POLISH ISSUE

.. SEEKING SOLUTION

(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) WASHINGTON, April 22. In the next 36 hours the Foreign Ministers'of the Big Three and President Truman will try to work out an I agreement whereby" the Polish Govern- . ment of National Unity will be repre- . sented at San Francisco,, says the . United Press. If the Foreign Ministers' ; conferences fail it is doubted whether ; Poland will be represented, though it , is a member of the United Nations. The Associated Press says that the s urgency of the questions awaiting dis- ■ cussion was underscored by an uni usual Sunday "conference of British and American "officials with President, s Truman at the White House. ! The diplomatic correspondent of- the i "Daily Telegraph,". London, says the , Russo-Polish Treaty has complicated ; the Polish' issue, which it was hoped I to settle by way of the Crimea decision, i The satisfaction over the signing of the treaty is considerably tempered by

the fact that the two parties did not want to implement* the Crimea decision whereby the present provisional Polish. Government, which is not recognised by either Britain or America, was to be replaced by a broader administration, representing a wider field of Polish political opinion. ATTITUDE MADE CLEAR. Both the British and American Governments were only informed by Moscow when the pact was about to be concluded, and it can be said that they made their attitude quite clear. It appears from all the indications reaching London that Russia has now set her hand against including Polish representatives fr,om abroad in the Government. The leaders of the British, Russian, Chinese, and American delegations will address the second plenary session of the conference on Thursday, it is stated officially in Washington. The head delegates of these four sponsoring nations are the four Foreignl Secretaries—Mr. -Eden, Mr. Molotov. Dr. Soong, and Mr. Stettinius.
