BRITISH REPORT ON POLISH POLL
(Rcc. 11.30 a.m.) LONDON. Jan. 23. The British Government has received from the British Embassy in Warsaw a report on the Polish ejections, says Reuter.
It is expected that a statement will be made on the subject in the House of Commons.
The Warsaw correspondent of the Associated Press says the Peasant Party leader <M. Mikolajczyk) said he handed a memoranda to the British, American and Russian Ambassadors in Warsaw contending that the Yalta and Potsdam agreements guaranteeing free and unfettered elections, wore grossly violated.
M. Mikolajczyk announced that the Peasant Party would ask the Polish Supreme Court to annul the elections. He said that if the Government had allowed Peasant Party observers to attend all polling stations, the party would have received between 60 and 70 per cent of the votes instead of between 5 and 6 per cent.
The party executive early in February would consider whether to boycott Parliament.
