Granger It is possible that some agreement may have been reached between Poland and Russia by the time you read this. Nevertheless, it is quite necessary that we have a general idea of Russias offer in order to fully understand the agreement whatever it may be. While the Russian statement on the future of the Poles is not exactto the Polish ly complimentary government in exile, yet its attitude is conciliatory to the extent of favoring a strong and independent Poland and recognizes the old Cur-zo- n Line which was recommended by the Allies after the First World War. It is true that this would give back to the Poles only a fraction of the territory taken from them by the Russians when Hitler began the war in 939, but it must be remembered that is the line agreed to by Poland and the Allies in December, 1919. A brief review of history discloses that Poland's eastern boundry has been the source of much controversy. For the Poles, ignoring the settlement after the First World War, early 1920 launched a successful offensive against the Russians and the Russians agreed to a negotiated peace which gave to the Poles in districts in which there is an overwhelming Polish population. The Curzon Line calls to mind one of the most nitably remarkable men of modern times. He was George Nathaniel Marquess Curzon, British Foreign Secretary, who directed the commission which established this border on the theory that those divisions predominantly Polish should be in Poland, and Russians shnuld be in Russia. This proposal before peace, whatever else it does, gives a hope that a good many differences are to be ironed out before "unconditional surrender and long before delegates begin to gather at peace tabes to debate terms 1 Mr. Eli Bardley a long time residence of Hyrum, died at the home Mrs. Stella Bradof a sister-in-laon Thursday, January 20, ley, Mr. Bradley has been failing in health for a long time but had seemed to be improved as he was planing on leaving yesterday for a few days visit in Ogden with his niece and nephew Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Jacques who had come to Hyrum for the purpose of taking him to Ogden along with Mrs. Bradley.

This job is the No. 2 job America has to do. The No. job is, of course being done at the front by our fighting men. Since the battle of production is largely won, it remains for us now to complete the financing of the war currently costing about $174,000 per minute in such a way as to back the boys g on the battle fronts with a fourth unmistakable demonstration of all-osupport and by capturing every idle dollar to control inflation and thus preserve our American way of life. The volunteer salesmen and saleswomen who will begin their calls today have the finest basket of securities ever offered to the people of any land. Lets receive them cordially and respond to their request to the limit of our ability, realizing that bonds purchased will help our country and help ourselves. We should also realize that there can be no more commendable or patriotic aim than to dedicate ourselves in this drive to the job of placing in war bonds every dollar of excess earnings which have accrued to the worker, the farmer, or the business man as a result of employment or business opportunities or increased profits growing out of the war.
