pendent existence and to sub
ordinate it to the interests of
the American monopolies."

alleged spying be stopped, re-
peated' previous charge that
q. United States Air Force plane
dropped two saboteurs into Po-
land by parachute November 4

of other extensive espionage and
diversionist activities.
Charges Called Fake.

that the saboteurs were drop
ped a fake" In Washington
last night the State Depart
ment said the Polish note had
not been received and had no

and parts of Pomerania and
Brandenburg-was recognized
by the Potsdam conference
