Sep 18,1939 PROTEST IN LONDON
With the Red Army entering Poland, the Eastern Front is all but gone; France and Britain had provided a guarantee of Poland's "independence and territorial integrity," and now the country is invaded from both sides and in the process of being divided up. France and Britain, meanwhile, are facing the fact that they are likely about to see the full might of the Germany military brought to bear on the Western Front. On Wednesday (two days hence), Prime Minister Chamberlain is expected to make his weekly address to Parliament and to outline the British government's official position on Russia's invasion of Poland. Meanwhile, Poles in London are protesting Russia's violation of the Russo-Polish non-aggression pact, without invoking the protections of France and Britain as had been done when the Germans invaded. It is hoped that there is little enough trust between Germany and Russia that the Germans might feel it necessary to leave much of their eastern forces in place as long as Russia has 4 million men under arms.
