DUT, just as Munich failed to
ID appease Hitler, so Yalta failed
to appease Stain.
The Soviet government dis
played the maximum of bad faith
and bad will in the negotiations
which were carried on for more
than two months for the formation
of a reorganized government in
Poland.
Every candidate suggested by
the American ambassador Mr..
Averell Hartman, and the British
ambassador, Sir Archibald Clark
Kerr, was vetoed by the Soviet
commissar of foreign affairs, Mr..
Molotov.
After thus repudlatlng the word
of his government to cooperate IN
the creation of an enlarged and
more representative government
in Poland, Molotov came to San
Francisco and made every effort to
have the unchanged provisional
government invited to the confer
ence.
THIS GOVERNMENT is A
GUSHING REGIME OF THE
MOST OBVIOUS TYPE.
It's so-called president is Bole-
slav Beirut, a notorious agent OF
the Communist International, who
has spent most Of his adult life IN
Moscow.
The "war minister is Gen.
Rola-Zymierski, who was dishonor-
ably discharged from the Polish
army and sentenced to serve five
years in prison for embezzlement
in preWar Poland.

DECENT and patriotic Poles feel

and patriotic Americans would
have felt if Stain had appointed an
American government" headed
by Earl Browder, with some assist
ance from scarface AL Capone.
Opposed to this regime, which
would not exist for five minutes
without the support of foreign
troops, is the Polish government IN
London, originally composed OF
representatives of the four largest
parties in prewar Poland, sup
ported by one of the most active
underground movements in Europe
and recognized as representative
of the Polish people by the over
whelming majority of Poles and
people of Polish extraction who are
free to express choice.
The arrest of the 16 Polish
leaders, among whom were Jan
Jankowski, vice premier OF the
legitimate Polish government, the
former commander of the Polish
underground army, Gen. Leopold
Okulicki, and a number OF men
prominent in Polish political life,
including several representatives
of the Peasant and Socialist par
ties, is only link in a long chain OF

Arrest of Polish Patriots
Reveals Studied Red AGGRESSION

By WILLIAM HENRY CHAMBERLlN
Noted Writer and Authority on Russian Affairs
Written Expressly for the Hearst Newspapers
Detroit evening times., 1945-05-11

TT is now the task of American
l. and British craftsmanship to
bring home in unmistakable fash
ion to Mr.. Molotov that, however
Indifferent he may be to the word
of his government, America and
Great Britain expect international
pledges to be kept.
Otherwise there is absolutely no
sense or meaning in a world Sc
curity organization" which already
has enough gaping holes in its
structure to run column of Stain
tanks through.
There should be no resump-
ton of discussion of the fOrma-
ton of Polish government until
the l6, and all Poles who are
prisoners in Russia are uncondi-
tionally released, until all Poles
abroad are permitted to returnn
to Poland and that country is -
made accessible to foreign diplO-
mats and journalists.
Not penny Of lend-lease ma
terial should go to Russia until this
insult to international good faith
in general and to America in par
ticular is fully atoned for.

Now this analogy has been
driven home with relentless force
by the subsequent march of events.
1t may be recalled that the orig
inal Munich was widely justified
and even applauded on the ground
that it saved peace without sacri-
ficing justice, that Czecho-Slovakia

out the Sudeten Germans.
In the same way it was argued
that, although Poland was required
by the Yalta agreement to give up
its eastern provinces, "free and
unfettered elections on the basis of
universal suffrage and secret bal
lot" were assured to Poland within
it's new frontiers.

 They were taken to the hospital in the police ambulance as pre- cautionary measure, it was revealed.
 Sgt. Joseph Mccarthy reported that his family of three, 88 Monroe avenue, was forced to remain in an unheated home for three days due to gas leak.
 Sgt. Mccarthy said that the leak was discovered Saturday morning when he and his wife returned home to smell gas in the house. He reused his 16 year old daughter Jane, and they attempted to clear the house of the fumes.
 Gas company workmen discovered the leak in connecting service pipe, Mccarthy said, but it was not re- paired until Monday. He said that he, his wife and daughter were forced to remain in the cold house after gas company officials advised him not to light the basement oil- burner.
