have told the House of Commons in
a secret speech in 1912 that Ameri-

suited "in any way" in negotiations
that led to Gen. Eisenhowers recog-
milton of Darlan as "the supreme
French authority in Northwest
Africa" Darlan at the time was
Vichy Vice Premier under Marshal
Petain.
i must, however, say" Britain's
wartime Prime Minister added,
that personally l consider that in
the circumstances prevailing Gen.
Eisenhower was right, and even If
he was not quite right I should have
been very reluctant to hamper or
impede his action when so many
lives and such vitality important
issues hung in the balance"
Mr.. Churchill said Gen. Eisen-
hover advised Washington from
Algiers on November IA, 1912, that
he had reached an agreement with
Frenchmen, that they would accept

Ian would cooperate with the

Terrorism in Poland
Raises New Threat
To Big ; Harmony
BY GARNETT d. HORNER.

Controversy over Polish secret
police and underground" terror
activities today threatened an
other disruption of Big Three
harmony in relations with
Poland.
Secretary of State Byrnes asserted
in statement late yesterday that
the Polish security police appear to
have been implicated" in number
of recent political murders in
Poland.
He said the Polish provisional
government had been warned it's
secret police activities hinder full
fillment Of its commitment to hold
free and unfettered democratic elec-
tions as soon as possible.
Later, Polish Ambassador Oscar
Lange declared members of an un-
derground organization, which he
said is directed by Gen. Wladyslaw
Anders, British-supported Polish
Army commander in Italy, is to
blame for most Of what he called a
systematic terrorism in Poland.
The Soviet government did not
enter the controversy Immediately.
but Russian commentators for
months have charged that terrorism
is being fomented in Poland by Gen.
Anders, who fought under the for
mer Polish government -in-exile in
London and is bitter critic of the
Warsaw regime.
Mr.. Byrnes said he had instructed
the American Embassy in Warsaw
to inform the Polish government
that I'VE are relying on that gov
eminent to take the necessary
steps to assure the freedom and
security which are essential to the
successful holding of free elec-
tions."
He pointed out that under the
Yalta agreement, which led to Gre
alton of the Warsaw regime, recog-
lied by this country and Britain
last July 5, after protraced negotia-
tions in Moscow, the United States
has responsibilities which require
it to follow closely Polish political
developments"
