Power Politics Cr
Raised in Commons in
Polish Issue Debate
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-A cry of
power politics" and a charge
that the Atlantic Charter was
violated in the Big Three's treat
ment of the Polish issue were
raised in Commons today amid
reports that Prime Minister
Churchill would demand a con-
fldence vote next week in con-
nection with the Crimea confer
ence decisions. =
Mr.. Churchill told Commons that
the Atlantic Charter lis guide, not
a rule"
He made the statement in reply
to a query from Maurice Petherick,
a Conservative, on whether Article
II of the charter applied to Po-
land. Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
That article records the powers as
desiring to see no territorial changes
that do not accord with the wishes
Of the people concerned.
Eden Questioned.
Douglas Lloyd Savory, Conserva-
tive, touched off brief exchange on
the governments foreign policy
when he asked Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden:
"In view of the fact that Eastern
Galicia has never been in posses
sion of Russia, what evidence does
to the east of Poland's Curzon Line
have any desire to be incorporated
into Rpssia?"
Mr.. Churchill is scheduled to give
a first-hand report in Commons next
Tuesday and Wednesday on the
Crimean conference.
Mn, Eden replied to Mr.. Savorys
query with the assertion that the
House knew the strength of the
Ukrainian national movement
which has existed for many years
in this territory" but added that
the government could not be ex-
pected to have detailed, factual and
up-to-date evidence on the ques-
ton"
Answer Cheered.
Mr. Savory drew burst of cheers |
as he snapped back with, Are you
not bound by the Atlantic Charter
to consider these populations be-
fore transferring them?"
(Under solution of the Polish
problem previously outlined by
Mr.. Churchill, minority popula-
tions living in the land affected
by the changed frontier would be
shifted to territory under DOM
ination by their own nationality
This Mr. Eden said, lis not
purely a Polish Russian question.
1t is also very much a Ukrainian
question. and have not the factual,
up-to-date information as to that,
although I know there is large
Ukrainian majority in this area"
Laborite Richard Stokes broke in
to ask: Then how can the govern
ment have arrived at their decision
if they have not the factual in
formation?"
Further Debate Promised.
IF you wish to debate this fur
ther I will gladly do SO next week.
Mr.. Eden responded.
Amid cheers Maj. Gen. Sir Alfred
Knox, conservative, cried out: rs
not this surrender to power pol
itics?"
Shifting to Anglo-French rela-
lions. a Laborite member asked
whether MI Churchills dramatic
offer in 1910 to the French for a
union of the two peoples had been
repeated recently
Mr.. Eden replied that it had not
been renewed.
He was then asked whether the
time had arrived when it is pos
sible to make a fresh approach
or are you convinced that
circumstances are so different
that such an offer is not desir-
able?"
Tersely Mr. Eden suggested there
now existed differences in the two
circumstances" and added, what
is now being discussed is posi-
bility of an arrangement Of another
kind" He did not elaborate.

World Fisheries Affect World Peace

 Ocean fishing takes place where vessels flying diff ferent flags inevitably meet Rivalry naturally ensues International location and type of operation which completely differenates fishing from industries pur sued on land, gives it it's international significance
 In order to deal successfully with international fishery problems, several things are necessary l. knowledge of the history of the law of territorial waters; Acknowledge of the history of fisheries; g. appreciation of the distinction between fisheries and land occupations; 4a willingness devise and adopt ideas and procedures applicable to present

Camp Lee, Va. The sun was blaz- ing hot. Suddenly 1,500 G. Is were rounded up and commanded to attend a tennis match.
 Two famous tennis stars, Bill Til- den and Vincent Richards, were to stage an exhibition tennis show for the benefit of the Army. Tilden and Richards were just about as reluctant as the c. I.'s-if the truth were told. But they were trying to do their patriotic duty and en- certain the boys
 The enforced spectators, however, with guards placed at every exit did not appreciate the patriotism. They took it out by considerable razzing of the players. Finally Bill Tilden stopped playing, picked up a loudspeaker alongside the court, and addressed the crowd
 T don't know whether you men are here under compulsion or not, " he said, but if you are I'll speak to your officers and see if they won't let those who want to leave, leave. It's difficult enough to play out here in. the hot sun without being razzed."
 Gen. James H. Johnson, Com mander of Special Services at Camp Lee, then took the mike and ex- plained to the men that tennis is not like baseball and you can't heckle the players.
 Unquestionably, the G.I.'s didn't mean to be rude to two tennis stars who were giving their time without pay Undoubtedly, also, General Johnson wanted to get a sufficient crowd for the tennis match, and that is why he com- manded the G. Is to attend. But the moral is that on hot Sat- urday afternoon, c. Is don't want to be commanded to do anything Let's blame it all on the weather Copyright, 1915, by Bell Syndicate. Inc.)

