WELCOMED BY POLES
ANGLO-SOVIET AGREEMENT (Rec. 7 p.m.) RUGBY, June 16. In the course of his address to the Polish National Council, General Sikorski said the Anglo-Soviet agreement was a most important political and moral success for the United Nations. It would strengthen the fighting spirit of the occupied countries, as well as the Soviet Army, which at present was bearing the chief weight of the war on the Continent. General Sikorski said Britain held a leading position among the United Nations because of her war effort and because she was in the war, not because she was attacked, but in order to defend principles and carry out her obligations. Britain had increased her moral capital many times', and this was of great importance to the future. He was convinced that the treaty would have results on future SovietPolish relations. He believed a strong Poland would rise again.
