Warsaw, Oct, 16.
"Poland is a guided democracy and is suspicious of those who claim to be her friends" the Vice-Premier, M. Eugene Kwiatkowski, concurrently Finance Minister, declared today.
Speaking at Katowice to inaugurate the electoral campaign, he said, "We are not partisans of Fascism, we are enemies of Communism!
"We wish to be a disciplined and guided democracy but we reject the idea of a democracy of freemasonry or liberalism such as leads to nothing but discord among the nations.
"The world no longer belongs to these degenerated oligarchies and power has passed into the hands of the healthy nations, morally united and conscious of-their aims.
"During the past few weeks, we have found out that established friends a: e often more dangerous in their activities and more intransigent in their criticism than outright enemies" M. Kwiatkowski added.
He then launched an appeal for national unity, passing to affairs in connection with the country's internal policies.
He recalled that Parliament had been dissolved so that the Opposition might collaborate with the Government, He expressed regret, however, that this gesture had been rejected and that the Opposition had decided to boycott the coming elections.
"We will not tolerate a return to the Parliamentary chads existent before Marshal Pilsudski......In 1935, the Government felt themselves to be weak, but today, there is no element that can force them to resign or to make concessions against their will," the vice-Premier concluded—Havas.
Tokyo, Oct. 17.
Christmas and peace in the Orient is the title of an original cantata just published for distribution among Japanese residents abroad and Christians everywhere. The hymn is in ten parts and takes forty minutes to perform.
With the second wartime Christmas approaching in Japan, the music is designed to express to the world the righteousness of Japan's cause in China, according to its authors.
The music was composed by Mr. Shuichi Tsugawa, of Azabu Ward, and the words were written by Mr. Kiyoshi Saito, of Sugina-mi Ward, both avid students of church music. Inspired by the thought of Japanese soldiers shedding their blood on the battlefields of China for the sake of justice, the two are said to have aspired to inform the world through Christianity of "Japan's right and might."
The frst part of the cantata consists of a prelude and introductory song followed by the song of the Archangel. Then responsive reading, largo and with chimes ad lib, precedes part four, congregational singing. Parts five and six are titled song of the women waiting for the saviour and song of the shepherds. Then several trumpet measures introduce the Japanese patriotic march, which is followed by a song of peace in the Orient. Part nine is a prayer chant for "Our Fatherland" and part ten is a grand chorus of Christmas joy.
Copies of the composition will be mailed abroad soon.—Domei.
