Poles Ready 10 Fight
For Western Lands
Taken From Germany
BY the kssoeioisd Press

WARSAW, Mar. 13-Poland
stands ready to fight to maintain
her western frontiers along the Bal
tic, the Oder and Neisse Rivers,
established by taking a big slice of
territory from Eastern Germany.
But no one In Poland thinks
anyone. contemplstes trying to
change those frontiers except the
Germans themselves-and any ag-
gressive action by them would mean
immediate war.
While there may be some difn-
culties in the final approval Of Po-
lands borders in the Moscow con-
ference, the Polish government is
confident the Baltic Oder -Neisse
line will remain intact.
At Potsdam, the big powers placed
under Polish rule, pending final
determination Of frontiers In the
German peace treaty, total Of
62,50o square miles in Eastern Ger
many. That is exclusive of the once
Free City Of Danzig, now Gdansk,
which also is in Polish hands.
In return, Poland ceded 91,875
square miles in Eastern Poland to
Soviet Russia.
Despite the Potsdam wording, the
government and the average Pole
regards the present western 'front.'
iers as "fait accompn."
Two OF the Moscow conferees,
France and Soviet Russia, firmly
support Poland's position. Govern
ment spokesmen here express conf
dence that Britain and America, too,
will realize the Importance Of Po-
land maintaining her present west
ern line as q curb of any future
German aggression.
The Polish government says the
intention of the Potsdam signatories
was obvious-that her western from
tiers shall remain where they are
and Poland has done everything to
make these new lands really Polish
Since Potsdam, nearly 5000, 900
Poles, repatriated from a dozen
European countries and transferred
from Central Poland, have moved
into the western territories and re-
settled there as fast as German
families could be moved into Ger
many.
Polish Plans Outlined.
The government plans to have
100000 Poles living there by the
end Of 1947 and to have completed

Germans.
Already the government has spent
many billions of zlotys In the new
territories. The rehabilitation Of
farms In war-devastated areas, the
reconstruction of industries, towns,
villages, and schools entails gov
ernment outlay in 1947 of 35,000,-
000, 900 zlotys.
Additionally, a special national
tax called "danina narodowy" is
raising $4,000, 900, 900 zlotys for de-
velopment Of the western lands.
BY the end Of 1947, Poland hopes
to repatriate 100000 Poles from AL
lied zones in Germany, 100000 from
France and 100000 from other coun-
tries. including Soviet Russia. The
majority of them are likely to re-
settle in the western territories In
1948.
