Roosevelt acted as moderator of the long debate on this issue.
It was a matter of principle with Churchill, since Britain had declared war in behalf of Poland.
To Stalin it was a matter of life and death.
He made this completely clear.
Speaking with `` great earnestness '', he said: `` For the Russian people, the question of Poland is not only a question of honor but also a question of security.
Throughout history, Poland has been the corridor through which the enemy has passed into Russia.
Twice in the last thirty years our enemies, the Germans, have passed through this corridor.
It is in Russia's interest that Poland should be strong and powerful, in a position to shut the door of this corridor by her own force.
It is necessary that Poland should be free, independent in power.
Therefore, it is not only a question of honor but of life and death for the Soviet state ''.
