RUSSIAN ATTACK

“Unfriendly” Polish Government ARTICLE IN “PRAVDA” LONDON, February 13; A bitter attack on the Polish Government in London is made by the Moscow paper “Pravda.” “Polish politicians,” it states, “are tearfully complaining that their friendly’ expressions are regarded coolly in Moscow. Moscow does not believe - in tears, specially false, lying tears. Never have Polish politicians of Sosnikowski’s type regarded the Red Army as the army of our Allies.' They do not want to hide their purely Fascist hatred of the SovietJ” (General Sosnkowski is commander-in-chief of the Polish armed forces.) . ‘ ~, ... Allied observers believe that the article presages new developments in the Russian attitude to the,Polish question. The smashing attack by “Pravda’ on the Polish Government in London would appear to remove finally any chance for a settlement of the Polish question by negotiation, and indicates that the Soviet Government will now consider other means of settlement of the question, says Reuter’s Moscow correspondent. The Soviet Government feels that there is ho obstacle to a settlement as far as the Polish people are concerned, and it can accordingly be presumed that the Soviet will now search for ways and means which will ignore the Lbndon Government altogether.
