leaders today were reported looking with favor on a suggestion by the Communist Party organ, Pravda,

at Moscow, that the Ukrainian and | White Russian sections of Poland be incorporated in the Soviet Union. A Pravda editorial alleging that the Poles had mistreated minorities | which comprise 40 per cent of Poland's population, and that Polish ! airplanes had violated the Russian! border, were reprinted at length in German newspapers. DNB, official German news agency, said, ‘this clarifies the background of the Red Army's mobilization on the western frontier Foreigners who refused to believe Soviet Russia would concern herself with the fate of Ukrainians and White Russians in Poland again were bitterly. mistaken.’ Gen. Maxim Purkajev, Russia's new plenipotentiary military attache to Germany, has conferred several times with German military leaders in the past few days. Some | Nazi quarters even predicted Russian | military action against Poland in| the next few days in retaliation for alleged border violations

In that connection, it was noted that a Tass (Russian) News Agency report of alleged uprisings in the

Lithuanian protests against border violations by Poles also were reported here and some observers detected in all these suggestions an in-

dication of the German plan for)

disposing of Poland when and if it is conquered. If Lithuania's claims against Poland were satisfied the whole northeastern section of the country around Vilna, which Lithuanians claim as their capital, would be amputated. Ukrainians occupy the southeastern one-fifth of the country. Most observers believed that Adolf Hitler would at least take from Pothe territories that belonged to Germany before the World War, including the Corridor, the industrialized Upper Silesia, and probably the Teschen district which Poland took from Czechoslovakia also might get a small share of its pre-war territory. The remnant would be a Poland about half the present size, bereft of most of its industry, natural resources and its outlet to the Baltic, and probably under German domination

Unlike 1914, however, the American public is anxious at the outset

to restrict American travel on the

Not to be interpreted as an indi-| cation of weakness or an unwilling- | ness to defend American rights un-| der international law, the public's attitude is one] more expression of the strong desire In most American minds to stay out of the present European war, To measure the public's views on these questions at the outset of the war, the ‘American Institute of Public Opinion has just completed a nation-wide fact-find-ing survey among men and women voters in every state and in every major occupation group—including wheat farmers and white-col-lar workers The results of the survey show: 1.

An equally large majority of voters (84 per cent) say that Ameiican ships should not be permitted to carry goods into the zones of war The Institute's actual questions were: 1. “Should allow its
