Stirring Call To Poland

A stirring call to the Po- lish nation to endure still further for "the dawn that is already high" was made yesterday by Gen- eral Sikorski, Polish Prime Minister, in a broadcast to Poland.

General Sikorski said the Ger- mans have now traversed the height of their successes and in- stead of ending the war last Au- tumn, they must improvise for a further course.

Mussolini had suffered a pain- ful reverse and was a burden not a help to Hitler. He had laid bare the weak point of the Axis powers which might be- come in course their break- down.

A complete change in the Bal- kan situation might compel Rus- sia to revise her previous policy but peoples subjugated on the Continent are lifting their heads and strengthening their packs more and -more impatiently waiting for the day of liberation which, for the Germans, will be a day of merited and severe punish- ment."-Reuter,
