POLAND'S AIMS FOR FUTURE
POLAND is looking ahead to the day when she can play her part in a reconstruction of Europe based on the ideas of justice and freedom, as opposed to the "new order" of Hitlerism.
This was the message given by Poland's President, M. Racz- kiewicz, at Edinburgh Univer- sity recently when he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws.
in a brief outline of Poland's his- tory before she was partitioned between Germany, Russia and Aun- tro-Hungary, he told how she had always been a unifying force ir.
Eastern Europe, linking up with and at times protecting her snäller neigh- bour States.
At one time even the Prussians aimed at union with Poland "to free themselves from the Teutonic yoke."
"Geographical situation and history favoured voluntary unions of the antions situated between Russin and Germany," said M. Raczkiewicz.
"The course of the present war again, after many bitter experiences, confirms the expediency of suc! urlons."
