In view of the fact imperialists

MikoIojezyk Backs Critics
OF Byrnes on Polish Border

COPENHAGEN, Sept 10 R).-
Stanislaw Mikolajc jczyk, sole opposi-
ton leader in the Polish provisional
government, lined up yesterday with
other Warsaw government chief
tains in their stand that Poland
considers her western boundaries
definite in their present form.
Replying to Secretary of State
Byrnes' statement that the United
States does not consider Poland's
western frontier settled permanent
ly on the Oder River, the Polish
Vice Premier said the issue repre-
sents a basic question for his coun-
try-"I should say a question of life
or death"
Mr.. Mikolajcyk, head OF the
Polish Peasant party, refused ia
comment on Sundays demonstra-
tions in Warsaw until he received
additional reports. The demonstra.
tors set fire to part of Mr.. Miko.
latczyk's newspaper plant after at
tending political meeting at which
Mr.. Byrnes was assailed for giving
hope to the Germans that the east.
ern frontier might be revised.
The demonstrators, apparently re.
senting failure of the newspaper tt
comment on the Byrnes statement
shouted Down with Mikolaj jczyk-
Down with Germany" The demon
strators also milled in front of tn,
residence of American Ambassador
Arthur Bliss Lane.

Of new and happier chapter in the

I anticipate great results from the
personal contacts which are here

are thus met together shows you the
extent to which his majesty's gov
ernment recognizes that Palestine
is subject of legitimate interest
and concern to all the Arab peoples

to give due weight to the existing
situation Is likely to provide solu-
ton of our difficulties.
Secondly, I would urge the i'm
portance, throughout our proceed
ings, or recognizing that no settle
ment is possible in Palestine unless
each community is prepared to take
account of the others interests and
to make the concessions necessary
for peace. You, as statesmen, know
that no conference can achieve any
thing if those attending it have made
up their minds in advance and are
determined to adhere to precon-
ceived opinions. In a matter of this
kind, where great clash of interests
Is involved, there must be give and
take. 1t is only along the path of
negotiation, where all views are re-
spected. weighed and taken into
consideration, that we can hope to
emerge into the daylight.
Finally, we must all remember
that the Palestine problem cannot
be treated in isolation but must be
regarded against the wider back
ground Of world policy. Palestine is
a tiny country, but everything that
happens in it has reactions in a far
wider sphere. To plan for Palestine
while ignoring these reactions would
be to shut ones eyes to the realities
|of the case; the structure might
seem worthy but the foundations
would he or1 sand
Natural Partnership.
1t is fitting that the whole of this
broad background should be sur
veyed in a spirit of friendship at
this conference table. For anything
that affects the Arab peoples is a
matter of interest to the British
people and in the same way the
destiny Of Britain Is, I believe, a
matter of Importance to the Arabs.
We are associated in a natural part
nership. Sometimes it has seemed
that the harmony of this partner
ship is threatened by the impact
upon 1t of events in Palestine. 1t is
my earnest hope that we shall sue
ceed in removing that danger by
frankly explaining our difficulties to
one another and searching together
for solution on which you and we
can honorably agree
You are to consider problem of
the utmost complexity; a heavy
weight Of responsibility rests upon
you in dealing with it. But a way
must be found and I am confident
that you will approach the task of
finding it with wisdom and with a
full realization Of the benefits, both
in the Middle East and elsewhere
which would flow from a just and
lasting settlement of the Palestine
question.
I regret that it will not be pos
sible for me personally to take part
In your deliberations; the pressure
Of Prime Minister'S duties is sc
heavy that 1 must leave it to my
colleagues in the United Kingdom
delegation to conduct the discus
sions. But shall follow their course
with the keenest interest and do all
that can to promote their success
I pray that the opening of this
conference may be also the opening

