To Middle East

LONDON, Nov. 14 (Reuter),--"A Polish brigade stands alongside of the British in the Middle East, ready to fight all who declare that Poland has been-liquidated," declared General Sikorski, the Polish Prime Minister, at a luncheon in Grosvenor House in honour of Poland.

The peace which will conclude the war, he said, must not be a peace ofe! vengeance but an aet of justle, ex- cluding armed conflicts between nations for many generations.

“We Poles," he said, “are not only fighting to get back our country: we have wider aspirations of which we have already given definite proofs by a comprehensive understanding with Czectio-Slovakia, thus beginning a real federation of European Powers."
