke said. Everybody
knows that a vast program of public
work is the only possible way TO furn-
ish employment to millions of return
ing veterans and war workers. After
sounding out sentiment for 10 days
in Montana | have not the slightest
doubt that an overwhelming majority
of Montana people favor the MVA bill
now in congress. They want cheap
power, more irrigation, real flood CON
troll and initiation of a vast program
for resource development that only
an authority type of legislation can
bring. l am very sure they do not
want to turn all the gravy from such
magnificent project back to small
group of absentee landlords, as has
so often been done in the past" Mr.
Locke also said that several types of
committees are contemplated in the
new organization but that selection of
these is not yet complete and com
plete campaign headquarters person
mel will not be announced for several
days yet.
