that Britain and her Allies will

Addressing the party's national
convention, he asserted Britain S

was taken to be a reference to
the United States.
But he stressed that Britain had
no wish ito live on the charity
or generosity of any nation" and,
moreover, I'VE must never agree
to found our economic life on the
indulgence or favor even Of Allies
we most dearly cherish
Another apparent reference to
the United States-and to Russia
was his statement that in view Of
its war record, Britain will have
no postwar need to seek the ad-
vice even of our most honored AL
lies as to how we should conduct
ourselves with regard to our own
affairs" his remark. seemed aim

Poles-In-Exile Say
Russia Blocked Bid
To Peace Conference

LONDON. March Is -W.D- The
Polish government in London
struck back sharply today at the
big powers for failing to invite it
to the San Francisco conference
of the United Nations, implying
in an acidly-worded note that Rus
STA had blocked the invitation.
The note, addressed to the Unit
ed Nations, failed to mention Rus
STA by name but said only one
great power-obviously the Soviet
Union-failed to recognize the Lon
don Polish government. Then it
described the omission of an invi-
tation as an application of the
veto right by "a great power"
''The Polish government, as the
sole legal independent representa-
tive of the Polish state, emphati-
cally insists upon their indisputable
right to take part in the world
security conference and solemnly
protest against their omission from
invitations to the San Francisco
conference" the note said.
