Theories on Policy.
From the American Governments
viewpoint, the big question now is
Russias ultimate foreign policy OBJ
jectives. About this two theories
are most frequently voiced here
The first, and one widely held by
many diplomats familiar with Rus
sian policy over a long period, is
that Russia because Of her uncer-
tainty about friendship in the rest
OF the world is trying to surround
herself with Moscow-domina ted
friendly governments"
The second theory, one advanced
by other diplomatic authorities, is
that Russia may be intent on polit-
ical and territorial expansion far
beyond the limits of her security in
terests. Authorities generally agree
that should this prove to be the case
the task of coming to any kind Of
satisfactory arrangement with Mos
COW would be almost impossible I'M
less and until Moscow modified its
policy.
Meanwhile, Representative Taber.
Republican, Of New York, told the
House the United States still is
sending Substantial shipments" of
lease-lend materials to Russia and
suggested that this postwar lease
lend be used as a means of ad.
vancing American policies. Russia
had received total OF 100000. 900
worth OF supplies through January
81, he said, out Of a total of $780,

States in postwar tapering of Of
lease lend.
The State Department later ex-
planned that the Russians are OBJ
tanning a total Of $3.50 900 900 of
goods and services on a credit basis.
The goods are those which had
been ordered for Russia before the
war ended as part Of lease lend.

wartime lease-lend was terminated,

Churchill Called Worried.

"Of course, such a development
does not appeal to Churchill. He Is
worried and he has developed fear.
But he did not like the establish
.ment of the Soviet regime in Rus
STA, either, after the end OF the First
World War. Then, too, he rang the
bell of warning and organized the
military crusade OF II countries
against Russia with the aim of turn
ing back history. But history has
proved to be stronger than

people are READY TO forget THESE
colossal sacrifices of Soviet people
who guaranteed the liberation of
Europe from Hitler's yoke. But the
Soviet people cannot forget them.
Let us ask what is surprising in
the Soviet Union desire of safe
guarding itself in the future by try
ing to establish in those countries
the governments who will have loyal
feeling toward the U. S. s. R.
"One can see the peaceful inten-
tions Of the Soviet Union and the
tendencies Of our state. Churchill
further argues that the Polish gov
eminent, dominated by the Rus
SLAMS, is submitting unjust claims on
Germany. There is a huge insult
ing lie. The present democratic
government of Poland Is led by
distinguished people. They have
shown themselves able to defend
the honor Of their country in q way
which their predecessors were un-
able to do.
What reason has Churchill for
his statement that the administra-
tors OF the present Poland can al
low the domination Of their country
by any foreign state? Does not
Churchill lie about the Russians?
Yes, because he is trying to SOW
the seeds of disunity between
Poland and the Soviet Union.
Churchill is dissatisfied because Po-
land turned her policy towards
friendship with the Russian people

.0n Communicable
Disease Bill Soon

Action may be taken tomorrow by
the House District Committee on
the long-delayed bill sponsored by
the Commissioners to strengthen
the city's control over communicab BILE
diseases.
! This is one of several bills sched-
uled for possible action at tomor-
rows meeting by Representative Nc
MILAN, Democrat, of South Carolina
the new chairman of the committee
In response to protests that some
provisions of the bill were drastic,
a modified version has been sug-
gested by the Commissioners.
The House committee also is ex-
pected to consider action on the
Senate-passed bill to set up a for
NAL system of voluntary apprentice
ship in the District, which is sup
ported generally by labor and edu-
fcational groups. Some amendments
to the pending measure have been
suggested by the Labor Department.
Another measure scheduled for
consideration is one to write into
substantive law the present police
department policy of granting extra
sums to precinct detectives and other
members of the force on special
assignment. This has a relation to
charges made against salaries for re-
tirement and the amounts of an
nuities on retirement. The COM
mittee also is expected to consider
differences between the House and
Senate bills which would relieve trust
companies of making annual reports
to the District government.
