He said it would take & couple of months to work out
the arrangements with the Italians, since they wish to avoid
any possibility of mutiny in the Italian Fleet and the
scuttling of the ships.

THE IR IME MINISTER remarked that it would be one of
the advantages to be attained from Turkey even if she did
not enter the war; namely to permit the passage of war
vessels through the Dardanelles.
THE PRESIDENT, turning to the subject of Poland, said
it was his hope that negotiations could be started for the
re-establishment of relations between the Polish and Soviet
Governments. He felt that the re-establishment of relations
would facilitate any decisions made in regard to the questions
at issue. He said he recognized the difficulties which lay
in the way.
MARSHAL STALIN replied that the Polish Government in
exile were closely connected with the Germans and their agents
in Poland were killing partisans. He said it is impossible to
imagine what is going on in Poland.
THE PRIME MINISTER said the great question before the
English was the fact that they had declared war because of
the German invasion of Foland.
He said he personally had been astonished when Chamberlain
had given the guarantee in April, 1939 to Poland when he had
refused to fight for the Gzechs. lie had been astonished and
glad.
He said that England and France had gone to war in
pursuance of this guarantee and it was not that he regretted
it, but still it would be difficult not to take cognizance of
the fact that the British people had gone to war because of
Poland.
