...Americans was not repeated in Poznan, where the people knew better.) There were signs of a conflict between Party Secretary Edward Ochab (once described by Stalin as "a Communist with some teeth in him"), who was said to be for reprisals, and Premier Jozef Cyrankiewicz, a turncoat Socialist and ex-inmate of Nazi concentration camps (four years in World War II), who was for continuing to ease conditions.

Nevertheless there was weight to their argument that the "law for tax equality," which was passed by a majority of Communist and Socialist votes, will in fact perpetuate inequality. Many big investors intend to keep right on dodging taxes by transferring their holdings to dummy Swiss corporations (which can be set up for only $300 a year in legal fees). Holders of government bonds, savings accounts, etc. totaling $2 billion (v. only $190 million worth of privately owned stock) will still be allowed to play ring-around-a-rosy with...
