Now the Manchester Guardian comes out and says editorially that Poland will likely be Hitler's next victim. Says the Guardian: "The Germans aro now soriously planning to treat Poland as they treated Czechoslo- vakia. By promoting the independ~ coco of the Polish Ukranians, Gets many could bring about the dis. membermont of Poland just. as the annexation of the Sudetenland meant the dismomborment of Czechoslovakia.
