He raised the question of main
taining the Monroe Doctrine
above United States party poli
tics, and asserted that he spoke
for the Democrats as well as Re
publicans in pledging that the
"historic policy is not going to be
changed no matter what party is
; in power."
Landon's words were regarded
as an effort to allay any fears,
attributed in some circles to Ar
gentina. that the "good neighbor"
policy was a matter of the dura
tion of President Roosevelt's ad
ministration. .
Landon minced no words in his
indirect references to Japan and
the European totalitarian re
gimes as "growing harder and
more brutal every day."

POLES FEAR LAND MAY
BE BATTLEGROUND
WARSAW, Poland. Dec. 19.—
t (UP)—Polish leaders last night
expressed fears the expanding
Ukrainian independence move
ment might eventually embroil
Germany and Soviet Russia in
war with Poland as their battle
ground.
Poland's foreign policy at the
[ moment is dominated by the
I Ukrainian issue, which appears
to be gaining strength through
the sympathy of Nazi Germany
with whom Warsaw has cooperat
! ed closely during the past five
! years despite her anti-Nazi alli
ances.
It is admitted here that Ger
many's support of the Ukrainian
independence movement is not
inspired by an anti-Polish pro
gram but appears to be directed
against Soviet Russia more than
any other single power.
Poland, it was admitted, would
find it difficult to counteract any
secession movement among her
7,000,000 Ukrainians — nearly
one-fourth of the entire Polish
population—if an independent
Ukrainia were established. But
the danger would be even greater
! if fighting broke out on the
Ukrainian issue between Ger
many and Russia.

I attorney general and ace

I oral agents were making an effoit
! to coordinate the investigation ot
Coster's gun-running activities, i
; which acting U. S. Attorney
| ory Noonan said the government
had obtained conclusive proot.
I The smuggling of' arms and mu
nitions to belligerent nations, ac
cording to investigators, was a
natural outgrowth of. Costers pro
hibition days' activities, when he
onerated an illicit alcohol and
nim-running business under t.ie
<niise of a simple hair tonic estab
lishment. When he entered < the
wider drug field, it was Panted
lout, he had contacts, equipment
and other means to abandon one
type of smuggled Roods lor an
other, even more lucrative.
Despite their "conclusive proot
! federal authorities were convinced
that thev had but scratched the
! surface 'of Coster's munitions
; smuggling business, both as to its
i extent end personnel.
1 The state department represen
1 tative, it was explained, would at
i tend the session to study the ef
fect upon diplomatic, relations ot
this country with those nations
which could be shown to,,have re
ceived arms ind munitions in cases
marked 4imilk of magnesia.
' While lawyers for the other Mu

Dietrich. Robert D.etr;ch. and
Robert Vernard -- denied ,n^ [j
nantlv that .they would plead gui"
tv, there were persistent reports
that at least Georce -Dietrich, a. -
! sistant treasurer, of the drug firm,
i was 14'readV to telle.
It was believed that although a
• not- guilty" pleft might be entered
for Dietrich todav in New i oik,
an attempt- might -be made for
quick solution of the complex case
' by some .deal in which Dieti iclh
would tell what he knew of the
firpi and its presidents opera
t,0This would have its prebedent
in the 'previous, entanglements ot
Philip Musica with the law. He
twice pleaded guilty to charges,
obtaining a light sentence and
suspended sentence. His third
brush, a perjury case, resulted in
his disappearance; to turn up
again as F. Donald Costei.

not pursue that line.of question

that Philip Musica was not tbe
