PARLEY URGED BY CHURCHILL

Reveals Unity Reached Temporary Rule for

Balkans.

By PHIL AULT United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Oct. -27.—Prime Minister Churchill today expressed earnest hope that Premier Stalin, President Roosevelt and he may meet again within two months, presumably after the U. 8S. election, and revealed Russia and Britain have proposed a temporary “united government” for the Balkan countries to aid in prosecuting the war against Germany. Mr. Churchill told the house of commons that his Moscow consulta-

-|tions with Stalin achieved “highly

satisfactory” results, including full agreement on the Balkans and Hungary, progress on the thorny Polish question and a review of military problems arising in the “last lap” of the war. Emphasizes Responsibility “I am satisfied,” he said, “that the results achieved on this occasion at Moscow have been highly satisfactory. But I am quite sure that no final result can be obtained until the heads of the three governments have met again together as I earnestly trust they may do before this year is at its end.” |

“824 Mr,” Churchill emphasized

strong feeling that responsibility for peace in the post-war era rests with the three great powers—Britain, America and Russia. Mr. Churchill said he and Stalin achieved “very good working agree-

ment” on policies relative to Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Hungary.

Discusses Polish Issue “We have invited them to come together,” he said, “and form a uiien government for the purpose of carrying on the war.” Mr. Churchill discussed the Polish issue, choosing his words with great care. He said it involved “two crucial issues”—the question of Polish frontiers and the relations of the London and Lublin Polish governments. “I wish I could tell the house
