Poles Want u. 5. Loan
For Reconstruction,
New Envoy Says
BY JOSEPH II. BAIRD.

A bid for substantial American
credit to finance the reconstruction
of Poland is being made by the
Warsaw government, according to
Dr.. Oscar Lange, former University
of Chicago professor, who has just
assumed the post of Polish Am
bassador to the United States.
Ambassador LANCE, who presented
his credentials to President Truman
yesterday as the first envoy of the
Polish Provisional Government, dis
cussed the economic and political
policies of the new regime at the
Polish Embassy.
In his formal speech at the White
House, the envoy had stressed to-
President Truman his governments
desire for extensive commercial re-
lations with other countries, par
ticularly with the United States"
Industrial Nation Seen.
He enlarged on this theme at his
press conference, declaring that in
view of Poland's acquisition from
Germany Of long Baltic coast line
as well as the coal fields of Silesia,
1t expected to become large manu-
featuring and exporting nation. Be-
cause of this, he said, Poland would
be able to repay substantial credits.
Pressed as to the size and type of
credits Poland wanted, the AM
bassador said that this had not
been determined, and then added:
There's no upper Initial we
can get"
Preliminaries Under Way.
Preliminary conversations already
are going on for credits from the
Export-Import Bank, he revealed,
although Poland has as yet made no
formal application. In addition, he
said, his government was investigat-
ing the possibility of obtaining both
Treasury and private loans for re-
construction.
Industrial machinery, tractors
bulldozers and other materials for
reconstruction are Poland's primary
needs, he said.
Asked how the credits would be
repaid, Ambassador LANCE said that
Poland reasonably expected to ex-
port large amounts of coal and
manufactured goods to Russia and
Western Europe and agricultural
commodities to the United States.
Coal production next year is esti-
mated at 100000 tons, of which
Soviet Russia has contracted for
100000.
Want to Hold Territories.
Reminded that Poland has been
given the Baltic area and part of
Silesia only tentatively by the Pots
dam agreement and that final ratifi-
cation awaited the peace conference,
he observed: s
There Is one question on which
the Polish people are unanimous,
and that is for retention of the
western territories"
He declined to comment on Secre-
tary of State Byrnes' recent adj
vocacy of general peace conference
In the near future. The Warsaw
government is understood to oppose
the suggestion, as it would like some
time to consolidate its position in
the newly-acquired areas before the
matter comes before an 'interna-
tional conference.
