HEATED SPEECH BY POLISH

UN DELEGATE

Flushing Meadows, New York, May 17.- All the average Briton wants is "beef and ale, fish and chips." He doesn't give a damn for Cyrenaica."

This was stated today by M. Jan Droho- jowski, Polish delegate, when the U.N. General Assembly returned to the debate this after- noon on the future of Italy's pre-war Colonies.

The average Briton, Drohojowski added, is merely told he must be subservient to the purposes and alms of United States imperialism. "And these are too obvious to need restating."
