ISSUE STATEMENT ON
 PEACE NEGOTIATIONS

Warsaw, August 22.-Ihe foreign or flee issued the following communication tonight regarding the negotiations be- tween the Poles and the bolsheviki at Minsk:
 "The foreign office received satur- day a cipher radio dispatch sent by way of Moscow. This was number 7 and from it it appears that there has been sent first telegram which has not been received. From this tele- gram it seems that the soviet delega- ton put certain formal difficulties Tn the way of the Polish delegates in the matter of the mutual investigation of credentials. but finally began nego- tiations. the terms presented by the soviet only becoming known to us from press dispatches.
 "On several points they are more drastic than the conditions given the British government by NJ. Kamaneff (one of the bolshevik representatives in London). and of course. will not be accepted by the Polish government.
 Current events on the front seem to have considerable influence on the attitude and conduct of the soviet com missaries and are making them more inclined to discuss matters. This is characteristic in the face of the fact that the Polish delegation does not confirm the receipt of wireless dis patches which are sent daily to Minsk and also by way of Mescow. It would seem that notwithstanding several clear agreements, teiegraphic commit nication with our delegates is diff cult"
