POLISH LITHUANIAN DISPUTE

VALDEMARAS URGED TO OPEN NEGOTIATIONS

(Rec January 5, 8.10 p.m.)

Warsaw, January 4

British and French representatives here are urging the Premier, Professor Valdemaras, in the interests of his own country, to begin negotiations for a settlement of the Polish-Lithuanian dispute.

[The London “Morning Post’s” Warsaw correspondent says: “Events are showing that Sir Austen Chamberlain was correct in describing the compromise between Poland and Lithuania as only a step towards solution. The public utterances of Professor Valdemaras, the Piemier, are becoming less conciliatory. He declares that it is for Poland to make proposals. These apparently must be territorial concessions or . a change of the status of Vilna. Poland, however, regards the frontier as settled once for all. In the circumstances,” says the correspondent, “no speedy solution of the dispute is anticipated here.”J .
