The Longest Fight The second World War is five; ears old At dawn on Sept. I. the German aimies marched into; Poland. Today the weary remnants and replacements of those armies; are being toned back through Po-1 land toward the same borders, which the Nazi invaders crossed so confidently five years ago. i organized hostilities in lasted 33 days But the never stopped lighting.

Even betoie the i a pit ula ion. the late General Sik-orski succeeded in tormina an army of 80 000 in Fiance to carry on the battle. And at home guerrilla units! were organizing which eventually liecame the underground army of 230.000 that now. alter live years cf stealthy, weak lfsistance, is striking a strong and oim blow against the oppressor. The Polish forces outside of Poland have fought unceasingly for the victory that is now in sight.

They went through the bat tie of, France in 1940. and were the tirst men into Narvik in the ill-fated invasion of Norway. Another army; was organized anions released pris-j oners in Russia. Seventy-live thou-; anri men were transferred to the: Middle East. These fought through 1 the Libyan campaign and are now aiding the advance in Italy.

Anoth- er 80.000 are lighting with the Red; Army. The Polish navy was at Dunkiik. and Dieppe. Its small force ot war-; ships participated in the Bismaick attack, and in Atlantic and Medi-! terranean operations. And FlHish merchantmen have sailed all the: world's oceaivs in Allied convoys.

The 12.000 men of Poland air; force have flown more than 7000; sorties, dropping almost 8.000 tonsi of bombs and destroying or damag-i ing upwards of 1000 enemy aircratt In the past five years Poland has: last almost one-fitth of her pre-: war population 6 .600.000 killed in I battle or by torture, privation and disease. Yet the brutal punish-i mrnt that Nazi sadism could devise: has not been able to weaken Rolands hope, or kill her resistance. Poland's contribution to victory may seem small when compared with the armies and inoustiial might of America or Britain or Russia. But Poland's contribution of spirit and coinage has been very great. Without this example, and its later reflection in England.

France mid Norway, in Greece and Yugo slavia and Ru.ssia. freedom in En- rope could not have survived to i pe no i victory. Now that victory is in sight, at the end of five years of war. it is that we should remember I proper and hail the nation which has fought the longest, and suffered the most The man who coined the expression "dirt cheap" should have lived so long as to talk to a real estate opciator now. The question is raised of what to do with those German generals.

Well armv radio is goina to per mit live political parties to broad-j cast to the boys every week but I still think they'd rather have Cros-i by or Helen Haves. Most political speeches aren't interesting even when you can turn 'em oil and I wonder if the boys will listen voiuntarily or have to be detailed.

Dewey studied singing and may be able to give em a chorus of Shortiiin' Bread" and the President can read Dickens like the dick- ens but I don't know about Norman Thomas. Anyway, if woise comes to worst, listening to the candidates can be made a substitute for KP punishment. But I don't think any so'dier should lie compelled to listen to all five broadcasts in any one week. That is cruel and inhuman no, matter how you look at it and besides there is nothing in the draft law that savs that a soldier withj unpunetured ear drums shall expose them to needles hazard. I don't know what the candidates will say but Mi bet the liest line will fcc "thank you for your atten-i lion and goodbye." Thought for the Day: Is anybody listening Washington i By PETER ED SON, NEA Serrlce Washltiftoa Correspondent.

The futility of official efforts to maintain an air of sanctified uprer strosphere mystery about- the Amri -ican-British-Russian conferences on postwar senility, now going on at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, is best illustrated by the tad that details of the American plan leaked out at the Republican national convention in Chicago last June. Nobody caied then and it makes no different now. so all the effort to maintain super-secret seems a little bit sillv. Amer- The original leak on thr ioan plan came during the drafting of the- Republican platform. tryinc to draw up the planks on pokey, the irsolutions sub-', committee assigned this job ran into There was still a coxi tit isolitionis the p.ui- and furtheimot the OOP politicians wanted to be tree to criticize thi Roosevelt loreian policy and lav it on thii and goxi.

This attitude made it difficult to set into the platform any statements of principle that would eo even as far as the Republican declaration of Mackinac Island in which, neaily a year be tore. GOP senators, gover-1 nors an big shots came out unanimously tor joining an organization of nations to maintain a just and lasting peace. To sell the resolutions committee on the necessity tor drafting a plat-foim that would endorse something that kind. Republican Senators Austin. Yandenberg.

and White, who were members of a foreign re lations subcommittee familiar with; Secretary of State Cord ell Hulls plans, finally felt forced to disclose to an executive session of the foreian 1-vlicy plank drafters some of the, details on how it was piTpvsed to, maintain peace by force. From these I gations at Dumbarton Oaks. The plan called for an assembly of oeare-loviiio nations in -lih I each nation would have only one vote. At the top. however, would be a council of eight nations, indud- ino IhA fTnifrtJ is ain.

It has. oi course, been disclosed recently that this proxisal might be modified to include France with the big tour and to increase to seven the numlx'r of smaller nations on the council. Dist losuie of even much of the American plan, as early as last June, made no ditference in the end result. No governments fell, no diplomats were toned to turn in their roit folios, and the con-lerence was held just as scheduled.
