LONDON,
Feb.
27
(CP)
Prime
Minister
Churchill
has
told
the
British
House
of
Commons
that
his
government
will
demand
a
large
vote
of
confidence.
Mr.
Churchill
is
the
first
of
the
Big
Three
to
challenge
critics
of
the
Crimea
conference.
He
informed
the
House
today,
in
opening
a
three-day
debate
on
the
Big
Three
conference
and
the
current
war
situation,
that
peace
and
surrender
terms
had
been,
agreed
upon
which
would
prevent
Germany
from
making
war
for
generations.
Gives
Account
of
Crimea
Conference
Giving
the
first
public
account
by
one
of
the
principals
of
the
momentous
Crimea
conference,
Churchill
termed
the
proposed
Polish-Russian
boundary
"the
fairest
division
which
can
be
made
between
the
two
countries.'
Marshal
Stalin
had
given
"most
solemn
declarations"
that
Poland's
sovereignty
and
independence
would
be
maintained
and
"this
decision
has
now
been
joined
in
both
by
Great
Britain
and
the
United
States."
r
Churchill
added:
"The
im
pression
I
brought
back
from
rimi'fcii.-.olht;reounio
tacts
is
that
Stalin
and
(he
Soviet
leaders
wish
to
live
in
honorable
friendship
and
equality
with
the
western
de-
j
mocracies.
I
feel
also
that
their
word
is
their
bond.
I
I!
know
of
no
government
which
stands
on
its
obligations
more
solidly
than
the
Russian
Soviet
government."
.Mr.
Churchill
declared
that
the
great
powers
wtrc
completely
prepared
for
the
collapse
of
Germany.
The
Prime
Minister
declared
that
the
proposed
Polish
frontier
would
"not
sow
seeds
of
future
wars"
and
gave
personal
assurance
of
Russia's
good
faith
in
peace
plans.
In
demanding
the
vote
of
confidence
from
Commons,
on
Crimea
plans
for
a
peaceful
world,
Mr.
Churchill
challenged
particularly
thnsc
who
criticized
the
Polish
decisions,
He
promised
drastic
and
effective
steps
"to
render
offensive
action
by
Germany
utterly
impossible
for
generations
to
come"
and
called
upon
Germany
again
to
sur
render.
The
Prime
Minister
said
that
the
United
States
will
play
a
vitally
important
part
in
a
new
and
far
stronger
world
security
league
"which
will
not
shrink
from
establishing
its
will
against
the
evil-doer"
by
force
of
arms.
The
object
of
the
great
powers
in
war
as
In
peace
was
to
'save"
the
world
and
not
to
"rule"
It,
the
Prime
Minister
declared.
