GAIN BY POLES
TERRITORY FROM REICH
DUE TO MISUNDERSTANDING (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.)
LONDON, August 26.
Poland acquired 10,000 square miles and territory and 3,000,000 German subjects that she was not intended to have, says the "Daily Herald." The error was caused by a misundertanding between the Big Three about the Neisse Rivers when they were partitioning Germany.
There is the eastern Neisse and the western Neisse, and Messrs. Churchill, Truman, and Stalin misunderstood which river was intended to mark the extent of the Polish gain at the expense of Germany. There had been agreement, at least by inference, that the Poles should go to the Oder and the eastern Neisse. Generalissimo Stalin understood that the western Neisse was the river referred to, and the Russian view prevailed.
