For Charging Murder
OF Polish Officers
Tells Commons Britoin's
Sole Desire Is to Heal
Breach With Russia
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, May 4.-Foreign Secre-
tary Anthony Eden, in a statement
to the House of Commons on Polish
Russian relations, today condemned
"the cynicism which permits the
Nazi murderers of hundreds of thou
sands of innocent Poles and Russians
to make use OF story of mass
murder to disturb the unity of the
Allies"
The British government, Mr.. Eden
declared, used its influence from the
outset in an effort to persuade the
Poles and the Russians not to allow
the German maneuvers any success.
The government, he added, blamed
no one except the common enemy"
for the dispute arising from Polish
demand for a Red Cross investiga-
ton of German charges that the
Russians murdered 10000 Polish
officers near Smolensk prior to the
Russian war.
Mr.. Eden said the British govern
ment's sole desire was to heal the
breach between Moscow and the
Polish government -in-exile here "as
swiftly as possible" and to restore
Russian Polish relations to the basis
established by the collaboration
agreement Of 1941.
To that end Britain is working "in
the closest consultation and COL
laboration with the United States"
he added.
Expressing hope that the states
manship which resulted In the
previous Polish Russian agreement
would once more prevail, Mr.. Eden
