British Lose Patience
With Problem Of
Polish Exile Force
BY Dovid M. NichoI
Foreign Correspondent, Of The stor and
the Chicago Dolly New,

the Chicago Dolly News
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE patience
with which the problem of the
Polish armed forces in exile has
been treated here on both sides is
running out.
A recent Gallup poll shows that
% per cent of the people of Great
Britain disappprove the govern
ments plan to bring the bulk of
Gen. Wladyslaw Anders' I'd Polish
Corps from Italy to the British
Isles.
In Scotland, where most of the
Poles in Great Britain have been
quartered during the war years, the
percentage of those who disapprove
Is 75..
Among the Poles themselves, ac-
cording to their representatives with
whom 1 talked in Edinburgh, there
is bitter resentment. It turns chief
ly on the British determination to
prevent the Polish groups from con-
tinuing military training.
Discord Increases.
The existence Of the corps at all
meanwhile, Is source of constant
: discord between London and the
Warsaw Polish government which
views it, and not without some rea-
son, with the deepest distrust.
Gen. Anders, who once told me
he would prefer to see the Germans
remain in Poland than to have them
defeated II defeat meant passage by
the Red Army, told the I'd Corps
In Italy, as it was being prepared
for movement to Great Britain.
that:
Our duty is not done yet: our
period of service is not yet at an
end. Our march towards a free. in
dependent and lmmutilated Poland
goes on"
Britain has proposed a so-called
"resettlement corps" into which the
returning Poles will be enlisted. 1t
is designed as a transition mechan-
ism between army life and civilian
existence.
Unions Suspicious.
Setting it up has not been easv.
Trade union representatives are
suspicious. So far they have blocked
attempts to employ Poles even in
such desperately shorthanded in
dustries as mining. In Scotland
there have been local refusals to
work when Poles appeared on the
Jobs.
Many Of the men know almost no
English. They will be employed at
first, it is planned, on road projects
and similar work under their own
officers. Gen. Anders assured the
men they would retain their uni
forms and their insignia of rank.
Before the transfer from Italy be-
gan there were about $500 Poles
here, chiefly In Scotland. Most of
them have been quartered in re-
mote camps, as civilian impatience
grew.

ALASKA HIGHWAY TO BE TURNED OVER TO
 CANADA ON APRIL }

WASHINGTON, March 9..-The SIS, 100000 Alaska Highway, which the U s. Army built and operated during the war, will be turned over to Canada on April 3.
 The United States and Canadian governments announced jointly that the transfer of control will be made at a ceremony at Whitehorse, Yu- kon Territory.
 This was the agreement under which the 1,000-mile stretch of road was built as an emergency de- fense measure. The highway runs through uninhabited country be- tween Fort Saint John, B. c. and Fairbanks, Alaska.
 Along with the highway will go airfields of the Northwest Staging Route, the telephone system from Edmonton, Alberta, to the Alaska border, and other installations.
 F. H. LaGuardia, former mayor of New York City, who was chair man of the United States section of the joint Board of Defense, and Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton, the Canadian chairman, have been ask ed to represent their governments at the ceremony.

This amendment only carried, how
ever, by a vote of to 3, and is
expected to be fought over again
before the full banking committee
reports the measure to the Senate.
Supporters of the Wagner
Ellender bill point out that most of
ITS benefits will come from reduc-
ing costs through insurance with
out expenditures by the Govern
ment. They estimate that the total
annual assistance to be provided
by the Government for all phases
of this general housing program
will not exceed $1330O0,00O a year
when the program reaches its peak
after five years.
One of the new features of the
bill to encourage private construc-
2ion of homes for moderate incomes
is the authority given FILA to in
sure mortgages up to 95 per cent
OF the appraised value Of houses not
exceeding $4,000 in cost.
For those in the lowest income
brackets the bill provides for public
housing projects to the extent of
125,000 units year for a four-year
period. Senator Ellender explained,
however, that public housing will be
provided only when the public au-
thorities of a community certify
that is the only way it can be done.

