...trained ear of the British Foreign Office, the charge was a challenge. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden set to work to make sure that hotheaded Poles gave a soft answer to Red wrath. In his endeavor he had the aid of reasonable, democratic Premier Stanislaw Mikolajczyk and of a Polish Socialist, Deputy Premier Jan Kwapinski. With other moderates in the Polish Cabinet, these men labored long last week to produce an answer which-so they thought-would mend the worst fracture in the United Nations' frame. Five times the Cabinet met. Five times Mikolajczyk or Foreign Minister Tadeusz Romer...
Official Poland's principal spokesman, exiled Premier Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, is an affable, diffident and calm man with a shrewd mind. Last week in London he stood on Poland's official demand for the complete restoration of its borders as they were before Germany and Russia divided the country in 1939. He and other government Poles still look to the U.S. and its people to support the Polish position, even hope for some official U.S. declaration in Poland's favor.

Last week, when Mikolajczyk was asked to define "Polish rights," he answered: "A strong, free and independent Poland, with free, happy citizens." Joseph Stalin himself has declared that Russia wants a strong and independent Poland, and that Russia would welcome a Soviet-Polish alliance against the Germans. Says Miko lajczyk: "I want a strong and friendly Russia for the same reason." But the only signs of compromise had come from the Poles. Moscow held rigidly as ever to its demands, underscoring them again this week with the declaration that the "Curzon Line" (see map), well inside pre-1939 Poland, must...
...iron fist -is Poland. But diplomatic relations between Russia and the Polish Goyernment in Exile have been suspended for months, and neither side seems keen to renew them. Last week the Polish Cabinet called a meeting to discuss the situation, then called it off when Premier Stanislaw Mikolajczyk was bedded with the flu. Polish press comment took the general line that Poland would be glad to join up, provided the Russians would guarantee Poland's pre-1939 borders-a proposition which the Russians would probably regard as laughable...
