tone OF the governments declaration

tionary difficulties in the last few
years to English leadership, directed
verbal batteries against England.
The only mention made OF Po-
lands responsibilities was to the
effect that her protestation Of re-
grets over the assassination OF the
Soviet minister was the usual pro-
cedure of bourgeoise diplomatic ETH
quette.
The government Communicate

r.
The newspapers. in line with this
declaration. declare that Poland can
only prove her sincerity in express

diation of the British policy Of ag-
erosion against the Soviet union"

have consented TO the presence of
