POLAND'S CLAIMS.
STRAIGHT TALK BY BIG FOUR
'Australian and N.Z. Cable Association) ! PARIS, June 9. Some straight talk passed between the Council of Four and Paderewski, m which it was pointed out that Poland had not suffered much during the war, and the Powers could not be expected to go to war over Poland. -Therefore some frontier modifications might be expected and a further commission might be appointed to consider details. Memyer, the Polish delegate, -is reported to have said : "The concessions we are asked to make m favor of the Germans are both territorial and economic. They are; manifestly unjust, and while we are ready to submit to them we cannot forego the surrender of Upper Silesia, which would leave Poland at Germany's mercy and deprive the Pole? of the coal mines and paralyse industry."
