Thus, conceivably, the situation ■ might develop in -such away that Berlin and France would have to validate their pledges to protect Czechoslovakia's frontier, or alternatively, suffer the embarrass- ; ment of finding an exit. On Thursday night Poland de- ; cided to support Hungary's claim j for cession of the whole province of sub-Carpatbiau Ruthenia to Hungary. It w-as understood that Hungary, in negotiations with Czechoslovakia starting tomorrow night, was likely to claim Ruthenia on the ground that it was part of Hungary before the world war, though the inhabitants are largely Ukranians. Sources close to the British government asserted that there | was not the slightest doubt that' ihe real reason for the new Pol- 1

ish-Hungarian claims was a desire to create a common boundary i between the two countries. This would bring nearer to -ealization Poland's dream of a powerful neutral belt of nations, serving as a buffer between Russia and Germany—and. extending from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic Sea —to make a GermanRussian war almost impossible. 0 COMPENSATION iCONTINUED FROM PAGE ONEt More than half of this — 33,498 payments totaling $373,389.81 was for 'slo clause' claimants.
