otherwise" On Capitol Hill Senator Connall of Texas chairman of the Sens' Foreign Relations- Committee said "The settlement of boundaries arising from the war ought to be delayed until the definitive peace treaty The war la not over and other settlements are to be made and they ought to be made all together1 Senat tor Johnson (D-Colo) often a critic of administration foreign policy said after reading Stettlnlua' statement: "This language ia all very bewildering and confusing The fault must oe mine" Stettlnius in the statement pro sumably issued with the approval of President Roosevelt sought to steer a difficult course between the demands of hi sallies and the decencies due to PolandN Stettlnius made clear that the United States was not forcing on the Poles acceptance of the Curxon line proposed by Russia and Brit' sin as Poland's eastern border with compensation of territory from East Prussia He expressed "full understanding and sympathy for the Interests the Polish people" an unequivocal stand for a "strong free and Independent Poland" and "untrammelled right of the Polish people to determine their own future "Zt has been -the consistently held policy of the 8 government that questions relating to boundaries should be left in abejrance until the termination of hostilities" Stettlnius -aakl reading hia prepared statement at a news conference Recalling the previous statement of' former Secretary of State Hull that thla policy did not rule out Immediate agreement on some questions Stettlnius said In the key sentence of his statement: "In the case of the future Iron' tiers of Poland if a mutual agree' ment la reached by the United Nations directly concerned this government would have no objection to such an agreement which could make an essential contribution to the prosecution of the war against the common enemy" The use of the word "essential" emphasized the 1 need for Soviet-Polish agreement a a seen by this government The carefully worded statement while withholding a soeclflc guarantee of frontiers said: "The government Is working for the establishment of a world security organisation through which United States together with other member states would assume responsibility for the preservation of general security" Polish circles here expressed pleasure with the reaffirmation of their right to decide their own future Some hope wu held here that the Indirect American assurance of security might be an acceptable substitute for specific guarantees the Polish government had been demanding a conditional acceptance of the Curzon