major change In our society. Con-
sequently, the people of the United
States have right to know the pur-
poses to which this reserve military
strength might some day be put
This is a fair question. 1t deserves
a fair answer.
The answer is simple. The United
States is committed to the support
of the Charter of the United Nations.
Should the occasion arise, our mill
tary strength will be used to support
the purposes and principles Of the
Charter.
I cannot emphasize too strongly
that the United States looks to the
United Nations as the path to en-
during peace.
We do not propose to seek security
in an alliance with the Soviet Union
against Great Britain or in an alli-
ance with Great Britain against the
Soviet Union.
We propose to stand with the Uni
ted Nations in our efforts to secure
equal justice for all nations and
special privilege for no nation.
We must maintain our strength,
therefore, for the primary purpose
of preserving and using our influence
in support of the Charter of the
United Nations. We will not use our
strength for aggressive purposes.
Neither will we use it to support
tyranny or special privilege.
Powerful Currents Loose.
do not desire to conclude on
somber note. firmly believe that
the difficulties confronting the world,
although they are serious, can be
solved if all of us approach those
difficulties in a spirit of Cancellation
and goodwill.
There are powerful currents loose
in the world today. But the currents
of life cannot be stopped in their
courses. We live in moving and
changing world.
There Is no reason to fear an open
and vigorous contest between our
conception of democracy and other
political faiths. The voice of de-

was yesterday. In conflict of
ideas we can be supremely confident
of victory.
The important thing to remember
is that war of ideas is not won by
armies. In international life there
can be progress without war if
reason and not force is recognized
as the test of progress.
The basic purpose of the United
Nations is to make force the SER
want and not the master of reason
and to reject the ancient and dis
credited doctrine that might makes
right.
After every great war there comes
a period of anticlimax and disil-
lusionment. Those who fight to-
gether expect, when the fighting
is over, too much from one another
and are inclined to give too little
to one another.
Those who have won the victory

May Is Of this year, the situation will
become critical. 1t is imperative
that the act be extended at least for
the period in which the Army and
the Navy have the multiple RESPONSE
bllity for the occupation of Germany
and Japan, for the protection of our
surpluses overseas, for the continu-
ing defense of the United States and
for the fulfillment of our commit
ments under the charter.
1t is even more important, in the
long run, that We have at all times
a reserve of trained men who can
be called upon in case of need.
A number of methods have been
proposed for obtaining this trained
reserve. AS Secretary of State, I
desire to emphasize my wholehearted
and unequivocal Endorsement of
the proposal for universal military
| training.
1t may be that the system pro-
posed can be improved upon with
experience in its administration. It
is probable that as the years go
by the system can be adapted to
the demands of education and civil
ian employment in ways which will
minimize friction and disruption in
private lives. The important thing,
however, is to get started with the
plan, and to get started now.
An intelligently organized and
administered system of universal
military training will not under
mine the American tradition of the
subordination of military authority
to civilian authority.
No Cause for Alarm.
AS for the effect of the training
upon the boys, 1 can see no cause
for alarm. 1t is not realistic to say,
as some do, that period of mill
tary training will turn our spirited
and independent young men into
unthinking brutes.
If We are to take the word of the
old timers among the master ser
geants and chief petty officers,
American recruits have always dis
played a phenomenal capacity to
Withstand education in the mill
tary way of doing things.
II we need fear anything about
the effects upon our boys Of brief
period of military training, it is
that they will learn too little about
being soldiers and sailors rather
than too much.
II we agree that it Is necessary
for the United States to preserve
an adequate degree of strength, it
is we'll to remember that the only
real alternative to universal mill
tary training is the maintenance of
a large professional standing army
and navy. This is an alternative
which experience has shown to be
threat to civilian government.
1t Is an alternative which we should
accept only as a last resort.
A system of universal training will
keep our armed forces from becom-
ing fixed in their ways and habits.
Teachers frequently learn from their
pupils. Youngsters will not readily
respond TO training in methods
which they know to be outmoded.
Our defense in the modern world
depends upon the mobility and f1ex-
Utility Of our armed forces and their
ability to make use of and keep up
with the advance of science.

Opportunity With Victory.
They forget that victory in war
can only give the opportunity that
would otherwise be denied, to live
and work for the fruits Of peace
and freedom.
Having been forced to fight for
military victory. they sometimes
think that whatever they want
should be taken by force instead
of making their claims the basis
for peaceful negotiation.
1t takes time to pass from the
psychology of war to the psychology
OF peace. We must have patience
as well as flrmness. We must keep
our feet on the ground. We cannot
afford to lose our tempers.
l. am deeply convinced that the
peoples who fought together for
freedom want to live together in
peace. I am deeply convinced that
the peoples of the United Nations
are sincerely committed to the
Charter.
There are always some of little
faith; some who still believe that
they cannot get their due except
by force. There are others who
still believe that ancient privilege
will yield to nothing but force of
arms.
But with firmness in the right
not as we alone see it, but as the
aggregate sentiments of mankind
see it, and with patience and under
standing we must and shall achieve
a just and enduring peace for our
selves and all nations.

Senator Ball accused the New

vent Mr.. Churchill from speaking
