Great Britain,
US. Trying to
Soothe Russia
Hope to Smooth
Over Rift With
Poland

Washington. Apr. 2S-lNS-The
United States and Great Britain
today are bringing strong diplo-
matte pressure TO bear on Russia
TO patch up its quarrel with the
Polish exile government.
Joint Anelo-American consulta-
tons are underway concerning the
situation. and separate diplomatic
approaches are being made to the
Soviet government by Washing
ton and London.
This government Is believed 20
be emphasizing TO Moscow two
points in connection with Russia s
diplomatic break with the Polish
government In London
First, that the break Is benefit.
ting the Nazi propaganda machine
more than anyone else.
Secondly. that this first split in
the political unity Of the United
Nations Is bound TO have an ad-
verse effect on the smooth func-
tioning OF the Allied war effort.
II the Soviet government is dis.
posed to patch things up. it is
believed that reconciliation for
mula can be worked out reason
ably soon.
Diplomatic verbiage may be
invoked to save the day, if Mos
COW wants 10 play ball. The ques-
ton already has been raised
whether the Russian word used in
connection with the break was
correctly translated into English.
The word was preryat. Moscow
dispatches say the word could be
translated to mean either Sever"
or suspend. II the Soviets
should agree TO accept the word
as meaning suspension rather
than severance. IT is believed the
way would be open for restoration
OF relations between the two gov
ernments.
