Gen. Sikorski, Polish Prime Minister, today officially confirmed that “tens of thousands” of Polish soldiers have arrived “some where in the Middle-East” from Soviet Russia and will be stationed on defense lines in Iran, Syria and Palestine.

Reports reaching well-informed quarters here state that Germany is apparently no longer relying on Italy with regard to projected naval action in the Mediterranean and is constructing huge drydocks and naval bases in Cadiz, Marseilles and other ports along the Mediterranean.
