Agreement on New Regime
Welcomed by y, S. off;cioi.
: BY JOSEPH II. BAIRD,

The announced agreement be-
tween the soviet-sponsored Lublin
Poles and their democratic country
men for formation Of Polish gov
eminent of national unity was well
coined by American officials last
night as presaging solution of the
vexing Polish problem.
If and when a regime is estab-
lished in Warsaw along the lines
indicated in the formula drafted by
the Polish representatives at their
Moscow conference, officials said
the United States intends to grant
it diplomatic recognition.
Acting Secretary of State Grew
was obviously cautious in answering
questions submitted by correspond
ents on the agreement announced
at Warsaw. As to recognition, he
said that when the Polish provi-
sional government of national
unity had been properly formed in
conformity with the procedure pro-
vided At the Big Three conference
at Yalta, the United States was
obligated to establish diplomatic
relations with it.
Yaha Terms Almost Met.

nouncement fulfilled the terms Of
the Yalta agreement, Mr.. Grew said
that 1t constituted 4 substantial
