WARSAW’S LACK OF COMMUNICATIONS
LITTLE CONTACT WITH OTHER COUNTRIES LONDON, December 30. “A year after the liberation, Poland’s capital is still the most isolated in the world,” says the Warsaw correspondent of the Associated Press. “Embassies have been without aeroplane contact with other countries for as much as three weeks at a time. There is no direct radio contact either east or west, and only a single-line telegraph system is operating to Moscow, Prague, and Budapest, on x which the average transmission time is 12 days.
“Diplomats and newspaper correspondents are obliged ‘to depend on aircraft for mail, but persistent fog in Warsaw often makes landings and takeoffs impossible. “Government officials are hopeful that there will be normal communications from January 1, when the American Radio Corporation expects to put Poland in direct .contact with London and New York, having replaced the radio facilities destroyed by the Nazis.”
