Next War To Come
From Asiatic
Russia
SEATTLE, Feb. 13—(/P)—The
Hon. Gerald G. McGeer, K. C.,
member of the Canadian Senate,
aserted yesterday it was “ridicu
lous” for Canada and the United
States to “make other nations
strong at the expense of weaken
ing ourselves.”
He told a news conference the
“next war” could be expected to
be aimed from Asiatic Russia and
China at the North American con
tinent through Alaska, Yukon Ter
ritory, British Columbia and the
State of Washington.
“Let’s hope,” he said, “that we
never have to defend ourselves
1 against Russia, but certainly we
don’t want to be in the position
of defending ourselves without
having made adequate prepara
tions.”
He urged that the Canadian and
U. S. governments, jointly and im
mediately, “develop a real mea
sure of security along the North
Pacific coast, militarily and eco
nomically, with seaways, airways,
highways, and railways, and more
population.
He said the North Pacific coast
line was the only “vulnerable ap
proach” at present to the contin
ent, and would be the “Belgium
of the future” war.

Poles" Hardships i
Worst In Europe
Spokesman Says
By LARRY ALLEN
OP) Newsfeatures
WARSAW, Poland — Dr. Emil j
Sommerstein, chief of the war
reparations section of the Polish |
government says Poland suffered
“biologically, culturally and eco
nomically” during the war to a
far greater degree than any other
European country.
“Germany,” he said in a recent
interview, “aimed to break the
Polish nation biologically. That is
why the losses directly due to war
are only seven and one-half per
cent, while those due to Nazi kill
ings, persecution and torture are
92Vfe per cent.
“Poland, with six million Poles
and Jews murdered, is undoubted
ly the first country in the tragic
classification of war destruction.”
Dr. Sommerstein said property
losses amounted to six billion dol
lars, already reported by Polish
individuals to the reparations sec
tion. Along with losses sustained
by state properties, this total is
expected to reach twenty billion—
based on a pre-war value of five
zlotys to each American dollar.
He asserted Poland’s reparations
question already is answered in
that her share of what is to be col-:
lected from Germany constitutes
part of that included in Soviet
Russia’s claims.
Sommerstein estimated the Ger
mans seized and deported from
Poland over 1,200,000 men and
650,000 women during the six-year
Nazi occupation.
