WARSAW. July 4 (NANA) =
The tanks have pulled out of
the center of Poznan and the
eyes of the Polish people are
once again focused on the cap
ital
1t is from Warsaw that the
answer to the uppermoSt ques-
ton will come. Will the govern
ment go forward to meet the de-
mands for better living condi-
tions? A man named Jan Wro-
blewski thinks he knows.
"Poznan has helped all of us. p"
Mr. Wroblewski said yesterday.
Life will now be better. The
administration cannot afford to
let it get worse"
Mr.. Wroblewski, a 48-year- old
semiskilled worker. reflects the
opinion of many ordinary Poles
with whom this reporter has
spoken. He was confronted while
he was sitting in a park eating
his lunch.
Look at this" he said, point
ing to half a sausage on a slab
of bread. 1T is all I will eat
until tonight. Then will have a
bowl of soup and go to sleep early
so I will not burn too much
energy"
No New Suit in Eight Years
Jan earns an average salary
of S32 a month. 1t takes him
five hours to earn enough to buy
a pound of meat. He has not had
a new suit in eight years. A suit
consumes two months wages

ton. 1t points to a fairly clear
picture that the general strike,
created by Poles themselves, was
caused by economics rather than
politics. 1t brought dramatically
into the open a condition that
has been simmering in Poznan
and other industrial cities for
some time: discomfort over a
new incentive" system that
lowers the take-home pay.
The incidental factors were
resentment against a secret
police patterned on Soviet lines
and Impotence with the way in
which liberalization is proceed
ing. But the most glaring les
son came when ordinary troops
sided with the people and re-
fused to open fire. BloodShed
occurred only when the KWB.
the security forces. were called
in.
Daily Essentials Sore Point
None of this means that the
Poles themselves are dissatisfied
with state ownership. There is,
according to Western diplomats.
no evidence that any appreci-
able number want a return to
prewar days with a vast gap
between rich and poor.
1t does mean that the current
Communist leadership is blamed
for sacrificing the present for
the future. aiming at immense
and impersonal industrial tar
gets at the expense of daily
essentials.
The people in Moscow, despite
their own low standard, have
far more in the way of every
day comforts than the people
of Warsaw. In Russia. food
prices in particular are kept IN
line with wages.
The Poles are aware of this
contrast and it only adds to an
already deep-rooted dislike for
Russians. Jan Wroblewski from
his park bench made the sage
observation, What we want
here is to run things for our
selves. Maybe it's all right to
have an ally in Russia, but We
should speak for ourselves in
the way the Yugoslavs do"
