STRUGGLE ONLY BEGUN

OPINION IN PARIS AID FOE POLISH CAUSE (Reed. Sept. 25, 10 a.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 24. The Paris correspondent of the New York Times says that the Premier of France, M. Daladier, was able to report to London yesterday a more satisfactory situation than that of last week. Although the German propagandists are dwelling on the British and French inability 'to give Poland effective aid it is pointed out in Paris that neither promised to prevent the invasion nor immediately to throw their whole weight against Germany. If the Poles were attacked they would take up the fight. They had done so, it was believed, in the manner most likely to lead to the ultimate salvation of the Polish cause. More and more it is insisted in Paris that the struggle has only begun. Those in a hurry would be better to revise the whole conception as to how victory can be assured. The Mediterranean is still held the real centre' of interest. Herr Hitler’s aim from the outset of his career has been to give Germany an outlet to the Mediterranean. Hence Russia’s intervention is not deemed entirely disastrous. It is seen that she is lending to re-establish the balance in Eastern Eurooe and the Balkans.
