VOICE FOR FRANCE

Since Yalta. the inclusion OF
France in the reparationS COM

accepted. But the latest proposal
TO include Poland has encountered
opposition from both Washington
and London.
The Russian view is that Poland
has suffered more than other
countries and thus has more in
terest in reparations.
Great Britain and the United
States have countered by saying
that if Poland is included, other
countries such as Belgium and
Holland should also be brought
into the commission.
