The story began in 1940 in Franco when the Germans archsrl into the holiday resort o Letouquet, 38 mile. from Bouiogne. when the Nizis charged in, the iD-oid-man was preparing to sail along the 008st 0f France in o. sailboat to 10in the French Army

However. his escape was out oil. at least for the time being, as the enemy made the townfolk virtual prisoners.

The now 24-year-old naval of- ficer said:

"From that moment I decided to escape," Five month; later he (lid, crossing the English Channel in o. fishing schooner with iour com- panions.

A brother later tried to follow Lieut. Williatte-Boitt-zt, but was captured and sent to Germany. aus cted of preparing to aid tho Alles in event of a landing in France.

The Lleutenant's first escape ot- tempt failed. but with the aid of a French woman he succeeded in contacting smne fishermen ryho took him across the Channrl

In making his escape Willi-atto- Battet made many journeys through occupied territory, and had num- erous narrow escapes from Ges-

More important than anythlnfl else, however. is the interpretation the demand of the U.S.S.R-.

m" and the United States that this de-

‘velopment is a clear indication o! the attitude of other nations to- wards the Commonwealth and the United Kingdom. These countries feel that the importance 0i the United Kingdom lies. not in her- self alone, but as the senior nation of the strongest union of nations in existence. The United Kinudflm new impoverished by the sacrifice of war. could not command the seat of the security council whic is now hers if it were not for the hacking behind her of the other nations of the Commonwealth.

tairi and. the United States have been confronted with the question of Polish representation at San Francisco. Previously it was raised with respect to the Polish Govern- ment at London when that regime protested against the treatment it was receiving. The government at London is recognized by both Bri- tain and the United States and ls a member of the United Nations.

Today's developments brought this one immediate question to the tip of many tongues:

“What edlfect will this have on the move to accept Argentina into the United Uations."

Moscow has been the most out- spoken of the United Nations on the pro-Axis charges made against the Argentine government and it has been expected here that the Soviets would probably want to veto any suggestion that Argentina be included in the California meet- rigs.

It seems certain that this situa- tion would become entangled with the Polish issue, assuming that they both reach the StB"6 pf neg- votiation among the id Gov-

emments.