BY the Associoted Press

LONDON. Sept 10.-FolloUing
Is the tert of the speech deliuered
by Prime Minister Attlee at the
opening OF the Palestine con-
ference today
1t gives me the greatest pleasure
to welcome to this conference the
representatives of the Arab coun-
tries Of the Middle East. For a
quarter of a century now, successive
British governments have watched
with close and sympathetic interest
the progress of the Arab national
revival.
I am sure you will agree that the
revival must have proceeded far
more slowly if Ottoman dominion
in the Arab parts of Asia had not
been broken by British armies dur
ing the war of 1914-18. At the end
of that great war Great Britain as
sumed responsibility for the polit-
ical development of Iraq Palestine
and Transjordan. We interpreted
that responsibility as obliging us
first to see that the foundations Of
stable and progressive administra-
ton were firmly established, and
then to remove all restrictions on
self-government as rapidly as
seemed to us practicable. In ac-
cordance with this policy, Iraq be-
came a fully independent sovereign
state in 1880 and Transjordan has
now acquired the same status.
-4.. It is not for want of British sup
port that Transjordan's first appli-
cation for membership Of the United
Nations has encountered obstacles
On the other hand. I think we may
fairly claim that the presence of the
Syrian and Lebanese republics
among the member states of the
United Nations is due to British en-
couragement and assistance. Only
in Palestine, for reasons which we
shall examine together round this
table, has there been a conflict IL,
principle, between British policy
and Arab aspirations.
What I have just said is illus
trated by the difference between the
composition Of this conference and
of that which met for a similar pur-
pose at st. James Palace in 1899.
I should like to say an additional
word Of welcome to the delegations
Of those states which were not rep
resented in 1939-Lebanon and
Syria-and to the secretary general
of the Arob aa u1te
Hopes for Solution.
One word more by way of intro
duction. A national revival is not
completed by the attainment of
political independence. I believe
that the Arab states now have the
opportunity of inaugurating impor-
tant economic developments from
which the common people of their
countries would greatly benefit and
which would increase their strength
and stability. I am happy to see
that cooperation in such develop
ments Is one of the purposes of the
Arab League. / can assure you that
his majesty's government will, inso-
far as you ask for their help, dc
everything in their power to help
you in promoting economic expan-
sion and social progress.
I turn now to the subject which
has brought us together. 1t has, as
you know, always been the inten-
ton of his majesty's government tc

countries into consultation before
arriving at any final conclusion as
to the future of Palestine We con-
SeQuently accepted readily the pro-
posal made by the states members
OF the Arab League that we should
enter into negotiations with them
on the subject. It Is my earnest
hope that, as a result of the con-
ference which begins today, the way
may be cleared toward some &C
ceptable solution of this intractable
problem.
I much regret that the Arabs of
Palestine have decided not to send
representatives to the conference.
But, knowing how near this ques-
ton of Palestine is to the hearts of
the neighboring Arab countries,
feel fully satisfied that, even if there
are no Palestinian delegates, the
Arab point of view is adequately and
effectively represented by the pres
ent gathering.
I need hardly tell you how much
his majesty's government deplore
the state of unrest and disturbance
into which Palestine has been
plunged, to the detriment of the in
terests there. 1t is state which can
not be permitted to continue-and
1t Is incumbent upon us all to make
every effort to promote such settle
ment Of the underlying issues as well
as to establish peace and prosperity
in the land. 1t is for this purpose
that the present conference has been
convened.
Sure Solution Will Be Found.
I do not believe that it is as is
sometimes stated, a problem to which
no solution Is possible. Given a spirit
Of realism and understanding, I am
convinced that a solution can be
found. But the discovery of such a
solution will be high test of states
manship and I can conceive of no
better augury for success than the
attendance here of so many distin-
guished representatives which, we
all know, will be inherent in any plan
which can be devised.
This is not the occasion for the
discussion of details and I do not
propose to attempt to enumerate OF
to dilate upon the difficulties to
which I have referred. His majesty's &
government have themselves put
forward plan which seems to them
to be well worthy of consideration
Discussion of this plan will be the
first item on the conference agenda
But I wish to make it quite clear
that we have not made up our minds
In advance Of our discussions with
you. Our plan is not a decision to
which we are committed, but pro-
posal which We ask you to consider
1t Is open to any delegation either to
suggest amendments to it or to put
forward proposals for a settlement
on different lines. Our great desire
Is that the discussions shall be al
full. as frank and as free as possible
1t is from an interchange OF view
on such lines that an acceptable
solution is most likely to emerge.
I have, OF course, no intention
whatever of attempting to dictate
how these deliberations should be
conducted, but there are three mat
ters which I would earnestly ask you
to bear In mind. First, I would sug-
Igest that too much time should not
be devoted to the discussion of past
history. We live in an ever-chang-
ing world and must face facts as
they exist today. No plan. however
