POLISH PREMIER
RESIGNS OFFICE
Stormy Cabinet Meeting Over
Attitude To Russia
N.Z. Press Association —Copyright Rec. 12.30 p.m. LONDON, Feb. 17. The Polish Prime Minister, M. Mikolajczyk, has resigned after a stormy Cabinet meeting, at which he put forward proposals for the modification of the Polish official attitude to Russia. He made the following demands:—(l) The dismissal of the Polish Commander-in-
Chief, General Sosnowski, and the Minister of War, General Kukiel; (2) drastic changes in the Polish General Staff; (3) an official instruction to the Polish resistance groups to do everything in their power to assist the advancing Red Army. M. Mikolajczyk is stated to have declared that he was unable to accept responsibility for the Prime Ministership while members of the Government adopted such an uncompromising attitude to some of his proposals. Informed circles in London understand that it was the proposal to replace the generals which precipitated his resignation.
