glance TO the British sovereign and have
their national colors and emblems re-
moved. The Polish commanders have
pointed out to the British imperial staff
that unlike the French Foreign Legion
the men who are outside Poland are
neither adventurers nor criminals who
have sought refuge as fighting men
under foreign flag. Circumstances
have brought them into,their present
situation and they have been fighting
wherever the Allied high command sent
them because they were convinced that
their struggle against the Axis would
lead to the liberation of their country
and stheir return to Poland as free
citizens.
While at present they are willing to
60 wherever military necessity requires,
they are intensely patriotic and do not
wish to pledge their allegiance to a
foreign government. They are anxious
to return to their homeland but do not
believe that under the present setup
they can return as free men. From
reports they have received, most of the
officers and men fear that their return
would be only temporary and that after
a short while they would be deported to
some far away place beyond the Urals.

The suggestion of the Polish govern
ment in exile does not have much chance
of being considered by the Big Three.
While it is admitted in official quarters
in Washington that there is good deal
of merit to the proposal, Premier Stain
is known to be opposed to any such
steps. The most that the American and
British governments have been able to
obtain from him was the inclusion OF
the three non-Lublin Poles in the War
saw government In which they obtained
relatively minor posts.
Moscow and Warsaw are reported to
feel that elections held under the con-
troll of outsiders" are an infringement
of Poland's sovereignty. So far as the
Allied governments are concerned, the
Polish question has been fully settled
Poland is now officially fully sovereign
state, hence the claim that the presence
OF American and British troops on her
territory to supervise purely domestic
situation Is regarded as not In keeping
with the ideas of freedom and liberty.
The presence of Red troops, however,
cannot be officially objected to, because
they are in Poland under the pretext OF
helping the new government keep law
and order on the basis of the treaty OF
alliance between Moscow and Warsaw.

During the next two years he had
smoother sailing. As Allied power
began to build up in the Pacific,
with the United States able to divert
more men and more materiel to
that theater, all doubts as to the
security of Australia were dissipated
and the eventual defeat of Japan
became certainty. But the anxieties
and the stresses of 1912 and 1943
had taken too heavy toll of the
Prime Minister'S strength and, after
long illness, he succumbed to a
heart ailment with lung complica-
tions. OF him, 1t can be truly said
that he was casualty in the fight
of free men to remain free.

This Changing World
BY Constantine Brown

The Polish government in London is
making last-minute effort TO get the
Big Three to assure relatively free elec-
tions in Poland, thus solving the Polish
problem.
In a memorandum submitted to Wash
ington and London, Premier Tomasz
Arciszewski is reported to. have urged
that the elections be held under the
control of the military forces OF the
Big Three powers after the withdrawal
OF the bulk of the Red armies. He wants
an unspecified number of American and
British troops sent to various places in
Poland to accompany neutral observers
whose mission would be to supervise the
ballot boxes.
The presence of these western repre-
sentatives would give certain degree
of assurance that no undue pressure had
been put on the electors and that the
returns actually represented the wishes
of the Polish people. If such step were
undertaken, the constitutional president
of the Polish republic. Wladyslaw RACE
kiewicz, and his entire cabinet would
resign and bow to the decision OF the
millions of Poles in the homeland. The
exiled government is reported to have
pointed out to the American and British
governments that this action would set
tie the complex situation of the 250,000
Polish soldiers in Europe together with
that of 100000 former war prisoners
and slave workers who have announced
that they now owe allegiance only to
the constitutional government
The fact that the President of Poland
handed over to the newly elected gov
ernment In Warsaw all its constitu-
tional prerogatives would transfer auto
matically the oath of allegiance Of the
army in western Europe to the new gov
ernment The homeless Poles who have
been liberated from the NaZi prison
and labor camps also would be heart
ened by such step and probably would
consent to return to their country.

The British government owes debt
of gratitude to the Polish armies and
has indicated its willingness TO pay it
in its own way. Suggestions have been
made to the government in exile and
to the army leaders that British citi-
zenship should be granted to Polands
fighting men outside their homeland
and the entire army should become a
part of His Majestys forces as a SORT
of foreign legion or police force in the
Middle or Far East.

partial observers are willing to hazard
anything more than guess, and 1t
would be the height OF presumption
for an American writer to do so.

Alternative to Russian Pattern

Alternative to Russian Pattern
TO the Editor Of The Star:
In my letter TO The Star of June 26,
referring to the integration Of the Ger
man economy with the rest of Western
Europe, the area of Germany to be in
cluded should have read west of the
Oder River" and not least of the Oder
River" The latter area would be in
cluded in an Eastern Europe federal
system.
To develop further this idea, and with
reference to Bernard Baruchs suggestion
for destroying German heavy industry,
think the existing destruction of much
OF Germanys industry by war has not
been sufficiently noted nor its signif-
canoe appreciated Outside negative
control OF German industry will not be
as effective as positive action carried on
directly by the Allied powers. Since
there is more or less of an economic
vacuum in Germany. I suggest that
British. American, French and Czech
businessmen and technicians go into
Germany to supervise, direct and operate
the facilities for reconstruction.
There OF course are national, racial
and other prejudices which may impede
such program in connection with the
federation of Western Europe. But
program based on complete national
sovereignty will never preserve peace.
The way to get rid Of these prejudices
gradually is by the use of the federal
principle. American lease-lend policy
and the planning of economic and So
cisl programs for liberated areas have
tended to make Western Europe unit.
All factors which encourage and imple-
ment this unity should be developed
further. The alternative is worse ma
tionalistic rivalries and economic con-
fusion in the area or submission to
Russian policy which socializes the
European economy and eliminates po-
litical freedom to compel order and
enforce peace. QUINTIN M SANGER.
Praises Editorials on Pay
To the Editor of The Star:
The Star is to be commended for the
excellent editorials on the teachers
salary bill.
A large majority of the teachers favor
the bill and consider the demands of
the small teachers union group as being
the efforts of few selfish individuals.
1t is not at sll logical that grade
school teachers should receive the same
compensation as high school teachers.
because the same educational qualifica-
tions are not demanded for the former,
nor are they needed.
All the union has done in this matter
has been to make trouble. I am no
longer a member and have no desire
to join again. TEACHER

Stresses Christian Standards
To the Editor of The Star:
Our form Of government is based on
the rock of Christian principles and
any action that would deprive any one
OF his natural rights is not merely un-
American 1t Is reasonable.
There Is certain amount Of murmur-
ing going on against people because of
their blood, color or religion and, If it
is not discouraged by those who wish
to preserve our democratic way of liv-
ing, it might result in widespread perse-
cution by those who permit their emo
tions rather than their best judgment
to guide them.
The Nazis thought that all their prob
lens would be solved II the Jews were
Jailed or killed When that didn't work
they added monks and all Masons,
Protestants and Catholics TO those who
were to be "liquidated.' The Nazis
certainly were stupid in thinking that
persecution was a good policy.
The utter destruction of Nazism with
its love Of paganism should impress us
more and more with the fact that II we
are to have peace, we must obey the
great commands to love God and to
love our neighbor as ourselves.
