Dec. 18 —- (AP) -- The United States today de- clared its agreement in principle to a partition of Poland. demand- ed by Russia and approved by Britain. The United States agreement. set forth in a statement by State Secretary Stettinius. was made con- ditioiial on mutual accord by the "United Nations directly concern- ed" in the new Polish frontiers. By these Nations. it was estab- lished. Mr. Stcttinius meant Pol- and and the Soviet Union. which seeks the eastern third of Poland. The State Secretary inferential- ly urged such an accord. saying it could contribute to prosecution of the war and that Poland could have United States assistance in transfers of population and re- habilitation of devastated areas. As a substitute for an American guarantee of their proposed new borders, ruled out by United States policy, the Poles were offered the general security envisaged under tlie United Nations organization. Mr. Stcttlnius. in the statement presumably issued with thc a proval of President Roosevct. made clear that the United States was not forcing on the Poles ac- ceptance of the Curzon Line. pro- posed by Russia and Britain as Poland's eastern border. with compensation of territory from East Prussia. I-!e expressed "fuli understand- ing and sympathy for the inter- csts of the Polish people." an un- equivocal stand for a "strong. free and independent Poland" and "un- irammelled right of the Polish to determine their own "it has been the consistently held policy of the United States Government that questions relat- ing to boundaries should be left in abcyanee until the termination of hostilities." Mr. Stcttinlus said. Recalling the previous statement of tlie former Slate Sccretar; Cordell Hull. that this policy did not rule out immediate agreement onldsome questions. Mr. Stettlnius l. . "In tlie case of the future front- iers of Poland. if a mutual agree- inciit is reached by thc United Nations directly concerned. this Government would have no ‘ob- jection to such an agreement which could make an essential contribu- tion to thc prosecution of the war against the common enemy." The statement continued: "The U. S. Government is work- ing for the establishment of a world security organization through which the United States together with other member states would assume TCSIJCITSIIJIIII)’ for thc pres- ervation cf general security." Polish circles hero exprcsed pleasure with tlie rcaffirmation of their right to decide their own future. Some hope was licld here that the indirect American assurance of security might bc an acceptable substitute for specific guarantees the Polisii Government had been demanding as a conditional ac- ceptance of the Curzon Line Vatican Paper Sees Seeds Of New War VATICAN CITY, Dec. l8 —(AP) L'Osservatore Romano. com- menting today on Prime Minister Churchill's stand in support of Russia's frontier Poland. said today "the example nf Poland makes one Versailles. where the last war was going to be was planted." demands or. think of buried and a new one ‘.._._...
