THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
. Poland Collapses
Between 2 Foes; Allies to Fight On
ee ——————————
Stalin and Hitler Agree to Divide Spoils; Government Flees to Rumania; Smaller Nations Frightened.
(Continued from Page One)
Allied powers would lead {0 a new peace proposal by Adolf Hitler—possibly through Italian Premier Benito Mussolini or through Joseph V. Stalin of Russia—generally was indicated in Berlin. But such a peace offer would be made, it
was emphasized, on the basis of a great Nazi triumph in
Europe and an alignment of powers on an unprecedented scale against Great Britain and France. “What are Britain and France fighting Germany for, anyway?” was the question posed in Berlin.
Allies Say ‘We Will Fight On’
In both London and Paris, the press again emphasized that such a move would be rejected and that the Allied Governments were in the fight until Hitlerism was crushed. The Soviet troops had been ordered into Poland on “ mission of emancipation” Saturday night.
al
German armies, pushing eastward to meet the Russians, |
were crushing the remnants of Poland's fighting force in a vise that stretched to Brest-Litovsk in the north and Dro- | hobycz, east of Lwow, in the south, while word was expected monentarily in Berlin that Nazis were storming Warsaw. | The Polish Government, harassed by advance Nazi columns and menaced by Nazi bombs exploding close to the | Rumanian frontier, fled toward Bucharest in the hope of continuing to France Bitterness against what was termed Stalin's “betrayal” of Poland grew in Britain and France, but it was indicated |
that both Governments still held hope that a Nazi-Com-
munist war bloc could be averted and that Hitler might yet find it advisable to leave the bulk of his Eastern Front troops in Poland. Large numbers of Nazis, however, already have been transferred to reinforce the Westwall facing France where official communiques said that “all was quiet” during | the last 36 hours on the Western front.
What Does Stalin Want
Technically, both Britain and France were pledged! declare war against Russia on the basis of their mutual aid pacts with Poland and regardless of the Moscow announce- | ment that they were remaining “neutral” in the European war while moving into Poland to protect the Ukrainian and the White Russian minorities.
But in fact it was not considered likely that either Lion
don or Paris would take such action, as it could be of no help at present to the crushed Poles and might end whatever chance there may be of preventing a combination—envisaged by many Nazis—of Germany, Russia and Japan against the so-called Western democracies.

Among the refugees were some who had come all the way from Warsaw. They reported that on their departure from there last Thursday parts of the city had been devastated by airplane raids.
