An Interchange of views is in progress, however, between the United States and French and British, governments In an attempt, officials said, to map out a course of action promising; re sults. With the threatened political and economic collapse of Poland and re actions of similar gravity anticipated in states adjacent to the new republic, officials described the situation as approaching a point where self-inter-est would prompt the United States to act. V. S. Action Warranted. The view was expressed that the 'threat of, nullification of the victory over Germany was contained in the understanding said to exist between soviet Russia and Germany and that this offered sufficient provocation for rttrn hv the United States. It 1 held that as a power associated with the allies in the occupation of the Rhineland. the United States main tained an interest In the preservation nf the victory, although it had not ratified the peace treaty. Included among steps the United States might find itself compelled to take, officials suggested, were ex tension of credits to permit purchase by Poland of surplus war materials, a declaration of moral support for Poland and a warning to the soviet government not to trespass beyond Its boundaries. Military Aid Last Resort. Military aid, it was added, could be considered only if all else failed. Military authorities suggested that the brigade destined for Silesia ana detained in Germany, if sent to' Si lesia might steady Poland, Czecho slovakia and Germany. Complete strangulation of Poland by the cut ting of the Danzig corridor by the bolshevtkl. they said, was a grave eventuality which the presence or American troops might possibly avert. o long as the bolsheviki exercise complete censorship in soviet Ruesla little promise was seen by some of ficials of the success of a warning note to the soviet. Russians, for whom such a note would be destined, with a view to arraying them against the government, would be those whom it would never reach,' it was aid.
