TASK FOR POLISH COMMITTEE
Civil Administration LONDON, July 23. Tonight Moscow radio, in a Polish-lan-guage broadcast announced that a Polish Committee of National Liberation had been set up in the city of Chelm which was taken by the Red Army yesterday. The committee’s job would be the civil administration of liberated Poland, it was stated. The decree setting up the committee is said to have been issued from Warsaw by the Polish National Council of the Homeland.
The committee in a manifesto repudiated the Polish Government in London and stated that the frontiers would be settled by mutual agreement. It announced the establishment of a citizens militia. A representative of the Polish Government in London described the'new Polish committee as a body of Left-Wing radical intellectuals. “They are not representative of the peasant classes,” he said. “They are really the Moscow group of the Union of Polish Patriots. Their niain difficulty will be to get the recognition of the Polish people.”
