London, To-day.
ACCORDING TO FOREIGN observers in Berlin, Ger- man public opinion is being prepared for the pos- sibility that Soviet Russia may “inherit” those sections of Poland containing White Russian and Ukrainian minorities.

"Finally. comparison with the Evangelical Church cannot improve matters, since it only confirms the impression of indiscriminate intentions against Christian religious life." Reuter.
