RUSSIA REVIVES
POLISH PROBLEM
Continued from Pare One,

The Russian reply, as understood
fatty: "
You can have Argentina il
we get Poland"
The, Soviet contention is that
Poland has suffered and fought
throughout the war on the side
OF the United Nations, while Ar.
gentina has favored and actually
cooperated with the Axis-an &C
cusation frequently levelled by the
Moscow press.
Russia has expressed under
standing of problems of western
hemssIinere solidarity, however,
and is willing to permit the Argen-
tines to come to San Francisco
provided the Poles also come.
The conference steering CON-
mittee solidly rejected a proposal
to invite Poland Friday, adopting
instead resolution expressing
sympathy and admiration for the
people of Poland and hope that a
new, broadened government could
be constituted in time to send
delegates to the conference.
Molotov, at that time, voiced
a reservation, claiming the right
to raise the problem again, but
was drowned out by a chorus of
mos"
The other delegates thought the
conference had sidestepped Sue
cessfully the Polish problem, I'M
til it was thrown back at them
prompt the next day by the Sow
let com.nissar.
Another rejection of an invitation
to Poland appears inevitable, with
the majority of delegations lining
up solidly behind the United
States and Britain in their ada
mant stand against the present
Warsaw government.
What the Soviet attitude toward
a second rejection might be could
not be determined.
The three-power commission,
set up at the Crimean conference
to broaden the Warsaw govern
ment, remains at loggerheads, al
though the American and British
representatives, w. Averell Harri-
man and Sir Archibald Clark
Kerr, are here with Molotov, the
Soviet member.
The issues over which they are
locked have not been made public,
pending continuance of the ne
gotiations, but it is understood that
they will be thrown open to the
public. if the United States and
Britain become convinced further
progress is impossible.
The impression here is that. the
Crimean discussion of a new Polish
government was exceptionally
easy, but that since then there
has been a reversal of Soviet pol
icy.
The question of inviting the Poles
to San Francisco was not raised
in the Crimea, since it was ex-
pected that the new government
would be constituted by now.

Mussolini's reported execution
