Reverse Foreign Aid
pr ESIDENT TRUMAN in his admirable message to Congress on a four-year American aid program for European recovery outlined general policy and left details for later discussion. Some of these detailszare all-important. One concerns methods of foreign repayment of Amer- | ican loans. Another involves raw materials which are pro- |
duced abroad and are needed for our military stockpiles. |:
Obviously there is a close connection lietween these
two matters. Because any genuine foreign repayment to | ug in the long run must be in goods or services rather than in dollars, and because .of the kind and amount of foreign goods we can import without disrupting our own economy are limited, strategic materials are the best form of exnange.

Split in Ranks Of Poles Now Healed
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23—An understanding of far-reaching importance between former Premier Stanislaw Mikolajezyk of Poland and the Polish-American Congress has been reached in Chicago. Thus the split in the ranks of Poles in exile and Americans and others of Polish origin has been repaired when it was¢most needed, According to the “Chicago Agreement,” as it is called, Mr. MikolaJezyk now will join forces with six million 'Polish-Americans—and presumably with free Poles elsewhere—to fight for ‘a “truly inde- | pendent, strong Poland.”
|
“the great “evil” of Yalta, and pledges all concerned to work together ‘to repair the damage done” thereby. However, while condemning the 1939 partition of Poland and" the Yalta pact fixing her eastern frontier at the Curzon. line, it upholds the thesis of a Western frontier along the Oder and the Neisse.
Disagreement Began in 1945
IN OTHER WORDS, the “Chicago Agreement” calls for a return to Poland's pre-war boundaries in the East but for expansion westward at the expense of Germany. And that will complicate mattérs. While Russia backs Poland's present western frontiers, the United States | Insists that they take in too much territory.
| + The rift first appeared in 1945 when Mr. Mikola jozyk headed, the
Polish government-in-exile in London. At Yalta on Feb. 11, President J
Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Stalin signed a pact regarding Poland. She was to bg a strong, independent, democratic republic. A new, provisional government was to be set up at Warsaw composed of democratic leaders chosen from those mside and outside the country. | “Free and unfettered” elections would be held. Her eastern fron- | tiers should follow the Curzon line but, in the North and West, she was to have “substantial” territorial compensation.” “Final determina- ;
| tion” of these western accessions, however, would have to “await the peace conference.”
