POLISH POST-WAR AIMS

“NO MORE SACRIFICES OF TERRITORY”

(8.0. W.)

RUGBY. Sept 13.

The Polish Foreign Minister (Mr Romer), who was appointed after General Sikorski’s* death, making his first address to the Polish National Council,* said: “We make no claim for revenge, however human such a claim might be, but we demand full justice. We desire a full and equitable understanding with Russia on a basis of complete loyalty and, recognition of mutual rights and mutual independence, and we look for the re-establishment of normal relations with the Soviet on these lines.

“We see no adequate reason why Poland should make any further sacrifices either of territory or population. Such a step would be repugnant to the ideals for the triumph of which we are fighting. For that reason Poland stands firm for the integrity of Polish territory.” .