which had not been equipped with beacon lights or air aids, etc. To have installed these would have cost the company $l,200,000
 However, Elliott's then brother in-law, Robert Donner, was a di- rector of Northwest AirlineS Also, upon Elliott's recommendation his friend, Eugene Vidal obtained the key job of director of the air bureau in the Commerce Depart ment, which ruled on the construc- tion of air aids at government eX- pense. Northwest Airlines then got the benefit of government installed beacon lights and air aids up to S665, ,445
 Elliott also worked for the Paul Cornell Advertising Agency which in turn was employed by E. L. Cord, chief owner of the American Airlines to make survey of trans American Airlines, which became part of American Airlines. Elliott personally made the survey, with the assistance of Eugene Vidal.
 At about this time, the govern ment spent $465,O75 for the Nash ville- Washington route of American Airways.
 It was shortly after these opera tions for the airlines that Elliott moved to greener fields in Texas.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

SATURDAY, JUNE g


 Benefic aspects rule today which should be favorable for keen mental vision The Navy is under planetary direction that presages postwar ex- pansion of service.
 HEART AND HOME
 Improvement in the American standard of living is prognosticated Many new inventions will add to household comforts. A sense of econ omic security will contribute much to domestic happiness. Government safeguards against want will provide for the aged and handicapped.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 The stars presage stabilization of money values and wise management of our financial affairs. Congress will discuss at great length policies on which national prosperity de- pends.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Many statesmen will succumb to overwork before final peace is att tained, the seers prophecy. For this reason methods of decentraliz- ing the Federal Government or re- lieving executives and legislators will be widely advocated.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Underground propaganda will fo- ment discontent in liberated coun- tries. Unavoidable delays in provid- ing needed aid will cause resent ment among persons whose suffer- ings have weakened minds as well as bodies.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of exciting ex- periences which should be fortunate Love affairs for many are indicated. Children born on this day probab- ly will be bright and individualiStic. These Cancer folk succeed best when permitted to follow their own inclinationS.

 Whether he performed a lobby ing job for the A and P. chain store iii return for the $200,0OO loan from A. and P. President John Hartford is not known, but it is fact that Elliott sometimes lob bied for the Texas utilities and cer- tain airlines.

SUCCESS AT SAN FRANCISCO!

Yesterday, under San Francisco dateline, it was announced to q waiting world that charter embrac- ing the views of 50 United Nations had been wrapped up in world document designed to maintain peace "
 The goal of the world security conference has been achieved in slightly less than two months from the first gathering of the multitude of delegates There still remain technical problems to occupy the delegates attention for few days, but the real work of the conference is accomplished.
 The charter as finally whipped into shape is per haps not all that everyone might wish It does not contain the full desires of each of the nations that participated in it's writing-perhaps even, experience will prove it unavoidable but that does not seem as important as the fact that agreement has been reached from diverse held by the delegations when first they sat down together
 At several times during the conclave obstacles were raised that at first seemed insurmountable But all were finally overcome The spirit of compromise held sway due the fact that all the nations though differing individually in their visions of the ideal organization, had common purpose-to do all in their power to insure the world against visitation of the conflict and devastation from which this con- ference had sprung.
 It is the fact that the common urge for peace sufficiently strong to subugate national aims that Seems most important No matter what the defects of the charter drawn long the spirit that brought it about continues to prevail on world wide basis the goal of the charter and the conference that produced it-an era of peace-seems secure.
 (Mingling with United Nations diplomats and advisors at the San Francisco conference was a committee representing the Pacific Coast fishing in dstry This committee was active in seeking recogn- ton of the problems of the industry related to international peace and security.
 
 his views the subject in the following article, is member of that committee He is also Chairman of the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission and Secretary Of the International Fisheries Comis sion.
