Poland Sees No Reason To Doubt Adolf Hitler

Warsaw, To-day.

Whatever may be the future of Franco-Polish re- lations, Poland is prepared, says the semi- official “Gazeta Polska" yesterday, to continue to pursue it's policy of close co-operation with Germany.

A warning against the German menace issued in certain sections of the French Press, "Paris," has found its answer here in argument that, co-operation between Poland and Germany has worked well, during the last five years and that there is no reason for presuming that this co-operation will cease on January 26, 1944.

Moreover, reference is made of Chancellor Hitler's assurance that with the settlement of the settle- ment of the Sudeten problem, the Reich has no further territorial claims in Europe.

Poland, it is contended, sees no reason to cast doubt upon these assurances of Adolf Hitler, which have been made in a private con- versation as well as publicaly.

As regards Franco Polish rela- tions, it is pointed out that pact has a real value only when it serves in the common interests of the two partners, who have concluded the pact. Trans-Ocean.
