COMMONS FAVORS
POLISH DECISION
Churchill Virtually Upheld
Although Final Debate
Is To Come

LONDON, Feb. % -UP)- The
House of Commons today defeated
1896 to IS, an amendment by rebel
conservatives attacking the Crimea
Conference decision on Poland as
a violation of the Atlantic Charter
and a betrayal of British princi-
pies.
The ballot was in effect vote
of confidence in Prime Minister
Churchills coalition government. A
similar test after the last war de-
bate resulted in a vote of $40 to 7.
1t is doubtful now whether a vote
will be taken tomorrow on the gov
ernment's formal motion for APP
proval of all the Crimea decisions.
The feeling of the House was clear
ly shown en- the Polish issue, the
only strongly controversial sub
ject to stem from the Crimea Con-
ference.
The revolt within his own party,
however, caused Churchill to
change the order of the three-day
debate on the Crimea Conference,
which ne opened yesterday with a
10 00O-word speech. Foreign Secre-
tary Anthony Eden, who was to
have closed the debate tomorrow,
spoke today instead. The Prime
Minister himself will give the con-
GLIDING argument to the govern
ment.
Churchill devoted much Of his
speech yesterday to justifying the
Big Three decision on Poland, and

Immediate local reaction to the

two possibly unfavorable points.
Among the most significant
proposals in the seven-point pro-
gram was that development is
sufficiently important and far

Great Britain has always suf.

a manner that will not irritate a

make an American believe that the
British won this war as It Ia to
make a Russian believe that the
United States won the war. Lord
