And Czecho-Slovakia

Warsaw, July 10,

In an article which is generally believed to be inspired by the Polish Foreign Office, the illustrated Cracow Courier points out that Poland has been committed to render millitary assistance to France only in the event of a direct attack on" French territory,

After referring to the charges in the French press--which as- serted that during the recent Czecho-Slovakian crisis, "when the peace of Europe hung merely by a thread of silk”—Poland not only" refused to take part in joint military action with France, Poland's ally, but intensified its press campaign' against Prague-the paper stresses that the Franco-Polish Puet of 1921 does not contain any clause which pleadges Poland to intervention on behalf of Czecho- Slovakia if France takes military measures for the protection of that country.
