Show I POLAND TO COMPLY. Agreement seenis to have been reached between the United States and Poland as to the respecting of Russian territorial rights I Great Britain had taken the position that the Polish armiis m their offensive, should not go beyond the present frontier France held that the Poles would not he unduly aggressive if! they advanced until a strategic point had been arrived at even be- j ond the frontier lines. The United States in part agrees with France, but ha sought to have Poland give assurance that Russian territory would not he per-1 manently held, and ethnological lines would be respected. In other words, the Poles were called upon to declare they had no imperialistic imperialis-tic plans in their conflict with Russia. The American attitude is one of respect for the inherent rights of both sides to the struggle and is in harmony with the policy of self-determination enunciated at the Versailles conference. |
