London, Aug. lith. —The bye-election for the Woodbridge Division of East Suffolk, resulted as follows: Mr Church man, Coalition Unionist, 9,898. Mr. Har- ben, Labourite, 8,707 London, Aug. 10th.—'‘We certainly are going to appeal to the United States,”” said Mr. Lloyd George in the House of Commons this afternnon in reply to a question as to what the posi- tion of the United States would be re- garding Poland. There is of course the difficulty, that up to the present she has not ratified the treaty, and that the treaty is the subject of conflict between the two grea. paries. Itis not in our power to say what view the United States KExecutive would take. lam on- ly judging from the a:titude of the Uni- ted States at the peace conference. She was a strong protagonist of Polish in- dependence. No man could have taken a more determined and zealous part in setting up Polish independence than President Wilson, and I am certain that whatever differences of opinion there may be in the United States -vith re- gard to the League of Nations, there would be no differences of opinion in their general attitude towards Polish independence.”’ The Premier deciared that up to the present Great Britain was taking no steps to assist in anv attack on Soviet Russia inside hei own territory, sinee the (Govts changed pol- icy was announced. He declared that it negotiations with Soviet Russiz had . broken down because of the Bolshevi- | ki attitude, and the Allies had cut Russia | off from the ou'side world, there would ' “be an end to any trade negotiations. ''lf they want peace, he said, ‘‘they can get ~it, and the London Conference proposal | was intended to establish peace’’. Re- t plying to the contention of the Labour | Deputation that the Soviet Govt. was be- } ing attacked merely because it was a rev- | olutionary Govt., the, Premier pointed - out that the first three Govts. following ' the downfall of the Imperial Regime had ! been r_ocognized and that the Allies had | only broken with the Moscow Govt. be- | cause it violated the allied bond by mak- ' Inga separate peace. ; | Washington, Aug. 10th.—The position of the United States ovt. on the pres- ent Polish situation was set forth in 1 note to the Italian Govt. addressed to " Baron Camillo Romano Avezzana, Italian l Ambassador at Washington, and was n | response to a request of the Italian Govt. for such an expression: "‘This Govt. be- l lieves in a united, free and autonomous Polish State, and the people of the United = States are earnestly solicitous for the . Poland’s independence and territorial in- tegrity,”’ said the note, ‘‘from this artj- tude we will not depart. The CGovt. therCfOl'e takes no excentinn to thoe thi)i'{ | apparently being made in some quarters ‘ to arrange an armistice between Poland ‘ and Russia but it would not, at least for the present, participate in any plan for expansion of the armistice negotiations into a general European conference, which could in all probability involve two resuits from both of which this country strongly reecoils, viz: the recognition of the Bolshevik regim: and a sett]e- ment of Russian problems almost inevi- tably upon the basis of a dismember- ment of Russia.”” The fote deciares rhat from the beginning of the Russian revo.- lution to the present time, the United States has followed with friendly soliei tude and profound sympathy the efforts of the Russian people to re-construct their national life, upon che broad basis of popuiar self-government’’. The not: is signed by Mr. Colby, Secretary of | State. | Warsaw, Aug. 11th.—A concentration and re-grouping of the Polish forces for an extensive counter-offensive on the entire Warsaw front is reported by to- ' day’s newspapers.
