Would Mean War Says Soviet Paper on Poland Germany Frontier
Berlin June 2 A Soviet official organ warned that any attempt to gain Poland’s annexation of German territory would provoke a new war. It also claimed the East German government is the legitimate representative of the German people. The paper noted Warsaw and Berlin talks last week on permanent marking of the Oder Neisse frontier, while Western powers say final border must await a German peace treaty. 50,000 Germans expelled from lands now administered by Poland and Czechoslovakia protested the Polish East German accord. The Rundschau said the United States aims to delay frontier acceptance to prevent a German peace treaty, and sees the frontier as provisional until peace.
